They are all good, Jerry.
Rewrite the ones you think are bad..tweak the good ones...
A poet is hardly ever satisfied with their poems...

Thanks for the poem.:-)

You are an incredibly prolific writer/Poet, dear Jerry, I think your muse is very pleased with your amazing Opus. I too think that in every poem there is something precious, but no doubt there are those special ones that sound better than others to our ears. Yours and ours.

Anyway, congratulations for your achievements and thank you for sharing your precious creative work with us here.

All I can say to your kind remarks, Margherita is, "Who'd a thunk it!"

3000!!! Bloody hell, I’ve have only managed around a hundred and that’s taken a few years. I think we may have a Poet Laureate in our midst.

Eh Cari, I have been at this for quite a few years. I had a lot of things to write about, getting things straight with myself . . . I was energized you might say. Thank you for you super nice compliment.

I'm almost ready to take this off the board. To be honest I was surprised myself, Lori, at the amount of poems I have written. Surprised, but in my case not disbelieving. I sense that some think I am lying about the amount of poetry I have penned. I was intense when I first started writing poetry in 2002. It was all about trying to deal with those friggin' two lost decades of mine and other things, many other things. I truly believe that poetry saved my life, because I came close to chalking it up quite a few times. Well, it's a done deal. I wrote myself into feeling pretty good about myself, and I ain't done yet!

I liked all your poems I read and think your a nice gut too! 3000 is a lot of anything but that many poems means you really know how!

If I were more than I am, I'd see things differently instead of the same all the time.

Thanks DV, for your kind thoughts. I don't know if I "really know how," it just became an obsession for me, as I told Lori. Again, thank you.

You have said several times that poetry saved your life. I think that is such a wonderful thing, I really do and I commend you for it.

Then you go and erase your poem...geeeez.
