Joshy, I liked your profile. Glib and well thought out. Can I read the draft. lol Sounds like a winner of an idea. Here's to being an author and not a writer. From a writer, who would also like being an author.

I'm in total agreement with you joshyfox...can't fix what you don't know is broken. All constructive criticism is welcomed and appreciated. Go for it guys.

Good morning...I love librarys. First thing I do when I move somewhere new is to get my library card. Reading is something I love and the smell of a library( all those books) gives me the warm fuzzy feeling. lol

previous message I posted should have this quote

ok. no smile and not a closeup but the location makes the photo interesting. I want to know more...

You shouldn't judge a book by it's cover. That statement is true, but it is the cover that will make someone curious about opening the book and discovering what is inside. The same thing applies to a photo of a person. Do they look like they are friendly, approachable,and someone you would like to know. This has nothing to do with whether or not you are beautiful on the outside. The right photo offers up a glimpse of the beauty on the inside.

I always love to see a closeup of a smile where I can also see someone's eyes. It is easy to tell if the smile is real and comes from within, or if it is posed.

I am listening to the front porch soul band "Mofro". listen and you will be addicted too.

Txsgal333 thank you so much for showing your appreciation for my lyrical poemmm. Mswizard, great minds indeed. your poem gave me goosebumps...love your style.

I enjoyed reading your poem. people who can't find anything nice to say are probably people who lack the ability to understand what you wrote. I did and thank you. Would love it if you read and commented on my entries. Have an awesome day!

Better than the box of chocolate and movie, does not mean you should leave them home. And how did you know dark chocolate was my favorite? I look forward to reading more of your poetry.

ahh, what a way to drift easily into a romantic mood. You have a way with words and the picture you paint with them is better than a box of chocolates and watching a chic flick on TV. LOL

Everyone has had moments when they have felt alone and uncertain about their future. I wrote this poem when I was at a similiar crossroad in my life. Believe in yourself, find something you are passionate about, and let go of the past and plan for your future. Most of all surround yourself with people who are achievers this will motivate you. Love means many things. It could mean the Love of God,but whatever it means to you let it give you the strength you need to become whoever it is you want to be. If you dream it, and believe it, you CAN make it happen.

Let Love Set You Free

Now is the time to start believing
there’s a reason for what you’re going through.
Don’t go on vacation from what you’re feeling
Let yourself know what’s inside of you.
Do you know your eyes are a mirror.
They reflect the truth of the real youA
And don’t you know they show what’s in you.
They project the love that’s guiding you.

Keep on living… don’t stop.
Keep on feeling… don’t stop.
You’re just about to happen
You’re almost ready to be
I can feel it stirring in you
Let love set you free

I know it’s hard to continue when you need rest
So you hide behind a mask of humor
Keep them laughing and they’ll never guess
That you’re worried by your unknown future
And what will you do with what your feeling
Haven’t you paid all of your dues
You ache and you feel like quitting
You can’t seem to shake the inside blues.

Keep on living… don’t stop.
Keep on feeling… don’t stop.
You’re just about to happen
You’re almost ready to be
I can feel it stirring in you
Let love set you free

When you’ve had your own realization
And accept that this all has to be
Then you’ll know love without reservation
The inside blues will leave and you’ll be free.
With you I share this information
Accepting love is all that we need
To love is the purest emotion
We are one and as one we are freed

Keep on living… don’t stop
Keep on feeling… don’t stop
You’re just about to happen
You’re almost ready to be
I can feel it stirring in you
Let love set you free.

Thanks to everyone who replied to my post. Its ok to tell me poem was lame, or you didn't understand it. I want and welcome the feedback. It will help me grow as a writer. All reviews are wanted as long as it is constructive. I love the car too. And I think lady bikers are the bomb. I don't have the nerve to ride.

just wondering why so many people read, but do not comment on what they read.

I am thankful for having found this site where I can be in a community with other poets. You are quite talented.

Did you get that I loved your poem. Beautifully written. I look forward to reading more.

I like you, just posted my first poem today. Keep writing I liked the way it flowed. Felt your pain.

I enjoy writing poetry. This is the second one I am posting on this site. Thanks for any feedback. Helps make me a better poet.

It's eight o'clock in the morning
A new day has just begun
messages exchanged between us
though sad and sensitive were fun

Today we talked of troubles
that are weighing heavy onyour mind
my heart is yearning to comfort you
and trust keeps building with time

Just because we have not touched
doesn't make you less special to me
In you I've found that person
I'd be blessed to love eternally

Yet I feel something is missing
I want so much to feel your touch
To lie peacefully beside you
In silence sharing so much.

Yes it's the morning of a new day
Lives together but apart
But whether or not we're together
We are one inside our hearts
