 For what its worth.

      What does that even mean?

Often my words HAVE no monetary value;

      worth only (one over two) the value I place on my sanity.

Can a person love work?

      I love my work

and yet work is tedious and a hard thing to do.

      I call my love work.

But why must you take it,

      take the time and energy

      the raw physical labor that I was planning on saving

for the cause.

It is because of love that I allow these transgressions.

      Just as I cannot decry a word for it's limited meanings,

      I can only love it more for its

poignant use.

The ending is great. I loved it the first, second and third time I read it. I dig the way you did (one over two) for half, as well. I didn't quite understand what you were going for with the theme. You shall tell me in detail the next time I see you. It was beautifully written and I dig the way your poems have been lately. Please...do not take offense to me not knowing what it means : that's just an easier way for me to say I'm too nervous to guess and would much rather just know. Hope all is well sweetie. Keep writing -- you're my favorite writer on here (and Mikey, too).

Beautiful dear. The way it starts with "for what it's worth" makes me feel like I'm being said goodbye to. Just a first thought. Then the second line changes that tone. The next brings it back a little...ect. The flow is very nice. My favorite part by far is, "I love my work..." through "I call my love work." So, so good. Slight change -- whole new meaning. All in all, I love it. It's nice to read something new, I miss reading you. See you soon.

Good points, to be sure. I love to write and write (sometimes) about love or to my love. A few friends keep asking me about monetary value of my poetry - I tell them words are free and putting them together frees me! I'll have to read more of your writings!!
