Micro-poetry is fun! And it is challenging and as I am finding out...rewarding. You guys are all doing a fantastic job. I really like yours, everyone of them (of course I'm partial to the last one...I am very egotistical)
The first speaks of poetry and what we can glean from it, finding an identity and our little measure of fame on this website. I am famous here to about 15 people, you are famous to those you know...we are little stars and starlettes.
#2 is excellent. It tells a very simple thing, but in a beautiful way, expressing it so that the reader easily can see...and more importantly...feel.
#3 Sad of course, by the the deepest, most introspective...and tells the greatest truth...love is a hard road and all too often isn't reciprocal...or ceases to be. It also speaks of vulnerabilities...what is worse than giving yourself completely, leaving oneself out there...only to have it spoiled...defiled because love is not reciprocal. People are too greedy.
#4---well what can I say? It is perfect...it describes me, and my silliness which I am glad that others see and hopefully share the fun. Plus it mentions flamingos...the cutest pink birds this side of pink penguins!
The best thing is the variety of the poems...all differ greatly...a very enjoyable read. Thanks!
