I Wish I Could

Okay. . .there is a lot to be said in this exceptionally short piece.  And while others may not grasp its concept it does deserve a standing ovation.  Loved it, JVP!. . .Devlin:)

Thanks for stopping by, and the supportive, kind words.  I was trying to revise the poem "Nobody Knows" into a more standard format, and wasn't making much progress, and wrote this piece out of frustration.

There's no law that says poetry must be long and must rhyme. This is a very good example of how profound a short poem can be. Thoroughly enjoyed it!

I so glad you enjoyed it.

Ditto FindingZoe...
Always enjoy reading you jvp... :)

Hi KateA.  Glad you stopped by.

Oh well, poetry is in the eyes of the beholder :-).
So in my view what you write is definitely poetry.

I was supposed to go to my first writer's meeting yesterday, but went to visit my son, and lost track of the time.  But these comments help give me the courage to attend a future meeting.

You seemed to find it quite important to be with your son. There's always tomorrow for a writer's meeting. Oh well, mostly ...

Your poem has great fluidity.  With each line it presents itself as a growing mind really liked it.

I'm glad you enjoyed it.  I wrote it quickly, out of frustration of trying to revise a different poem (Nobody Knows).
