"HIGH PRAISE"

My praise, perhaps overdone.
But your words, your words!
They touch me in ways you can't imagine.

The level you have achieved
By writing your words
Is a slippery slope I can't master.

My Muse and my pen stutter.
Sometimes, I'm brilliant.
Other times, I should be thrown away.

Allow me the indulgence
To drown in your words
To be covered with something beautiful.

When the wolves howl at your door
Only then you'll wish
You hadn't bitten the hand that fed you.

(C) Copy written, 12 November, 2004, by Karla Dorman.

Never downgrade your work, Karla. You get better with each
new piece, and that should be the goal of all of us here in
the Den.
This one is definitely a fine work of art, both pic and poem.

(((Karla)))

You write in a way that makes us think and appreciate life. Don't ever lay down your pen; that would be a tragic day indeed! Keep on sharing your gifts with us; you are a poet laureate in my eyes!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your twin, Karen Lynn. :D

Beautiful, heartfelt write! Well done! BRAVA!

heh, I think every writer is their own worst critic and always sees someone else work and says, WHY! WHY! Why didn't I think of that? Or, geez, why can't I write like that!? But it really all comes down to each writer having their own style and that is what makes each of their own pieces precious..it comes from THEM
so glad to see you still writing

Okay try this again. I find nothing wrong with the way you write. I get befuddled sometimes myself. Always a joy.
