Surreal

Changing Life From the outside looking in

Our culture

And life were of separate worlds.

Different life stories,

And cultural beliefs.

She shows me ways of beauty

In life, I often missed.

Bringing peace that I have not had, but often envied.

The difference for me,

A feeling surreal.

As I look in on a life

That is out of this world.

But not really surreal.

an interesting write Will it must be such a pleasure to discover so much with a love from a different culture, you wrote a lovely poem about it, most enjoyable my friend :)

[Willard Wells]

Thank you Richard for taking time to view my words and comment. I am a lucky man.

[wordman]

i guess the love always come first,then the rest can be explored

[Willard Wells]

Well even with love we had to determine if our different cultures could coexist. It's been over five years, so I think we are on the right path. Thank you so much for your review.

[wordman]

it was my pleasure

[sereenaoutloud]

I have grown up with such a mixture of cultures and it really does open your eyes to so much more!
Love this Willard,
Its a beautiful write! :)

[Willard Wells]

Thank you so much young lady. I always look forward to your review and comments. I seem to have been given new eyes when I met my love.

Marrying outside your culture can have its challenges, but it also has the reward of making life so much richer. It adds textures and hues that we never even considered.

Did you mean to leave that one long line instead of splitting it into two? As I look at it, I really cannot figure out the why? so I decided to just ask. To be honest I did not copy and paste to look at it different formats.

[Willard Wells]

I will review the formating. I do not like the program I am using to work on this computer. I thought I could get use to it over MS Word, but after 30 years of word, I am more familiar with it and know what to expect. This one is different all the time. Thanks for the comments and your time.

Try just downloading Google Docs. You can use your files on your computer or phone if you look and post from there. Not sure. MS Word now has a free phone app too, which is nice for work.

[Willard Wells]

I have a number of cloud locations that I keep my files, but it is when I look at the volume and managing it. I think I am going to need a spreadsheet where I track where they are and where they were posted and at some point maybe where they were submitted.

[JayceeC]

Lol how many sites do you post on. This is one of three for me.

[Willard Wells]

Primarily two. The issue is when I want to work on a piece which I do off line, I want something beyond a list of my files. That's why with a spreadsheet I can add a date when written and track it by date or maybe a few other cross reference fields. There are two others site I have played on, but they are more trouble than they are worth.

[JayceeC]

This tends to be my favorite right now. I love the friends I have here and there are enough protections that I don't worry too much about kixs stumbling over my more explicit writing, which I wouldn't publish before.

[Willard Wells]

This is my favorite also. i am considering a blog for myself, but not sure it would gain any thing for me.

Hello Sir Wells, those lovely pictures are back..I can see all
your words just printed on the clear side of this picture, for they go side by side accordingly, two cultures combined are always
beautiful in all aspects,, cool write."

[Willard Wells]

Thank you so much for your kind words on my writing. Much appreciated.

[Perkele.7885]

Terrific Wii, Top shelf, next to the Royal Crown and Courvoisier!

[Willard Wells]

WOW. With those kind of kind words, I may need to stop writing now as I have received the top praise of Raj.

[Perkele.7885]

Nah, keep writing, levels are constantly in flux!

[Willard Wells]

Oh, OK. I feel better. Thanks.

[Bare Trees]

The first sentence is a bad way to start a poem. IMHO

[Willard Wells]

Thanks and I agree. I have played with it and changed it and decided to put it out and get some views.

[Bare Trees]

I see it as: She came into my life from (to me) another world. Or something to that affect. The poem itself is fine and I should have said so. My apologies.

[Willard Wells]

I made a number of changes since once I started with first sentence it just started talking to me. The flow from the beginning did not really work and the change made me try to improve the flow. Thanks for your review and follow up. It looks like we saw a similar change.

[Bare Trees]

No problem, I like the way you revised it.

[Willard Wells]

Thank you. You got me off the dime.
