Toleration is must

Yes, the friendly one must embrace friendliness. It is smooth and carries the message with a free flow.

I hear you Lovedly, but sometimes people haven't time to comment on everything.
Don't read too much into it. Just wait for the future comments. Jx

at times, to not get the response you wanted or the feeling that anyone even cared about what you wrote about. Sometimes there were things that I wrote that I was sure was really special and hardly anyone commented or if they did, it was a lukewarm response. It happens still and will keep happening. There are times that I just don't feel like communicating with a bunch of people and just stay away from things until I feel better. If I am not here, I don't get to read what you wrote unless it is or was recent. There is so much being posted everyday. I just read what I see now. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I feel the emotion that you have hidden in your work. Your command of English gets better all the time. keep at it. You are doing fine. ~ Gee.

I think old values still exist..but freedom since the sixties and seventies
was also a great thing
people falling from religion or worship
people thinking on their own
a good thing...for expansion
then be controlled
as in lemmings or cows
we have the herd instinct
but we have the rebel rouser too
in us

I grew up where family was
like glue regardless of the grit
and even the flies and ants
what is a picnic without these

today we have texts
so U can ask someone too borrow
their mower without the hour long
chat at the fence
the .."I need help..can you help me
out with fifty bucks" then never
too see them for visit
in person...thanks bye..gone..

visits....
some people prefer not being
bothered..happy with their cats
their own personal devices
television
movies
memories
gardens
god knows what else
but in private

others nature
some are stoic
never saying much
more then a nod

I think society has become
more fragmented for the older
people..
the young are driven
like all were
but now they can send
pics....numbers..
hook ups...
wham bam thank U
and off
like shopping even
now you can text
call and everything
anyones little heart
desires gets delivered
or walks up for business
too room..apt...house
trailer..tent..etc..

Here its different but still
a community...
it would be nice too see
people commenting which
is good...But also if they
belong too this community
to also add poetry too...
critiquein others work
without taking a risk or
contributing to the stream
with their own works makes
me think more of posers
just my little irk..god..I know
I admit..sigh...Im not perfect
adjusts crown on head!!
ha ha...

and this place means a lot
too people...maybe the only
safe and real contact left
in the world

im lucky...i adjust shift...
people come into my life
the big fireworks of fun
contact and then they move
off....but im like a traveller
so im always on some new
voyage checking out other
sites and I write tons of
poetry on other sites
about as much as I have
here..but thats my other
private area

still.....I hear U when we
want more steady drop ins
and hellos and what not
its human too want contact

thank U!

I liked Niagra..Ripleys...Lundy lane
an all its seediness...the jumpers
and humpers...now the casino
St Catherines...very gritty town
but pretty....

I got tested in grade five
off the charts..
but not academically
perception or something like
that only...still
some of the greatest leaders
flunked out of school
to make things like atomic
bombs or discoveries One
must have all faculties on
high amperage and output

Over and Out!

Another cry for others to read your work, this was more like a Blog than a poem. I hope this is not a prelude to going back to your previous way of writing, I was enjoying your better works,
Take care and you know it is us that do care, Yours Ian.
