I believe hard not to repeat some words. I have study poetry in college and read all the master of poetry that I could. I tell the young people. Read the old timers like William Cowper, Richard Crashaw , Alexander Pope and John Milton. There are many other. They were the first word-men who used words and thoughts to open doors to thoughts and wonder. I don't get too excited when someone borrow a line or two from me. We learn from each other. To steal a complete poem is very wrong. I believe a writer's goal is to motivate another to think and write. A excellent poem. Few people have style that are hard to copy. I would love to be able to write like Dante and describe like George martin. Thank you.

Think i said similar though nowhere as well to someone last evening who left a wretchedly arrogant comment for a fifteen year old! You've gathered a well.meaning body of people to stand up and be counted, to speak out about those so and so's who think they have rights to be unkind under the guise of helpful reviewers. Thank you so much, Jack.

I just think that some of these people either need to lay off or disappear. Most of us here are just having fun, writing a little poetry and making a few friends. It is unfortunate that a few (and they may all be the same person) bad apples have to bark and mess things up for everyone. Thanks again.
These words are truly yours, my friend! I love the write...it was visual, etheral, introspective and it really had something to say! So much of what I read, here and everywhere really, is just beautiful words with nothing to really say, and this is certainly something that "screams". I loved it.

Thanks so very much. Just a little steam being released.
no one could steal these words, jack! this is necessary and impressive. i applaud you for this write! now, let's hear a round of swirling toilet water for these self inflated overblown egos who think it is their sole purpose in life to deal out scathing crap to every writer here who is learning to hone their craft and would do better with encouragement and positive reviews instead of "not bad" or "i would have been more satisfied with" what their interpretation would have been if they, in fact, had anything to offer other than drivel and negativity....maybe they should go play with the bigger fish if they are so impressive. thank you jack, for this wonderful write and expose.....
Well now that is to the point isnt it. We here all know those who pretend to be someone they are not. Or just lay waste all they encounter in the name of fun i suppose. And hide behind their avatars. What could possibly be the reason for hiding in plain sight.So Apropos

Thanks Tate, I figured I'd step into the fray and lend a piece of my mind.
Hmm... Apparently there's something going on around here that I'm not noticing. (Not unusual, I don't stay and socialize very much on the site) Powerful write!

I know it was not my best, but I wrote it quickly for fun. Thanks for reading. I really don't know why people would want to do something like that, it really puzzles me, but it was brought to my attention so i figured...why not.
Hahaha well that about wraps it up for public service announcements for the night! Perfect with the goings on around here lately... You know the people that this pertains to won't read it or won't recognize themselves....good message, they don't deserve such a pristine bathroom though!
Not much to tell about me, I am just Jack, I am a poet, a writer, a musician, a painter, a builder and a dreamer. I live in south Texas but am originally from New Jersey and miss it more and more all .. more..
