Chance And Change Comments

Beautiful. Reads very smoothly. I enjoyed all the rhymes within the lines with the ending words.

Your accomplished writing belies the impression created by your biographical information that you cannot write poetry - a very wise observation beautifully presented! Kind regards, Margaret.

I could hedge around this one all day, because knowing what the heart wants is a truly tricky business. Sometimes you have to cross the threshold to discover it, and often the result is a shocking surprise. But for those who know where their heart lies, or who are enduring this kind of situation, this very finely crafted poem offers the soundest advice. xx jim

Somewhere, I once read that 'the more things change, the more they stay the same.' And truth be told, we settle for the boredom of what we know, and long for the unknown (or faintly remembered!) We long for love that was, and settle for the love that is (forgetting that the two are one and the same, only different.) Well written, Little Spirit.

Straight from the page to my heart - you got me! Hugs Anna xxx

RE: Your reworkings. They're definitely working! More complex, with internal rhymes and nice flow to this piece. -chuck
