What is a paradox?
they travel in some phlox
then stand upon a stage
while all the world’s a-rage,
then stare right out at you
singing quite in tune,
AFLAC, AFLAC,
the two of them on track.

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

You should never feel ignored. I read all your poems and appreciate the comments you make on mine. As of late my internet time is limited so I can only post just so much. But I am reading everything and your poetry is always enjoyed. *HuGs*

Everyone, the "ignored" feeling stems from when I was planting zeroes on the board and almost every one else, fortunate enough to have a job, was at work. So the few here, were not responding at the time. So my zeroes just drifted down the board. One poetry board I went to once let you know if your poetry had been viewed. Of course, with my self-esteem level, that might be worse.  If I saw 20 views and not comments, that little voice in my head would probably say, "They hated it!" Please ignore the 'ignored' remark.

Silly me, why don't I just edit it out.
