Gratitude

Cushioned here in this
netherworld, safe and comforted;
Perfection rises from the soul
reaching out to all who will
listen; Softly chastising errors
with corrections and advice;
Forms, styles to confuse
the already confused state
of mind; Realising failings,
and striving to better continuously;
Admiring works of art performed
beautifully; Created by perfect
honesty and respect; Reaching
out for applause and awe;
Wonders of the written word
never fails to amaze; And this gift
we possess is indeed, a gift to
be cherished protected and
given freely, to all who wish
to avail of it's beauty; Praise,
for the praise worthy and support
for all who need a gentle hand;
All is found here, so with a
kindly hand...............
I salute you all

    This is gorgeous. The feeling of gratitude opens the heart and allows more gifts to be accepted. I found an excess of commas, however, punctuation is a matter of taste.
    Thank you for your lovely comment on Doubts.

    YAY!!!! This is MAGNIFICENT!!! *proposes a toast in honor of cutiepie* To the poet who never takes anything for granted! (cheers!) Your poetry is exceedingly rare and unique. My favorite line is 'Cushioned here in this netherworld safe and comforted, perfection rises from the soul...' AP is, after all, another world...a dreamworld for The Dreamers...this place pacifies me to no end. Always a kind word when you need it, always a ventilation system...I think it's simply wonderful that you have expressed your gratitude in such a profound way! Excellent write, as always!

    i salute very few. i used to salute everyone, but then i started acquiring an education and now i'm a grouchy old gnome whos steepled hat only appears above the towering stacks of books long enough to scowl at those who can't correctly tell me the relationship between the accusative and nomitave case in english and whether or not english used to be an inflectional language.



    okay okay ... you've expressed yourself pretty clearly here.

    *steepled hat disappears behind the books again*

    Nicely written tribute to the written word. Poetry is definately an art form that should be shared by all. Thanks for sharing this beautiful work with us.
    One technical note...honestly and respect, reaching
    'honestly' I think needs to be 'honesty'.

    Sincerely,
    Leo Long

    hey cutiepie, this is very good no not just good, amazing. there are so many who only share their complaints through verses, complaining about life and people and life to the most. but there are a very few who say thank you with a heart full of gratitude and content.
    i truely appreciate it...it's as sweet as the message it conveys. thank you ....a million for sharing it!
