  1. nice play on emotions here hank... and it feels good to be successful - the only danger is when we connect our happiness with our success... i just wanna learn to be happy no matter what - ha - but that's something that is on my personal lessons to learn schedule...smiles

  3. Ah, nicely done. If only we could always be that successful and quick at leaving the anger behind!

  4. Anger has a way of taking over, doesn't it!

  5. The contrast between the joy and the dope creates so much tension

  6. Many have followed the Kelvin form, which seemed limited to 4 stanzas/poems; but I had so much fun with it, I whipped out a dozen; it's all good, but your Tilus 3 was my fave.

  7. I love this, though I would probably have put them in a different order (4/1/3/2) - don't listen to me though - I have a piece of paper that says I'm crazy so what do I know... *smile* But like I said, really love this beautiful and simple description of very strong emotions

  20. You veered away from the Nature poem, but to great effect. I like your interjections, which add real life, action and humour to the poems!

  21. You're a natural Hank... and as always your versatility to various forms shine through here. I enjoyed your tiluses, Thank you! smiles.

  22. Like 4 neat little seasons in 4 little poems.

    Happiness and success is Spring to have a friend like Hank. Summertime's hot sun scorches skin and feelings, Autumn's jilted and abandoned trees, the leaves having abandoned ship. Winter seems un-ending to some.

    Thank goodness it's always spring of friendship in the heart.

  23. some times success and happiness are mutually exclusive - but here, they work just right

  24. AH! I particularly liked the part about success and the build that takes us there. Nice.
