nice piece Lisa referring to the old saying ' absence makes the heart grow fonder' and I'm sure most of us who have been parted from those we have loved and left behind for whatever petty reasons come to find how very true that saying is.
Can't we be bloody fools to ourselves at times!

Very true Cynthia, our whole culture is overtly sexualised. Don't get me wrong, I am most definitely no prude, but the words, "Age appropriate," seem to escape some people. Good point well made.

My first poem was about time, I cannot remember it now. So keep this one safe. Good luck with your poetry writing. You’ve made a good start.

To be honest, it's a life I wish I could afford to live, but especially with poetry, there seems to be no money in it, it's a labour of love, and sadly that doesn't put food on the table. Love the poem.

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!?

Hey Tommy,
"...making sense of the written word..."
I totally understand. I too struggle with this sometimes.
Thank you for taking the time to give me your honest opinion regarding my work.

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 ???

Lisa,
Yorkshire is a county in the north of England which has a pronounced accent and the people there a very good brand of humour. Kevin´s poems and the lanuage he uses epitomise this accent.

Enjoyed this Vautaw I am always thinking that when you get up and see yourself in the mirror you should look happy to see yourself, and yes it can be hard but we all owe ourselves some kindness.

Great poem Keith. The edge of destruction is not within the minds of those whose hearts are full of greed.
I am curious though...isn't Yorkshire 'English'? Is it just in dialect that it differs? I speak American English and I know it can be very different from English English.

Chrystel,
A good poem with a theme that needs to be broadcast. Learning is not necessarily achieving. My penultimate school report said, "Keith talks too much in class". This was followed by my final report which said, "Who is this boy?", by which time I had perfected the art of truancy.
Thank you for this
Keith

hi Keith, I much appreciated this one. I tried to share a link which naively but brilliantly demonstrates the futility of the escalation of weapons. ( Don did once shoe me how to share links, but it's still beyond me)
If you get time have a look at Butter Battle Book by Dr Seuss. its on YouTube and lasts about 25 minutes.
by the way, I speak English as a second language (Yorkshire being my first)

On a related theme, school students here are becoming stressed because they can't get 100% in tests. A program is underway to get the message across that 95% is still OK.
