A very good take on the art of poetry writing. You have summed it up in easy to relate to terms. Simple, sweet and enjoyable.

Keeping yourself at a peak of your own is an endearing trait in you Mr Anderson. Your poetry is bereft of any tools abused otherwise. Keep writing sir and if possible share your reminiscences of the disillusioned world between 1939 and 1945 as well. Thanks a lot...

So good, so true Joseph; I'm a big fan of The Hag, have been for at least 35 years! Simply a wonderful poetic tribute to such a great poet, from such a great poet. Your words move me.

Completely agree with you. Let us express our ideas clearly with some good images inside and I like if possible to make it rhyme as well. Perhaps the more difficult part for myself is the rhyme. Your rhymes are very well chosen. I like this poem very much Excellent

Although at times I write a bit obscure a direct message always sits much truer and finds a chord with every viewer, it does not always have the rhyme but doesn't hurt if creative and fine and if not writing for the critics blind, but for the joy of conveying beauty and understanding to the mind.

Your muse serves you well Joseph, your poetry is wonderful and not just for the common man but for all. Very well penned. If you haven't already, you may like to read mine entitled ....... On Poetry, similar sentiment.
