Author's Note

For Noel, who sent me this song.

Reviews

[Jon Roggie]

I think it comes to acceptance. Nice write!

[Lyn Anderson]

Thank you very much for popping in.

[Jon Roggie]

As a side note, what is this format you talk about?

[Lyn Anderson]

One word per line. It annoys some people, as I found in the past.

[Jon Roggie]

I go with my constant comment, "Just write."

[Pryde Foltz]

So true … make a sound and they hear you. Some great rhythm set up with this piece.

[Lyn Anderson]

Thanks Pryde, I appreciate the view and the review.

[Rene Salinas]

I suck at admission most of the time in oblivion I. I am not too bad at submission (smiles), transference, well if I only knew what am I suppose to be responsible for that would make it easier as for skirting , if I only knew what to skirt. Sighs!. The one line it is defined in the boring IT world as scroll typing and it's great for me as I donlt need to make sense that way as no sentences commited. I continue to enjoy this which is your journey.

Thrills and Pills hopefully no bellyaches.

Thankyou

[Lyn Anderson]

Thanks so much for the ever thoughtful reviews.

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

Avoiding your feelings is far easier than expressing them for sure.

[Lyn Anderson]

That is for sure.

:))))))))))

[Coyote Poetry]

Amazing use of words. I had to read again. Thank you for sharing your amazing poetry.

[Lyn Anderson]

Well, I am pleased that you felt prompted to.:)

[redflutterby]

And some people can just kiss your a*s..ha!! Ive said it before and i'll say it again, if people don't like a certain style or type of poem then don't read it. A one line format poem is pretty obvious from glancing at the screen so why not just move on to something more to their liking?? Probably because many people are a******s.... sigh

[Lyn Anderson]

Yes, to each his own. There's lots of stuff I don't read, or do, and decline to comment, out of respect for other people's styles and tastes. But common sense and just plain politeness don't always rule in an anonymous format. :)

[redflutterby]

True KL...ive seen some stuff on here which I find objectionable and I simply move along. But it usually has to do with content never format.

[Madalyn Beck]

Wow. KL, you have a way with penning these powerful and introspective pieces. You are absolutely right. Skirting the issue is easier than admitting we cause our own problems. Perfect piece! Love the structure as well! xo :)

[Lyn Anderson]

Thank you so much. I once had a person say my poem was the worst poem they ever saw due to the one word format. That same person claimed they didn't comment on poems if they didn't like them. So much for constructive criticism. I understand opinion, but that is just pointless.:)

[Madalyn Beck]

Well, I think the one word format works for this write. I can understand some might not work, but still, it is a matter of opinion and how the writer wants it to come across. I feel this is perfect! :)

[AprilRN1210]

not a big country fan, but this was a cute song... as far as the poem.. wow.. I have to say, this is powerful ma'am... we like to dance around the problems that define, accept, and deal with em... the evolution is told in the most profound way... those one words when done right are the most intense way to knock it out the park.. and that is what you did with this one.. I am in awe... absolutely brilliant...

[Lyn Anderson]

Thank you so much. I am not a country "fan" either, as you can see from my normal music tastes. However, I am open minded enough to add some things into my repertoire. If you really like a person who introduces you to something, sometimes it pays to have an open mind. In this case, the shoe fit, so I put it on.

[AprilRN1210]

yea me too, but out of 100 songs, maybe 5 are country... lol
lets see you doe-see-doe around in those cowgirl boots ma'am... yeeeeehaaaaw!

[Lyn Anderson]

Oh, my only cowboy boots are biker boots -- a compromise:)

[AprilRN1210]

haha!! agreed.. mind are thigh high-high heeled boots... black and leather.. whatever works.. :)

[Lyn Anderson]

Yeah, thigh high doesn't work for everyone -- lucky gal, you. I would look like a dime store hooker in those.:)

[AprilRN1210]

agreed... I have seen some girls wearing things they know they have no business wearing... but others are able to pull it off.. different flavors is what makes the world go 'round... and those days I do wear them are few and far between.. special mood required.. :)

[NoelHC]

Thanks KL, I appreciate that you have come to appreciate some of the heartfelt lyrics in country music as I do. As the song opens:

I don't wanna rush this thing
I don't wanna jump the gun
I really wanna say those three little words
But I'm gonna bite my tongue

Always the doubt, always the uncertainty, easier to skirt the issue.

Hmmmm, one line format, I liked it. Freida challenged me over a 10 word poem a few days ago, I have done nought so far. Maybe a 10 line piece of drivel is in my future.

Well done, I liked the poem, and the format.

[Lyn Anderson]

Thanks so much Noel for your input.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

A sage piece that dribbles like melting ice cream down the page.

[Lyn Anderson]

I think I like Sage
