Secret Rooms

As I said, this is beautiful, since you have not posted for a while I was getting worried. This poem is stunning, I loved every line. Throws rainbows, Patty

I so enjoyed this Moon, especially the last line. It packed a punch! "There's no trick to being a humorist when you have the whole government working for you." Will Rogers

it, or has your writing magically matured in recent times? As you might suspect, I so much like to see such improvement(s). Thanx, Chuck

I like both styles, but I love this type the most. You can have all the rainbows you want. Patty

perhaps you have started to believe that the people who believe in you are not utter idiots. A gorgeous write. cheers, Jess

Hits home in a very emotional way. Excellent imagery and good use of meter and rhyme. Overall, smooth and well focused. The picture you have so eloquently created is one that usually remains hidden from view. Your verse is both very personal and universally applicable. I enjoyed it greatly. John

The play with words and ideas is a pleasure; I like especially the paradoxical conclusion.

I love your secret room great poetry deserving a five

You know Richard - I love to read stuff like this. I feel less lonely. I know this place you are talking about because I am frequent visitor to it. I love it: When I’m there the clock is gone I am the singer of my songs my senses run on high no-one to tell me lies Thanks for sharing these innermost thoughts which makes a person less alone by just identifying with them. Your friend ... Leonard

You know you are a true poet when you can make a guy say: I have been there or I have felt like that. Leonard

How dare you intrude in my quiet place, how did you find out I told no one? I know this place well indeed. What an awesome write. Your the man!! thanks, Eddie

Richard this is very.... Touching...stiring...I've been sitting in that room quite abit of late, very well writen, I've left some change for the electric, for when you next go there.......very best regards..... Peter ~~~"I am not afraid of tomorrow, for I have seen yesterday, and I love today."~~~

I like this side of you. This is beautiful. I still have an imaginary house I go to, and everything there is just the way I want it to be.

Unfortunately, the only magic rooms we have in our apartment where I can be truly alone is the bathroom. And even it doesn't lock! (there's a lock on it, but the other side has a slot for a screwdriver... so it's really to give you a sense of false security) There's no more room in my brain for a mental secret room. I'm glad you have managed to make space for yours. Keep that locked up well, ya hear? ~Jess K. ---------------------------------------------------- - "Everyone needs to believe in something.

depth listen to the sound in silences the vast space and closeness of there (Great poem Richard)

I used to dream about the house i grew up in. There was always a secret room only I could find. The last time I had a dream like that, the room was on fire. It was very sad. Anyhow, I like this, we all need a personal retreat within us that remains virgin to the rest of the world.

Excellent. I think in each of us we have that secret place we go when everything gets too intense. A retreat where no one or nothing can hurt us. A secure hide away where all is right. Well written and expressed my friend! Respectfully, Rett: "If a fool and his money are soon parted, what does that say about the government bailout?" Rett

lemme in!! sounds like just where i need to go... follow your words inside N

Hi Richard, I actually read this back then and meant to tell you how much I like it. There are too many good lines to pick, but I guess "I am the singer of my songs" is my favorite. The last two lines are sweet and powerful at the same time. I like the way only they rhyme. That gives it a punch. Dee

Actually, there's quite a lot of rhyming going on. I find new stuff every time I read it. And it just gets better, your little room. D.
