Just because his father taught him to hammer
the stroke of a brush he may better wield
Just because he grew up in poverty
he knew not the true funds or possible yield
Just because one sets to writing
the poetry printed won't feed every soul
Just because you're stuck in your season
doesn't mean you won't make your goal
We all must find what makes us unravel
the bounty of blessings we keep tucked inside
and here I've just enjoyed making a bit of a rattle
of what I've discovered & try not to hide

Thank You!
Thank You for Your entry: Just Because....
This piece tugged hard at Spirit and after reading several times ~
I'm Honored also Humbled You took the time to pen for my contest
You took the prompt and brought forth much for the Mind to feast upon~
Bravo!! When I digest words written, images come through that grab hard~
Woven Strengths: Wow~ Now when I digested Your verse~ I kept being
shown a Giant~ but this may sound wild but a Giant in a manner of when
Fallen Angels who were cast down to Earth; communed with Earth Women~
and spawned these Giants~ I am shown word: Nephilims~
I was drawn to the *&* in the last line~
only because You have in the line before it *and*~
Wanted to bring that for Your review because it stopped me
to take another look- I highly encourage one or the other due
to Consistency and Flow within verse~ Just something to think
about but it does not change Message shown to me
Adore the rhyme~
After reading Your words again~ I was shown a small boat on the waters...
but specifically in my frame of reference I was shown an episode from
X-Files where Scully is sitting in this wooden boat (as if from a Dream)~
I believe the episode is Beyond the Sea~ and feels Metaphoric~ as if an underlining Message within this image also re: the theme of that episode~
Hearing song from Bobby Darin~ Beyond the Sea
However that is to be Interpreted.
You give the Reader much to think about
Love the direction You took with this prompt
Hopefully my comment to Your write makes sense
Powerful verse and message You have brought forth
These words grabbed and pulled~
Just because one sets to writing
the poetry printed won't feed every soul
Vivid Imagery poured in these lines...
Thank You for sharing Your Talent also Voice
also best wishes to You in the contest Sweet Soul
Many blessings too 
with much love and light~ Desire~*~

The truth will set you free.
Or we find out what you have learned and what you can do. Don't paint with a hammer, and a hammer won't screw.Learn what you can, and don't second guess. Ask to be sure before there is a mess...mac
Glad to see you on here again stranger to my eyes...mac

This reminds me of the poetry of Edgar A. Guest and that is a huge compliment because I like his poetry so much.
A really really good poem, Tang!
