A beautifully thoughtful and accomplished poem, Jackie. Well-crafted and meticulous in it's message. A very nice contribution to the challenge and one that will most definitely endure. Bless you, and I am so thrilled you have enjoyed my travelogue poems! Thank you for reading, and I hope to break my ideas down a little and come back with more sometime. Kate xx

I loved your poem. May we all be so lucky that our thoughts and poems do linger on, and on, and on.

So choose our words, o' poets dear,
as careful as we'd want to hear;
then once our time on Earth is gone
our words should linger ever on.

Wise and worthy words, Micke. Well done! Thank you. Love and best wishes,

Regis

Micke, this is a thoughtful and skillfully written response
to Bobbi's Challenge. I like to think that all who write would
hope that the words they leave behind will not do harm but perhaps
add a little joy to some reader's life. -gene.

Your heart is stuck in every word and rhyme, as a poet, you're like some ancient wine, long lingering and easy on the palate, and I bet, just like you said, some smart knowing being will stash some bottles of you in some dark and hidden place, only to be tasted on rare occassions, and in celebration.
To my friend Micke! Hugs! Jasmin Horst
