Thank You

From my heart to yours....

Many Thanks to you….

You, who take the time to read and review

By your very presence reading these lines,

You’ve distinguished yourself to me most fine

This site is built on reciprocation

I read your poems, and leave comments or approbations

 

So many a friend with poems just written

Request reads, but does not bother submitting

Comments of praise or encouragement to others;

They allow their silence to fill and to falter

 

So, out of an abundance of Appreciation

I have decided to recognize your participation.

For, I value your time and comments most honored

It lights up my day and sharpens my candor

 

This writing is honest and direct from my heart

It is not to be mistaken for satire, sarcasm, or tart

I truly do appreciate you

For all the times you’ve read and reviewed.

 

Please know that I have made an honest effort

To read through your writing, with comments left for

Praise and thanksgiving for writing with flair

Poetry, prose, or short story fair.

 

I have tried to comment and add my thoughts

To help you fix simple syntax and naught

I’ve tried to be helpful, respectful, and bright

To help guide your writing this salient night.

 

 

Thank you, dear friends.

 

Always,

Bright Ocean Star

Awwee, Mr. Einstein. I appreciate you, as well. I am always overjoyed to see you and the others leave comments and helpful corrections. Its true that often it takes another set of eyes to see something that we miss, due only to the fact that we are too close to see it ourselves. Thank you for stopping in, my friend....:)

Well said. I agree with everything you say here. Nothing worse than sharing thoughts without thoughts coming back. Perfect poem!

[Bright Ocean Star]

Thank you, KW, I appreciate you dropping in to read this one. It is true. After awhile of constantly reading and reviewing another poet's work, it becomes pretty obvious when they don't reciprocate back. It leaves bad feelings all around. Thank you again..:)

Oh wow, that's some thank you note, dear Bright Ocean Star. I remember I was just a newbie when I met you on this site. You and all the other writers on here have helped me so much. My writing has become so much better because of the constant support that I've received on here. Thank you for your support, dear ocean star. I will forever be indebted to you. Keep the gorgeous poems coming!! My favourite lines in here would be
