Most of poetry rhymes. I have heard others say that thyming peotry is the east way out. Free verse is the easist there is.
Rhyming can be devilishly hard. people who say it is easy or the ones that can't do it. They are lack-witted dolts if you ask me.
Good work here. Karen

You cannot be an average poet when you write
'warming frosty fingers
so my muse may thaw'
I loved this poem because The sentiments echoes in most of our minds. I am sure you will progress and we will be there to cheer you !

    I agree. We all see ourselves as average poets or writers.
    We all progress at our speed.
    Thanks for the marvelous review.
    And thanks for cheering me on!

What!? Nothing is average about your skill, Jesse. Your determination and passion for life match your love for writing! This is perfectly rhymed, and I was tapping my toes at the flawless meter...

I feel light as a feather after reading this! More please!

:)

    Hello Karenina.
    I am average, compared to others who draw crowds and write to get published. I thank you kindly for the six stars and encouraging review. You know I love to rhyme. This poem is a personal favorite of mine.
    I love that you feel light as a feather! I will write as the muse strikes me in my heart and soul! I appreciate your kind words.
    Thanks for your friendship, it will last until the end of time.
    Take good care of yourself, my dear friend.
    Jesse
    By the way, keep tapping your feet to the rhythm in your head.

    You do not realize it, but I had the pleasure of reading your poem to friends and family today...

    It's unanimous! We all loved your poem and now if you've felt slight tremors on the west coast it was us!

    Toe tapping!

All aspiring writers can identify with your lovely autobiographical poem.
Your rhyme flows. And your unique poem shines.
Good luck with this one, Jesse.

    Thank you, Cindy, for this encouraging review. Writers usually know where I have been. When the muse flows it is wonderful.

Warming frosty fingers

I like the metaphor. It is very original. It does often feel as if the muse has to be prised out of ice. Oh, I am two characters short.

Sorry I've been away from the site for so long. I've been working diligently on my current projects - one is a Memoir, and one is a novel - but I think I will 'test drive' chapters of the projects here - but I need to do a lot of reviewing to get the $$$ to post them and expect any reviews.

I love this simple little rhyme. But I'm not entirely sure you are just an average poet - your poetry reads well, and reflects the thoughts put in,

This is the journey of continuous improvement in every venture, the journey of a poet. The poem resonates with me. Looking back to where I was at the time I joined this group, I see some comparable improvement, though still far from my target destination. Every bit of the poem was enjoyable and kept me smiling through out. Well done, dear Jesse.

What a wonderful driving poem. I resemble this poem. I also resonate with it. I definitely thought I was better when I got to this platform 10 years ago then I believe I am today. I do know, like you, I have improved. But if you look through my portfolio, you won't see a lot of first place anything and you won't see me as a professional writer. I loved your poem.

This one put a smile on my face! We're all just average poets who now and then might show extraordinary creativity. I actually surprise myself when my muse decides to cooperate. Thanks for sharing what we all feel.
