Reviews

[William Michael Reeves]

I missed this one ... almost. The websites poets inhabit are like wells. Wells of inspiration and encouragement. True friends found, as virtual as they may be. Patronizing writerscafe has enriched the ink I dip my my pen into. What I've learned from you and other poets have changed my poetry as well as my life. The well never seems to dry up when poets share their ink!

Your beautiful words William,

Are true without fault.
This poem and original form are special for me, as they were created on and for a wonderful now gone learning site I proudly served on for several years, and that year (2010) as its Laureate.
Although, our internet poetesses, authoresses, authors, and poets may be but virtual friends; and, though they may not know, some shall remain vibrantly alive in my heart for as long as I live, and in the breath of my soul eternally.
From the beginning, I've known you have the heart and potential of a great poet ⁓ you need but to take your skills seriously, so they can blossom and flourish.

I thank you most gratefully, Syr, for the gift of your kind, gracious words of praise and expressed appreciation.
Sincerely! ⁓ Richard🖌

So true Richard. We all share the love of the written word and expressing those words in beautiful ways! Yes, those pens awake and ponder! :-) There is a comfort in shared passion. Your Inkwell flows its WELCOME, to all that gather here.

Thanks, Susan

For your always kind, appreciative, understanding, and encouraging words … You get it!
This is welcome/introduction poem I was asked to compose for the site (The Poets' Inkwell) I then served as its laureate.

Warmest blessings! ⁓ Richard🖌

Thank you ever-so gratefully, Dear Lady Lisa 🎶

For selecting this original little number to read, so enthusiastically comment on, and love … what more could a beaming bard hope for!

Try it, you'll like it … the details are simple and easy to follow, too!
Happy hugs to You! ⁓ Richard🖌

It reads like such a welcome place...A place, a calling, one can embrace at one's own sweet pace. Where we find those like us, with pens woken up and the stirrings within to write it all. Some have begun early, some late yet all have felt the pull of words and have by an amazing play of chance landed here. I'm very convinced of one thing, however, that I've learnt more here than anywhere else. This site has been one of friendships and invaluable learning.
Regarding the form itself, I enjoyed it very much. I find forms very interesting and this was one such form. I have tried them often and enjoyed the process and I still do if I can find the time and energy for it. I think its an art not easily perfected and those who have must be applauded for it. So here's a big hand of applause from me. Kudos Richard!

BLUSH!

Divya 🌾
I was feeling a bit low this early morn' … until, coming upon your wonderfully gracious, uplifting review.
Who could help but smile all over after reading such kind, wise, and interesting sentiments as yours … there's an invitingly warm glow emanating from your ink.
I, too, have garnered much over numerous years from many friends made at the Café (on all levels), and in uncountable measures of skill … You, of course, highly valued, revered, and admired amongst them.

Thank you ever-so gratefully, Dear Divya, for sharing your praise and expressed appreciation, and most of all, for showing me such sincere kindness.

Bless you for being You! ⁓ Richard🖌
