HERO

Thank you for submitting your poem to my competition, javalini. I enjoyed reading this.

Thank you for the great comp.
Happy you enjoyed the poem.

You always capture emotion in such a heartfelt beautifully amazing way.... it's fresh, impactful and searing.... It's no surprise, as I've said before that your poetic voice is a total favorite, but I've missed seeing you and reading your poems.... so I thought I'd remind you of just how much I do enjoy them.... and you

Thank you and good luck in the comp.
Warmest regards,
🌹

Thank you so much, Blue.
You're always encouraging.
I've been missing your poetry lately, too.
I'll look for it.
Thank you again.

Dear J,

Perfect. Just perfect. Reminded me of a teacher I had long ago. Generous and giving. I’ve tried to emulate that. Not as successfully but I’ll keep trying until I get right. 😉
I wish you all the best in this comp. Lovely piece.  H🌷

Thank you, Honoria. Your comments always brighten my days.  
I was thinking of the literary heroes of my youth -- how deeply they touched me -- how personal it felt -- and how odd it seemed they touched so many others. It was as though they belonged to just me.
Thank you again for your comments.
Truly appreciated.

Echoing all of the above. You are a gift to so many, especially me. Your verse is consistently of a high order. I think of that marvelous Beatles’ line: “Changing my life with a wave of her hand….” You do that.

Ty, my much younger brother. Rock on!

Thanks so much, my friend.  I've been perusing and enjoying your poetry as well.  Thank you for your kind comments.
