This whimsical poem captures a quirky cocktail hour commitment, blending playful language and charming imagery, from hammering nails to the moon as a silver dollar.

Amazing drop. A poet has many eyes through which he can see different aspects of life- in and out. A poem that shows the poets analytical mind. Great job. 'My eyes will drive home, one by one, a volley of wooden stakes. I will be a lone white poodle.'... is touching. Congrats.

I will grow smaller as the evening wears on, until I disappear out on the balcony, where stars, I hear, are strewn for the take like shimmering diamonds on blue velvet, - - - -It is not the crowd who wear a mask of artificiality but the stars strewn across a night sky hold the interest of poet. A unique poem.Congratulations for being selected as the Poet of the Day.

And I would be right up there on that balcony with you, gathering stars, because, like young Alessia Cara, I don't enjoy playing society's games, either. The soul screams for a chance to be authentic! (Alessia Cara, in her stance on individualism, was the topic/inspiration for my poem No Dime A Dozen. She is an amazing young recording artist who won't let the recording industry shove her into its mold.) Thnoughts, not idle cocktail chatter, possess a strange attractive power. Well done.

I had not heard of Alessia Cara before, so I hopped on Youtube and listened to one of her songs ~ How Far I'll Go. What a giant little singer! I love her voice! And now having read your poem ~ No Dime A Dozen ~ I see that you've done her great justice. It speaks highly of you. Well done to you as well! :)
