Alone
Alone within my mind I wile away the years trying to find a new poetic thought or style. Alone within my mind I wile and wonder if there’s any kind that stands the test of time or trial. Old masters of the craft designed the forms I use and might compile into a book or two. Resigned to facts that it might take a while alone within my mind. ·······  ·······When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

Hi Daniel,
I have found what you say to be true about a lot of the posts. One small item got to me after I had posted my 3rd piece on the site. I couldn’t view my poem until I had made at least two observations on posts of their choosing. Thank God there were two of those that were offered where I could make a non-committal generic answer. Perhaps it will get better when I find some groups that actually write “poetry” or decent prose. Larry ······· ·······When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations.
