I don't know where my review to this gone? it seems I deleted it ? anyway. You've descried yourself well and true here, because You already are all of these and more. simple but like always well written and deliver the lesson smoothly with no force. I like your chosen photo, the Man and the Woman, i.e all humans should behave as your lines say. Thank You Syr for sharing your wisdom through your creative art.

Hi, Dear Ghounwah 🥀

As I arrived to comment on your pervious review, I, too, wondered why/where it had disappeared?
But, how wonderful it truly is to find your humbling words of praise, kindness, agreed upon understanding, and encouragement.
I had thought you might like the photo when I selected it for this piece.
You always grasp the core essence of my work; this is one reason (of many) why I so deeply appreciate your time spent reading and reviewing me.

With most grateful hugs 'n blessings, I most warmly thank you, Dear Ghounwah! ⁓ Richard🖌

Dearest Richard; these are very wise words crafted in poetic style.... I agree with all of them, so thank you for sharing them... the one that really caught my eye is:"To those you failed to help, hope for another chance".... brilliant!
Best, B

Oh, Lady Betty 🥀

How delightfully encouraging your gracious words of praise and acquiescence lay upon a bard's hopeful ear, and your lines favored flow warmly amidst my own, as-well.

Happy Holiday Hugs! ⁓ Richard 🌿

A fine didactic poem, different from your other styles and content. Kudos for these poetic advises.
My regards our great poet, you ought to write more often with your popular charming pen.

Holiday Greetings, Dear Zaynab! 🌿

True, this one is a bit different (in a philosophical sort of way) from my other pieces, as many are different, each from the others, as-well … but, I get the gist of your meanings, and it's great to know we see eye-to-eye in our deeper ideals.

Your accolades so warmly blush an olde bard so nicely.
Thank you ever-so much, M'Lovely Lady-Poet ⁓ Richard 🍃

I really enjoyed this piece, the wording of it reminds of an angel coming down to tell me its alright

With Happy Holiday Blessings! ⁓ Richard 🍃

Merry Christmas Richard and you are welcome.

[Carola]

it would be a wonderful world richard, if your so-true words were etched into everyone's consciousness. I would imagine much less conflict all around, & at least we'd resolve our differences in a much more preferable way.
have a great weekend.

Ahhh, M'Lady Carola 🍷

Such a pleasure it is to receive your always keen grasp of my humble little efforts, and that we see eye-to-eye on the precepts of this rather succinct piece touches my heart in the ways I'd hoped someone would.

I thank you ever-so sincerely for sharing your lovely presence here with me … Peace 'n love be with thee, Dear Poetess! ⁓ Richard🖌

[Carola]

even your comments are so poetically artistic and exotic Richard.
I've written my flying memoir.
should you happen to like reading memoirs perhaps you'd like to take a peek.
blue skies to you, cheerio carola
