Tis not thru the wish to leave
Nor truth that I don’t care
But troubles dawn my silver lining
Oh! but for me it is not rare
I ask you not for your pity
But for understanding and thought
For this my dearest friends
Is all I ever sought!
To be here within your clan
Lightens my troubled soul
As the happenings that curse me
Are far beyond my own control
My only saving grace
Is the man who has given his heart
But until the near future
Sometimes we are apart
Tho nothing will ever help me
Like the friends I have made on here
To know you all are praying
Brings to me that little tear
So although I may not visit
Or enter the contests hosted
I hope my king at least
I will be excused from being roasted

Hmmm... I'm new here, nobody told me that I could actually be roasted. Now I have to wonder if I wasn't invited in because the economy is so bad and everyone in the castle is starting to starve... I do remember Hugh telling me something about everyone looking forward to me being introduced at a fancy dinner but he refused to give me any details... perhaps you let something slip with this poem? Could that be why my map of the castle doesn't have any exit doors marked? I'm getting just a tad bit worried here.
Such a heartfelt poem dear ( dispite my previous lighthearted comments) and very well written. Good luck in the contest.

This is honest and well written and I can relate to the distress and regret at not being able to have the benefit of being here as much as one would like.
Despite the time of pain this conveys, your ability to find humor is eloquent as is apparent in the end line.

But grinned at the end
Best of luck in the contest

A little understanding goes a long way. It's nice to know friends and loved ones are around to support us and to take our minds off things even if only for a little while.
A beautiful heartfelt poem. I don't think you need to fear about being roasted.

Darling Linda,I have always admired your mastery with words ,but with this poem you have excelled your own self 'Tho nothing will ever help me Like the friends I have made on here'-to read these lines was totally heartwarming and it made me really smile-'I will be excused from being roasted'-I liked the humor in this line
God be with you Love aura

I cant imagine our King actually roasting any of us..... maybe throw us in the dungeon lol
Even though you have wrote with sadness I felt as I followed your plight I loved the ending it gave me a real giggle

Dear Linda,
I am just SO THRILLED that you have come back to us with this entry. You should know how much I have missed you and prayed for you and hoped constantly for an end to your tribulations and a smoother road ahead for you.

I hope that this entry is a sign that things have got better for you.
Your reasons for not having entered previous contests are well understood and there is no chance of your being "roasted" but I hope we may see more of you in future.
Welcome back and best of luck with your forthright entry.
Love and hugs, as always, XXX Hugh (R.)

I liked this gentle poem and followed its ups and its downs, expressing things most of have known or will know. The abcb rhyme is consistent and unforced, conversational in tone, a lovely poem.
Terry
