 Tease,

 makin' it good fun

 Laugh,
 
  giggle,
 
   cry,

 repeat until satisfied

Thanks Barry, I don’t

Thanks Barry, I don't always think of humor as my best side, so that is quite the compliment and I am pleased. I will look forward to reading more of your work too! Julie D.D.

Hi DD. This poem is really

Hi DD. This poem is really attractive to me. Like art work, a lot of it can be attractive but the audience doesn't necessarily understand it. I'm trying to practice reading poetry and understanding it. I was wondering if you could give me an explanation on your poem. P.S. this is not an insult on your poetry. I actually am really interested in your writing. This is a tool for me. Thanks A lot, Brian Lucky

Hi Brian, Glad you liked

Hi Brian, Glad you liked it, but I can't say I have any thing to impart with this one. I have been away from Neo alot latly. But this is the recipe for why I always come back. Hope that helps. I love questions, and rarely would take any offense. I have been known to be slightly offensive, in my attempt to convey honesty, but I think artists should be a little. LOL. Thanks for the read.

I agree wholhartedly.

I agree wholhartedly. Commenting is like raising kids though you have to use a gentle approach but honesty is key as I want to fnow what you really think. Thats why were here to grow as poets.To help each other grow.It not about putting any one down. Some people have very fragile egos . Its better to learn here, than to think unrealisticly about our need to improve.Barry ,,,o,,
