Could I write this better Do the words really shine Is my thought understood Will most think it is fine Does the title fit in Or did I miss a sign Might this be too foolish Have I picked the right time Oh the poet's dilemma Such a reason to pine We're battered in question Will the answers sound fine That's it for this writing I'm producing a wine One void of rich flavor It taste more like brine Could I write this better I'll ask God for each line [This message has been edited by thepoeticplumber (edited 12-16-2001).] |

We all can share this feeling with you for all of us wonder if our words are timed right and will be understood. I don't think there is a poet who will not feel the words of this poem. Very well said. **hugs**  Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |

Roger....I know how you feel and still get the jitters just before I post, wondering if I could have done better. But, you have written this very well. Perfect my friend. ~Hugs, Nancy~ "A dream is a wish your heart makes..." |

Thank you for the comments so far. I must admit that I was not sure whether to call this poem insightful or humorous. I guess that would depend on the mood of the reader. Writing is an amazing challenge, and I love it. Rog |

I'm with Roger on whether the poem was insightful or humorous, but anyhow, I though it was creative, and I often find myself feeling like this. I liked! Randy Meador a life lived unexplored is a life not worth living. |
