Deb M Poet Rhyme

-The Power Of Positive Comments

I am a confident, content person
l know and like who l am
I know my strengths and weaknesses
Me …l understand

Though at times , l lack confidence in aspects of my academic ability 
I have never really considered myself creative or smart
Recently my self doubt has been boosted
Creating a positive change of heart

The recent Alphabet poems l have written 
Alphabet gossip being the subject
Have received unbelievable encouraging comments
Comments, l truly did not expect

Words like clever, imaginative ,creative 
Words l can’t and won’t ignore
Have elevated my fluctuating confidence
Like never before

I want to sincerely thank those poets
Who voiced such kind, genuine positivity
The power of your thoughts and words
Have encouraged a more confident academic self belief in me

Ilene Bauer February 25, 2025 at 12:37 PM it's always a great feeling to read positive comments, deb, but you should never doubt yourself, even if you don't get a single comment at all (or worse, a negative one, which should never happen). if you are satisfied with what you write, that's the most important thing, but, of course, it's wonderful to get some encouragement, too... Deb M July 9, 2026 at 5:35 AM Thankyou ilene…Debx

Lin Lane February 25, 2025 at 11:52 AM I read your poem, Keep Away, Deb and the comment made by someone who refused to explain what it meant. That kind of discouragement is not supposed to be allowed on the site. Of course, it was deleted when you took that person to task over it, and before many could see it. It's par for that person's outspoken manner. Deb M July 9, 2026 at 5:34 AM Thanks Lin….Debx

Terry Flood February 25, 2025 at 11:26 AM I’m sure your intellect is fully intact, Deb. You enjoy my poems, which demonstrates astoundingly good taste and displays a profound understanding of creative art. All this leaves me in little doubt that you recognise balderdash when you see it. Let me know if you encounter any. Terry. Terry Flood July 9, 2026 at 5:47 AM That’s what I love about the internet… you can get a message from one side of the world to the other… in only fifteen months ;-) Deb M July 9, 2026 at 5:34 AM Always in my good graces Terry! Debx Lin Lane February 25, 2025 at 11:52 AM Knowing Deb, I'm sure you're still in her good graces, Terry. Terry Flood February 25, 2025 at 11:27 AM Ahem… perhaps I should have added, “You are, of course, a smashing poet.” ( phew, think I got away with that!)

Anne-Lise Andresen February 25, 2025 at 10:49 AM - (I will be 100% honest) ... - if I don't like a poem or have something positive to write to the poet ... I will move on without commenting ... I hope most people do the same - The day my poems don't get comments ... I will stop posting ... it's important to get feedback on what you write - The power to continue, Deb :) - hugs Deb M July 9, 2026 at 5:33 AM Thankyou Sunshine! Debx
