A good recollection tale Marty good indeed

We all have to make our own mistakes and learn from them - words from the wise never are when we are young

Love this poem Marty I see the picture so well and relate to the words you have written. IMO an excellent piece. Thank you for sharing it

Cheers

Nice one, Marty. The rhyming pattern has gone west in verse 4. You might want to have a look at that.

[Stephen Whiteside]

No worries, Marty. I was thinking you might like to try to find a way to switch 'coals' from the first line to the second to pick up 'goals' in the last line.

Camp fires are good when you need to ponder.

Great poem Marty!! What a shame the ability to reflect doesn't come a little earlier eh?!?!

[Stephen Whiteside]

Goodonya, Marty. I knew you could do it.

[Stephen Whiteside]

Point taken. I didn't mean to sound patronising. It's just that I know how I have felt in situations like that in the past - and my first thought is usually that I can't do it. But then, as you say, you go away and start to pick away at the problem, and eventually the solution falls into place.

Dreams can turn into nightmares but what must it be like to not
have dreams?
Good poem.

[Stephen Whiteside]

Can nightmares turn into dreams also, Dennis? I hope so. Sounds like the idea for a poem...
