I should point out that I stole this link and the last one from janni, whom I do not know, but it looks like she is very neat! And she writes kids' books. Woot.

That's really lovely.

That was a great poem. Thanks for sharing.

That is a good one.

Poetry often is (even if some ballads I used to love as teenager are the opposite - and that was the reason I loved them. Or may-be not, even them) a balancing act of providing vessels for emotions the readers have.

Also, the only fault with communication in English is that I never can do tit-for-tat in case of poetry sharing, as the poems I love are in wrong language for that.
