Cyclic
Are life's seeds planted
I have run in circles
Toward a better place
All detours become vacations
I'd rather pick wild flowers
In a field of fantasies
Than find thorns on every rose

I absolutely love this poem, and this is , I think my favorite stanza, but I love all of them, great images and thoughts, love the style and presentation !

Very nice flow and format to this poem. I especially like the one word "subject" line to start each stanza. The language is rich and descriptive and the reader is left with a nice heartwarming message.

    Actually, I wanted that for one poem. It was the first time I used them, and did not realize they stay on until you take them off! Didn't mean any offense, BTW.

Hello beautiful Jewell,

Sadly I am out of sixes, but this is the first poem I have read since I returned from Paris and the taste of romantic beauty stays intact for me in your poem. Luscious, lilting lines
drenched in fresh sweetness:

All detours become vacations
I'd rather pick wild flowers
In a field of fantasies
Than find thorns on every rose

I have missed you, dearest friend.
Love and warm blessings,
Ami

INNER SANCTUM,

What a beautiful poem this is! I have to agree with what you said in the end-

I'd rather pick wild flowers
In a field of fantasies
Than find thorns on every rose

The flow was smooth. Your arrangement was done well.

The imagery was wonderful. Very descriptive and created impressions are very vivid and understandable.

There was no SPAG. No typos. No homophones. No problems at all.

I look forward to seeing you again.

Love you,

Oatmeal

Dreams are good! Love, love, love your photography...Hi ya JJ--You may feel like you're running a marathon in circles, but if your writing and artwork are any indication, your creative touch is working just fine. Hang in there girlfriend...

Hugs,
Lark
