    1. Definitely and thank you! The author is happy for the poem to be shared. Please make note of it if only part of it is there.

  1. I love to read, and to write, poetry. Thank you for this post! Says it all in so few words!

    Apropos, having found myself ensconced, once again, in a “Free Speech Zone”, I share this real-life anecdote. Once or twice, I submitted “poetic” comments to a website (Veterans Today). A “senior editor” took immediate exception. He sternly informed me that VT’s “comment board” was for serious contributions, not self-aggrandizing, publicity-seeking, would-be poets! Any more poetry and I would be banned!

    And, so it goes! May your blog remain free and clear, Monika!!
