Yes, Thank-you for waiting for me. Yes, I did enjoy the story, but had to confess, there were many names, and details as Morgan mentioned last week. (Slightly too detail oriented for my taste), but again it showed pride in his son, the kids.
I think my problem is OCD!
OCD? My problem is that my taste is oldfashioned.I think my problem is OCD!
Did a quick search... Ebbets Field was the home of the Brooklyn Dodgers until the late 50s, then it was demolished and is now apartment buildings!
I still need to learn about the different types of poetry.
I liked the poem because it reminds me of everything about the day he is recalling. Sometimes those memories are 'messy' and can't be stated within certain constraints.
Like things to have order, do ya?I think my problem is OCD!
Nothing wrong with that, taste is subjective Luv.
Order AND rhyme!Like things to have order, do ya?
Why? Must everything be in perfect order?I think my problem is OCD!
I'm with you!!Order AND rhyme!

If we're talking poetry it can be very different but the verses should have a rhymingorder to the the poem a rhytm. or it could be like a Haiku. As Ben Hanscom put. 17 syllables, one image connected to one emotion and you're home.
That doesn't bother me at all, lovey!
Our time is slipping away. Let's discuss the Beggar and the Diamond. I think it is a kind parable, what are your thoughts?
Heck No. I embrace our differences.

So how about Sai King's version of the parable? What did you all think of that?
If I remember correctly, a Haiku should reflect something from nature, such as a season or an animal
I love Kings poetry. I bought Devils wine. just to read his work in it.
