Howard, this is what poetry is all about. The freedom to write brutally honest poetry without any fear. I invite you and fellow poets to read Ode To Orlando. How one act of irresponsibility led to some very severe consequences. And the end result!

Great open and honest poem, Howard. Reflecting on one's life holds many thoughts to be written into poems, showing us the path we have taken to maturity and growth.

An apt title, a self analytical poem that ends with a positive note in the end. Simply wonderful! 'I take responsibility for my life today Irresponsibility will never again hold sway' - This firm resolve will inspire many to undertake similar resolute decisions in life. An honest and inspirational poem.
