Maybe you should put your poems in an e-book and send your nearest and dearest the link so that when you have gone they will know you better through your words - your poetry. Also - I hope you will write a few more to add to your forty.

With that in mind, perhaps the reason you enjoyed the second and fourth examples has to do with rhythm and rhyme.rhymeswithplaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10870439618129001633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2286321024842109960.post-74273169336702426422020-10-19T20:24:49.808-04:002020-10-19T20:24:49.808-04:00I enjoyed your poems!

I enjoyed the happiness and lightness in the first poem and the rhyme pattern and feeling in the second poem. The third poem makes me wonder what poet/writer you were talking about, and the final one is a very touching and gentle poem. <br /><br />I have written quite a lot of poetry since my teenage years and I still do occasionally. I rarely show my poetry to anyone though as it tends to be very personal. There is a special satisfaction and release in writing poetry in my opinion.

So I appreciate, to a small extent, what is involved mentally in wishing to create a poem. "Why?" I used to ask. I never received an answer. I'm not fit to judge your poems but, notwithstanding that, I can offer the view that I appreciated and enjoyed both the second and the last poems. I wondered why those two more than the other two. Then I noticed that their structure was different. Could it be that? I'm not sure. Perhaps I shall return later and see if my view has changed.
