To all my NeoPoet friends

 

To all my friends
whatever their sways
let me make amends
for my neglectful ways

 

This site has consumed me
devoured yet enriched me
I have perused its history
and the beauty is no mystery

 

Here is honesty and truth
love in abundance
poetry of substance
often quite uncouth

 

So for the last week
or maybe more
I have gone back through the pages
to be sure no-one is ignored
especially the self-effacing meek

 

So if I have not posted
or made you properly roasted
on your recent work
its not that I do shirk.

 

It’s that I care.

Balance is something you pass through...

Balance is something you pass through, no one care ever stay balanced; juggling posting versus writing is more like a teeter totter, but the trick is not to leave one side up in the air too long, its a cute poem for you Using your word Cheers

ta Frost

you know I would really like to write a lot more rhyming and well versified stuff, barbsdad is a kind of hero to me on this site, but I am not sure if I am too lazy, too scared or too un-talented. Gonna have a deep think about this. cheers, Jess

No different than me going

No different than me going back through all of your work nine months after I joined. I'd always planned on doing this. It's proving quite interesting - and lighting a fire under you on a regular basis - which is always fun. Best, Ronda
