sixteezkid, when I read your poetry, it is so very hard for me to believe that last September or so was your first attempt at writing. You write with so much emotion, so much passion and so much elegance. This poem clearly demonstrates all the above..well done..jlsavell

    This is about the best review one can receive. I didn't know I could write a word just a few months ago. And thanks to this forum, and from so many wonderful people who have helped me learn, I've found that I can just 'let it rip' and try to write as honestly as I can. An amazing feeling. Would be worthless without a reader, though. Your compliments go straight to my heart. Thank you so much. With my warmest regards, Sue

Another masterpiece from you Sue. This is a sad story really but there are a lot of lonely souls in this world. I am just glad I'm not one of them. :) I don't think my children would ever allow me to be a lonely old man.

Somehow I don't think you are writing this from experience Sue? :)

    Then you are one of the richest men in the world.... To know your children would always be there for you, is what life is all about. So happy for you. Your compliments on this poem are so much appreciated. With my warmest regards, Sue

I enjoyed your rhymed quatrains and the theme that in order to know life, you need to feel, even if to feel means disappointment or loss of love. Better to feel than to be numb.

    Fayesh, yes, sometimes with over-stresses in life, we can go in a numb mode. Not where any of us want to be. Thanks so much for your close read and very generous review. With regards, Sue

A good short read with this poem. I particularly liked the last line - I thought this quite powerful and it brought understanding to me of the meaning in your words to this point:

Break my heart to let me know
There's something left to feel

    Yes, we humans need to have our sensory system working in some capacity. To feel numb is the worst. Thank you so much for your great review. With regards, Sue

Wow, I love this poem. You depicted the emotion of lost love just right, not overspill. I especially like the ending,"Soften up this calloused soul
Before it turns to steel
Break my heart to let me know
There's something left to feel "
Great work.-Diana

Hi Sue...this is a wonderful poem. I'll bet many people have felt just like this poem outlines. I live alone but never feel alone and I know I am lucky in that respect. I feel the pathos and pain inside the lines of this poem. You did an excellent job of writing this....blessings....chey

I feel the sorrow in this poem. Sometimes life brings us to that point and we want to feel alive again. "Color me with laughter's song" is a wonderful way to start feeling again. Great job on those feeling words in this poem. V.A.
