Panic

Believe it or not, no one. I just got to thinking about children and how they can get scared over almost any little thing and extrapolated from there. Glad you liked it. Rett: It may look easy, when you look at me, But it took years of effort, to become the mess that you see John Fogerty

Peter, I have written since I was 15 years old and have been turned down so many times you wouldn't believe it. I had a bit of a run at the old Edgewise Cafe on webchat broadcasting system at one time and I had one of my poems read by Jeff Bridges off broadway but that has been the extent. No publications other than a couple of defunct websites. I got so tired of being turned down because publishers now days consider anything that rhymes as anathema. They see it and reject it w/o even reading it. I got so disgusted that I haven't written anything at all for over 3 years. I tried out a few other sites and nothing fit my taste. One I thought might was Poetry Castle and I signed up and 2 weeks later still could not post or comment so I gave up, then came here. I guess I am as stubborn and stupid as the editors as I refuse to change my style because I actually think in rhyme a lot of the time. Okay, I'll quit boring you. I am very happy you enjoyed this poem and I really appreciate you taking the time to read and comment. Have a good day my friend.

Thank you so much. The references were a bit obscure, but were meant to be. Thanks for reading. Rett: It may look easy, when you look at me, But it took years of effort, to become the mess that you see John Fogerty

Thanks Jess. I do appreciate it. I used those references because children can get so scared at the least noise or shadow. There was some really good imagery there that fit for what I was trying to convey. We can disagree on some things though and still appreciate each others work. Each of us has our own beliefs on things and neither of us can actually do more than think what we do. I truly appreciate your viewpoint and comments. Even if we disagree on some things. thanks Rett: They say that money talks. Sadly, my wallet has laryngitis!
