Vallerie, don't let despair choose your words unless its what you're writing about! You could have re-titled this verse 'I've got this Site on Poetry right...' and not only been right, but rather forthright. Practise makes poetry perfect, lots. Poetry is hidden within the poet and moves into the poet's words - if you keep them simple without too much structure. Eg: rhyme, rhythm and metre are the poet’s meat and drink but some let structure defeat the expression of simple words. Keep on writing. Ivan
yes you do have a right and a very very great right(write) ..it flows very well with direct imagery and tells a story so very good, , , , blessings....Cecil
You've got EVERY right on this poetry site, Valerie, and you're doing fine as you are....I don't know what those things are either, ha ha. Great poem.. Love, Fran xx

been there girl......i hear yah well...English isn't my first tongue- its Filipino. I had my shares of doubts too about constructions...but i stick to one thing....of what my little heart feels and wishes to share. You're on the sam page. I hear your heart well. Take care. reinalie
My friend write what you feel, as you feel it....in whatever manner you chose....as poetry in fact is 'the window to the soul.' Excellent composition!
