Greetings, sir!

I'm curious to see how everyone responded to the Wrapped Refrain prompt, and this is an especially good example. You’ve counted your syllables nicely and conveyed a quietly wise set of thoughtful aphorisms. The lines flow well without any sort of strain or stilted feel. In fact, this has the simple charm of a poem I would have committed to memory at a younger age. I had a huge collection of memorized poetry ranging from the classical to the whimsical, which I carefully hand copied into notebooks. I now do that with song lyrics, or at least I used to before I ran out of time for such vapid frivolity…

I don’t have anything to recommend here, as is usually the case when I review poetry. If you cared to write this out yourself and hang it on the wall or give it as a gift, that would be nifty. Have you ever thought of joining that project where we exchange handwritten samples of our work? I can’t remember what it’s called… never gave it much thought in these digital days.

This was a pleasure to read. I’m happy I stopped by.

Take care, thanks for sharing, and keep writing *HeartT*
