The Mad Poet Strikes Again

my favorite lines are: I hope at the end of the day The world looks back and judges me Not by how much I accomplished But by how much I cared There is heart and soul in these lines. Always, Cat

Well written and lovely flow...you're more than a small ripple here on Neo my friend, and write some great stuff, so you do, do great things. Rosina xena465

I do my writing in the garden shed - alias where my husband and I work populating printed circuit boards - it's a mind numbing job but it pays and I have the luxury of having my computer on the desk so if I get any ideas I can type them down. I agree with Cat, there is heart and soul in this poem, I really liked it. Keep it up! Love Mand xx

Honesty speaks through your poem Hobo..it surely is a sign of you prosperous mind...i loved to read your write... its good to see a couple of them in spotlight...deservedly... raj..(sublime_ocean)...

A little ripple.Best I read today and worth nomination for content alone......scribbler

and superbly penned, I might add! A genuine look into the soul of a poet who isn't taking anything for granted! Bravo!

Sometimes a big fish in a small pond, sometimes a small fish... In either case, your last two lines exemplify the art of living poetry. ~ "Just as what you dream is your own and no one else can observe it, so the world you see is your own." ~ Nisargadatta

//The world looks back and judges me Not by how much I accomplished But by how much I cared// Who are we to judge? What power ordains us? To do so You are a master of thyself, Do as you wish to do so Preside over your destiny And Take charge of all good And Bad, as you yourself Are wont to

a well deserved Spotlight, Hobo. I do enjoy sitting back with a ice-cold can of Pepsi and examining how I've influenced my little world. Little ripples always suffice, despite my hopes of grandeur. I would like to suggest implementing perhaps proper capitalization or even a touch of punctuation, for smoother flow and easier scanning. Example: I think, "The mad poet strikes again In my little cave Where I am free From the bill collectors I sit with pen in hand And my trusty soda by my side" would read much better as 'The mad poet strikes again In my little cave where I am free from the bill collectors I sit with pen in hand and my trusty soda by my side' or 'The mad poet strikes again! In my little cave-- Where I am free From the bill collectors, I sit with pen in hand And my trusty soda by my side.' Just my humble ideas of course! I enjoyed the reflective nature of this poem and simplicity and brevity behind your little epiphany! Kelsey

My favourite lines are the same as Cat's I hope at the end of the day The world looks back and judges me Not by how much I accomplished But by how much I cared I sentimentally would like to think thats how I will be remembered beautifully put love and hugs Jayne-Chloe x x x ("Quote:-For every beauty there is an eye somewhere to see it.
