Shadow Hamilton Poems

Poem of the Day

Blog Posted by Shadow Hamilton: 1/1/2024 9:51:00 AM

I would like to thank THREE Poets SARA, SILENT ONE and SOTTO who have FANTASTIC in encouraging me to strive to better poetry.

Although back in 2014 to 2020 I had some success and wrote three books I had to stop because of fading eye sight which was very hard. I am glad to say due to advancing medical I with the help of an injection every 5 to 8 weeks it has improved.

I was so rusty when I came back that I deleted most of what I wrote. The three above Poets kept encouraging and also inspiring me with their beautiful works and I helped myself by reading my own poems from 2014 onwards. all of this rewoke something and althouh I am still Rusty its getting easer

I owe everything to them and thank them so much

Shadow, your words are truly heartwarming and they remind me of how even the tiniest acts of kindness can leave a profound impact on an individual. I am genuinely grateful for your return, and I wholeheartedly concur with your sentiments about the three poets who bring immense joy and inspiration to the Soup community. Moreover, I am elated to hear that your eyesight is getting better. Keep on writing, my friend.

That is a very sweet thing for you to say Shadow and it shows the smallest gesture can have such a big impact on someone.. Even a smile or a hello.. You came back at the same time I came back, so it was nice to have some familiar faces around... I hope you can keep writing despite the struggles you face.. All the best..
