JoelJosol Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Rea, that's a nice nursery rhyme like short verse. I just didn't get why the 'you' needs to be a pot of gold.

Hello Joel It's a metaphor/tribute, to those who write beautiful poetry/and retain self. Best wishes Rea Hello Joel I am not so sure I want to defend a poem, I posted, you referred to as a, Nursery Rhyme! I wrote the poem as a tribute for one of the members here, who edited one of my poems. I am just getting to know the workings of the Forum, and I have not commented on many poems, but will do now, unsure, if you had to be a trained critic.

dr_con Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Rea, Very enjoyable! No worries- we all step on each others toes here every-once in awhile- But it passes quickly, and (at least in my experience) Is either a misinterpretation or a simple misstep out of wanting the best for the poet. It was a lovely short poem- enjoyed! DC&J Quote thegateless.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
