Made me immediatly think of “Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.” –Mark Twain

Hee hee, yah, S. Thomas Summers, repetition sort of makes you *sniff,sniff* come across as a haughty taskmaster – but I love it! [I’ve done it on a number of occasions and felt really stupid when I realized what I’d done..:)

It’s okay. I tried to answer your email but the address was input wrong or something and then I had to go …

On the rhymes, I did write some non-rhyming when I was about 9 or so. I have to see if they are on this blog otherwise I can add them when I have a chance. I am not much a fan of writing without rhyme but will keep your suggestion in mind!

But if you feel compelled to tell
Me promises, don't talk.

That is my favorite part. Really heartfelt and emotionally honest work you are posting here.

I feel like I get to know you better and better each time I read one of your poems.

Again, you show your control over the language in your new poems here. I am actually with Mr Summers here. I would love to see what you would be capable of if you threw of the strictures of end rhyme. There are so many other ways to structure a poem and I think you definitely have the craftswomanship to write something in a different form. Plus, as Janet says, you have that talent for story-telling, too. I, for one, would look forward to the results

Kind regards,

Ario

You’ve had the depth of understanding structure of logic lines that make your poems flow effortlessly like a river to the sea, Anna. I truly enjoy reading your poems as you are indeed a wordsmith and storyteller in the best sense of the word.

I love this poem. I want to buy it from you..;>

hello,

perhaps try a poem that doesn't rhyme...a challenge of sorts.
