Wow simply awesome. I enjoyed reading your wonderful poetry. You are a great poet
You are far from semi literate as your bio suggests. Your words are profound and beautiful. I just love Thomas A Robinson too: -)

This is a true eyeopener of the critical times in which we live. God help us to return to the beaten path. Thanks Joseph..
Yes, Times have changed! Every where people live in the clutch of fear and uncertainity! Man turns against man and Nature takes her toll! We look forward to more poems from you, Sir! I am sorry my poem Cancer ward has disturbed you! I sincerely wish you health and happiness!
Your writing continues to impress, and inspire! Write-on my friend, your words ring ever true.
Great poem Joseph. We too, here in England (& Europe in general) , are governed by teams in full discord.
Wonderful sonnet Joseph - great theme and very well written. Brilliant! ! Definitely a 10/10.
Powerful piece of work.
