I endeavour to live my life by the words of Robert Frost's The Road Not Taken: 'Two roads diverged in a wood, and I - I took the one less travelled by...' Whatever that means...

I think that I was expressing my opinion (re your verse) in a less than precise manner. I was trying to give you a genuine glimpse that I sometimes have of the difficulty I can encounter in making sense of the written word in its grammatical context. Several more attempts made it clear. Tommy ???

I think it is difficult for your latest verse "Out of my head!" to be liked but an attempt to reread delivers something. Tommy
Hi chrystel, just wanted to say that the reason I said I would try and live up to the line, "Poets see the beauty of the glass," is because, not only is it a truly beautiful sentiment, but also a really keen philosophical insight. I read that and thought, "Now there is something that would genuinely be worth trying to do, not worrying about whether my glass is half full or half empty, but just appreciating how beautiful it is to have a glass at all."
Just wonderful writing.

Hi Chrystel! Thanks for stopping by at my profile! "Three Litle Words", though the theme is generally overworn you didn't fall into a cliche, you kept it short and actually made a point! I enjoy your work! Kudos!?
