My Way

I'm gonna say

in a way

I want to say

what I want to say

doesn't matter anyway

I recommend

you send

comments, appreciate

they are great

they inspire me to go on

but maybe for non

as in no change

no rearrange

just appreciate you read it

took time to edit

whether it happens or not

it is not for naught

cuz it encourages me to go on

and yet more poems are born

they may not be completely to your liking

but may be stole along the way by a viking

whatever the drill

it is a thrill

to share with you

and hear from you too

so keep responses coming

they keep my mind humming

new tunes and sounds and words in my head

I promise to write ever more before I end up dead

Author's Notes/Comments: 

a response to critiques, comments...what I want from them what I get are two different things sometimes, but rarely...just looking for encouragement to get riskier and take more chances and see where they lead...my creative need...thanks to all who are there reading this and leaving comments...I appreciate your comments as much as you appreciate reading this and I appreciate your time to read and comment as much as you appreciate mine to write and ask for comments and treasure yours...I love to know I touched somebody in someway that touched their soul or emotions or mind or whatever...in some way made a difference in their life and hope for the best always....pam

I enjoyed this poem..as well as many others that you've written. I even enjoyed your comment lol. I like getting crits and comments because I love knowing that I affected someone or helped someone..or even just that they enjoyed it enough to take the time to leave me a lil note :) I got your thing from stab and I thought I'd stop by and read a few..and i couldn't help but leave a lil note just to let you know yer an amazing writer..
