They come They go Some fast Some slow.. Some frown Some smile Some stay Awhile But, in the end I always know It's all pretend They come They go. Perhaps Some day I'll find A way To make them feel They want to stay But it has never Happened so I'm not that clever They come They go. They come They go Ducks in A row Each takes a part Of shattered heart They leave as friend Or sometimes foe But, in the end, They come They go... |

  (sad sigh) Oh Michael, this is a sad but true kind of game that happens with so many peoples hearts, sweet friend, but in this game where there will be many ducks that may not be true to our hearts, there will always be that goose that will forever remain with a lover to eternity! (big hugggsssss) I hope you have found this kind of love, sweet friend, you deserve it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Michael, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

There's always duck tape! I always enjoy the upbeat and easy going style of your work. Another keeper. ThisDiamond |

Hope I'm not laughing at your expense, Michael...but I'm laughing just the same. Though, it has been my unfortunate experience that the ones who stay...are usually the ones I wish would go! |

Perhaps Some day I'll find A way To make them feel They want to stay I console myself with knowing whose loss it is. I liked this. |

This is a bit different than your normal verse, but exceptionally done! I enjoyed it. It reads like a poetic shrug (what can you do?). |

’Deer dearest heart OH my this is just too perfect, I love it, this a different and superb piece of writing from you. The flow as always absolutely perfect. Others may drift in and out Moving restlessly full of doubt They come and then they go Eternally drifting ebb and flow They might have been and gone But they are shiftless moving on I’m not into moonlit flits I not one of those flighty bits Butterflies flit without a care Stopping never anywhere Wings always moving ever on Here a moment then they’re gone I’m not a butterfly I like to stay For longer than a single day I want a place where I can remain Someone to return to yet again Marsha Forgive me ‘Deer I couldn’t resist this really is exceptional writing Krissy darling daughter there’s another 2 points to me, you might be younger darling but I’m still winning    Love and warm stuff As always Mushy To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace Luke 2:79 |

Oh you sweet Deer you let them go By now I gathered you should know before you'll find the right one though you have to let some come and go Titia A rose is a rose is a rose...I guess... |

I really like this style from you, and of course the flow, message and rhyme is perfect! And ain't it the truth...those exotic men in thongs never stay when I want them too either! Hmpf, that's it, I'm becoming a nun!  Take care patootie guy, Melissa~ "Poetry is not an opinion expressed... |

They come They go Yet even so We learn to live We learn to give They touch our heart Right from the start And footprint there Though unaware They come They go They come They go And whose to know When one fine day Fate interplays And they're the one Our gleaming sun They come They stay ...inspiring Balladeer |

I love PDV's description... a poetic shrug. *S* Only I suspect the shoulders doing the shrugging are sore... so that every shrug hurts. *S* But some moments with some people are worth the emptiness that comes when they go. *S* This is magnificent, Deer One... |
