Are the poets idle? Are they "some" retirees? For they write riddles; while calling it poetry. They always writing something; everyday "reading eyes" see. One another they praising; like "that's" a fraternity! Even in the winter; yes! some writing cold. Don't talk about summer; then self they bold. All day they parading, up and down the street. Poetry not even fading; poets extending "their" fleet. I wanted to blank them; want to do so bad. But the occasional gem-poem, "that", does make it hard. But stop i must stop; stop reading they stuff. First i learning their system; then calling "meh" bluff!
Hi, byfaith, We all do the best we can, in the time we have, to read and write and live. May we all continue to write whenever the muse befriends us. That's what poets must do.
ok gnj4u, lets write. shakespeare would say: if writing is your food of love, then write-on!

Hi byfaith...maybe I post in rapid succession, but I write very quickly...does it show.... and use alot from the memory written during study.... But it's my therapy, and recently my saving grace...but I will be reducing soon, as I pack up house and move. Expect a day or two...off line....enjoy freedom from me....but I will be back...Niah
