aspiring poet poor writer of senryus tankas and haikus add occasional free verse, toss in a sonnet overlook errors you will see a speck of me but nothing of who I am you see, I don’t share with just anyone, you see, who the real me is oh, sure, God knows me after all is said and done He’s the real I am Poet, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write. |

Coy to the end... Well done, Sir. But I would have to disagree with one little statement within your verse. And you know which one! |

"aspiring poet" ~ I think you are well past the "aspiring" part! ~ and you are a Doctor of Love! ~ and Love makes the world go 'round and that puts a Big Smiley Face on the 'I Am'! EA |

Ah yes... ....and they shall say unto me, what is his name? what shall I say unto them? And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM... The immensity of "I AM" knows no boundary. To say "i am" has little meaning. lucky dale . |

oh, sure, God knows me after all is said and done He’s the real I am and you are part of Him! Wow, our concluding lines convey the same truth, I see. Enjoyed your poem, but I disagree too like our friends above when you say you are an "aspiring" poet ... you ARE a poet and that's it. Love, Margherita |

"He's the real I am" - that's for sure! I've been gone so long, I don't know your work. However, I have a hunch you are being too modest. |

I love to write haiku's, they are very fun, and to talk about nature, I love it! Nicely put ARCTIC WIND |
