This was an eye opener for me!

Your poem says so much and brings to mind numerous times like I felt that what I gave was not received with the "pricelessness" with which I'd given it. This is a beautiful insight.

Interest (Poetry) - 7/4/2006 12:30:09 AM
Hi Arthur
Thank you for visiting my little part of Authors Den :) I saw all your poems listed here and thought 'wow, fancy writing all those poems! I must say when I opened some of them and read them I was highly amused and a little bemused. I liken your poems to a little book of motivational sayings that I have, rather than poems. I don't like poetry much at all actually as I don't seem to have the brain to understand it or appreciate it. Your 'poems' though I can understand and appreciate ... nothing like a two liner to get the punch in :) You must have found my work laborious to read in comparison. I can never just write a few words that say it all, I have to elaborate, build a story, set the scene - all of the above.
Anyhow, it was nice to visit in here and see something different. I love Authors Den but spend little time in here really as I work full-time in an office and hometime is usually 'I don't feel like doing anything I should do so I think I'll do nothing.'
Your poems, some of them, made me giggle and that's a good thing. Thank you.

All were hacked down!

I am well aquainted with this horrid land and never wish to return.
