One of the first obstacles a writer has to get past is being brave enough to share. We can't please everyone. Great voice here. Love and Hugs,

this is the poet’s curse

to be forever seeking, yet never unearthing, entire treasure of identity

Quite powerful, La Belle, and Happy Birthday to you.

"to be what he is and what he is not
before those who know him not
and what he is not
to those who think they do"....This said it for me! Indeed, we're misunderstood alot, scrutinized and criticized, yet we only strive to touch lives with wisdom and beauty....Wonderful!!

To touch others so deeply with words like you is a gift and a curse. To those of us who enjoy your poems--the adventures, the Colonel and his lady, your earthy poems that speak volumes of human nature as no one else can. We are blessed to have you among us. Thank you for sharing your priceless musings. Excellent. Liz

A well used and stained old table, a candle, a creaking chair, and the hand of the poet writing words in a piece of paper like black tears.
The poem told us just now that baring one's soul is not a choice.
Perfect poem on a perfect return.

It's the cyber world, the New Age heartbreaks displayed announced by Google contrary to Hallmark for all curiosity seekers and gossipmongers for the sake of amusement what they think they know not...The Poet's Curse writes its revealing way into our hearts, Belle, and don't think for one minute, I don't cherish you and all you are about in these three senses, a friend, a respected writer of a cornucopia of genres, and a woman of intellect...it's good to be in your company always...from my quill to yours, La Belle Rouge...
