You are exceptionally gifted to have started in November and have progressed to write such wonderful works of the pen. You should be very pleased and proud. I admire your discipline and talent to stay within a structural form yet write so freely. Very impressive.
I enjoy reading your work and I am glad you stuck around.

    Stevel, the desire to write has always been there, but I could never have believed I would actually do it. Once I came here to FS, I have learned so much from everyone here. And a lot of study. Thank you for your great review and compliments. Sue

Thank you for explaining a rictameter. I am just learning about poetry and your explanation is appreciated. After reading your notes, I went back and read the poem again. Wonderfully written. The sentiment is excellent and well portrayed. Now if everyone just followed it. :)

Very well done!! I like 'exercising humanity' - this is the kind of workout we need most! And, you are so very right - this is extremely contagious. Yet, it only takes one little frown to stop its flow. Guess that's why we need so many reminders:). This was a great idea for a rictameter. Take care,
Heather

A little kindness does go a long way. If we could all do one thing for one other person, that would be interesting to see now wouldn't it? This poem just gives us a gentle reminder. Great job! :)

You state the truth, kindness spreads good will. Thank for the info on the rictameter, I wasn't aware of this form of poetry and it is great to learn about other forms of poetry.
