Re: Knowing Without Asking
Well done Heather. Great to see you posting this
Neat concise little piece.
You've been babysitting again.

Re: Knowing Without Asking
Thanks Maureen. Some things are priceless and you simply can't buy them.
You're always wanting more Bob.
The last line sums it up.
Not babysitting Neville, this one was inspired by a friend.
I only wrote one poem last year so hopefully I'm off to a good start - it's a start anyway. As Leonard Cohen said, "I don’t think you can write novels on the road. You need a certain stability." Same with poetry I think.

Re: Knowing Without Asking
Fixed the typo Heather.
Not cryptic Bob, that's just a saying.
If it needed any more Heather would have put it in. I think that if the reader reads Heather's poem in less than two minutes they are going too fast and then will miss the completion. Poetry is not about ' once upon a time....blah blah blah bah ...............they lived happily ever after. Amen. Next

Gotcha Neville.
Two minutes might be a bit slow for this one Neville, you'd start to sound like a Queenslander! Maybe one minute - twice!
