A harmonious blend of rhyme, meter, and free verse. It's breezy and full of wit and music. I will fave it.

Beautiful day here - I just got back from riding. It was a short ride, Blue seems to have forgotten his manners. Been lazing around in the barn too much, whatever. It was like riding a rodeo horse; he bolted when he saw deer and then he bolted when he heard a dog bark. But he couldn't make me fall off!! LMAO!

Oh geez... I guess somebody didn't want me to come back. Wonder who, woo-wee!

A very beautiful poem indeed, with much depth accompanied by poetic dexterity and technique. One of my rare 10's. Sorry some cretin gave you only 4 for this masterpiece.

Smiles and hugs, Rory - it means a lot to me that you enjoyed reading this piece. Ha, and I should have noticed...it seems everyone was whacked who dared post on the fourth of March! Shaking my head...
Thank you, my friend.

Life goes on and the pieces will be put back in place but the slipper will show the scar
of that night and the dance that was.

Thank you, Nelson; I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Like you, I have an itch, but I sometimes run short of "calm-a-line lotion". You absolutely made my day, Bro!

Purple bulbs flowering in the flowerbeds, I bet my Camilla tree is blooming in Ocean Shores! So brave, these early bloomers - we had ice on the truck windshield yesterday morning! Sunshine all day yesterday, though, and the temperature felt almost warm, lol. Here's hoping you and yours are all doing well... yes, we are fine (survived another winter, teehee). Peace and love, dear friend - Mary Ann

Love the word fluffiness - had enough of starchiness and seriousness. Looking forward to colorful flowering chiffon... thank you for saying this read soothing, my favorite thing!! All the very best of health and happiness to you, Phoebe. Do write on, Mary Ann

it's fascinating, isn't it, how some will rate a poem according to how they react to it emotionally?...if you nail us, baby, some of us will bite you back, because we do not like our backsides exposed for ouraleves to see so clearly...but not many react like that...most of us can/will/prefer to see the treasure that you are really, the pearl beyond price you be, and we respond to your marvelous poetry accordingly, with smiles and hugs and laughter and making lots and lots of nice.........................michael

"It's nice to be nice to the nice..." -Frank Burns, M*A*S*H

(ha, and who could ever forget)

-Frank Burns: "Funny thing, war: never have so many suffered so much so so few could be so happy." -Margaret: "We're lucky to be two of the few and not the many." -Frank Burns: "I know, darling, and I love being both of us."

Actually it was supposed to be about finding lots of strange Japanese debris still washing up on our shores, but who cares. My greatest enjoyment from posting poems here on gp comes from receiving illuminating comments - so, who am I to advise an anonymous rater what anything in print was about, lol!

Love and Peace, Michael; and miles of smiles, Mary Ann xoxoxo

(and the truth is stranger than fiction, as we both know.)

So good to see you and your poetry here, too, Ray! Another winter almost put to bed, eh? I am very doggone ready for spring... less rain and lots more sunshine. Thanks so much, my friend. Take care, Mary Ann

Aw, I'm so glad to hear you're melting, Markly... but then there's that primordial mud oozing into everything. But wait, all is not lost!! - I hear there's another one comin' cross country like a bat outta he**!
Or maybe it'll get sequestered in DC... Keep 'yer chin up, bud. Bear hugs, Lefty

I was just thinking about you,
sweet ray of sunshine...
hoping you're staying busy
feeling well and happy.
Oh what a beautiful morning!
Bless your heart, Mary Ann

Hmmm. Too deep for me Stevie. Grating, troubling flow to my ear with graceful metered passages broken up in an disconcerting way. Powerful devices, but I'm not having success trying to put it all together. I can't really rate it since it's going straight over my head.

Thank you for your wonderful, honest comment... I would have to say my thoughts were fairly scattered at the time. Perhaps the poem was a tangle of laments over many, many things. I truly appreciate your take on this. Peace, Mary Ann

Thanks, graciously taken. Sometimes when I comment I feel like i'm intruding in an intimate conversation between friends, but I'm taking the request for honest feedback literally. If I wasn't foolish, I will never become a poet.
