I may not always succeed in making a difference, but I will go to my grave knowing I at least tried.

I was waiting for one more verse to finish off ?

Seems to sort of hang ?

You'll get hang. It doesn't need anything more.

Thanks Maureen. Some things are priceless and you simply can't buy them.

You're always wanting more Bob. :lol: 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.

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! :lol:
