I enjoyed reading your poem about things going on with the coronavirus in your part of the world. I'm starting to get out a little bit. The salons and barber ships are open and restaurants, but with limited seating. My dentist is now open for business. What we have to worry about in the US is the disgusting rioters. Not only are they looting and burning things, but they could very well be spreading the virus. If you're in the mood to riot, feel free to go out all you want! Excellent rhyme and flow in your poem. I hope you'll soon get to be out and about. I know how much you enjoy your walks. judi

Thanks Judi. So glad I don't have to depend on some of the whacky phoney money collector dumb reviews in here. These "fly by nighters" of course don't know me at all. I will look at some of their stuff but I know I will probably be disappointed. See who won Reviewer of the month again the professional reviewer.

You're very welcome. The same people seem to win in all the categories, whether it's reviewer, short works, whatever. It is discouraging. judi

Yep, I think you know already but I am only still here because a very kind FS friend (I am sure) paid for me to stay another year. I think they like my reviews and maybe some of my writing. Another Ramble coming in a day or two. Thanks for coming by.

That was a very thoughtful gesture on someone's part. I'd say they do enjoy your posts. judi
Comment from Sally Law
We all feel this way. This is so adorable though and illustrated with great humor, Geoff. It's looking like the end of days to me which tells me the coming of Christ is at hand. I'm
praying for all believers today; that we will be strengthened in the Lord and lift up our heads beyond the myraid of troubles to see Him as Lord over all.
Sending my best to you both, today as always,
Sally xoxo

AMEN SIS End times fer shore. Notice the professional reviewer has won Reviewer of the month again but been a while this time. Have a look at some of the whacky reviews I am getting. Glad I have my regulars who know my way of writing. Thanks again.

I think this is great. I've just recently muted three people in a row. FanStory is drawing in people with their comtestmads. I just enteredma national comtest recently and saw an advertisement for FanStory. FanStory has a lot of great writer's mixed in with the very new and inexperienced. Many haven't ,earned now to give a proper review just yet. You'll always have me, my friend. Sal xoxo

A very well-written poem about the impact of the virus on each and every human life, we are made to roam wherever we want to and to be locked up and not permit to roam freely us not natural.

The social isolation and social distancing have certainly changed our view of the world. In Western Australia, most restrictions have been lifted now. Hopefully, all will be gone soon. I hope you're able to get out and about more soon.

You are so right. It has changed us all. Church is starting back with 50 this Sunday but we are holding off for a bit longer. Thanks for the great review.

Hope that you can go out about soon in your part of the world. We go for walks but haven't even been in the car much at all. Hope you both stay safe and enjoy some trips real soon. Fun picture and poem!

Thanks very much. Old picture I enlarged a bit. I forget where I got it! Felt like it fitted well. I do the walks I actually went iout foir a walk this morning it was too windy so I came back home.

Good one San key. I think the entire world is totally paranoid over this virious. AMA has sucked more than a trillion dollars from this scare. Someone needs to say no more money until you find a cure. I bet we have one in thirty days.

Comment from CandySoda777
I like that your poem is very casual, with no deep, hidden meanings. The rhyming just made it a whole lot better, but you could use some better wording.

Thanks for coming by. Where are you? I am in Australia and if you are American or from some other area maybe some gets lost in the interpretation. I don't know why some of you are marking me down when you basically like what I have written. Not errors as far as I can tell except for one word I claim poetic license to use even if perhaps grammatically incorrect. Not sure we have met before. I will look you up.
-
I wasn't talking about the specific words, I meant that if you reworded some of your lines, it would give your poem a better rhythm. I liked it, though. I thought I gave you a good score?

Maybe you did the 4 by mistake it does happen and I have mistakenly done it unintentionally as well. mabe on another edit I might see how it could go better, thanks.
Comment from Joan E.
We have just compounded our problems in the States with the racial riots creating curfews. I do lots with Zoom and lectures online, but now even getting a blood test can be a challenge. I enjoyed your "missing-the-boat" picture and rhymed quatrains that most of us can relate to. Be safe- Joan

Thanks, Joan for picking up my unknown quatrains. Seems I do some good forms even ignorantly. Glad you liked the old picture have had it for years. Someone got offended about the "Crap" so I re-did it without the crap but I got this one enlarged and changed it back to crap hehe. Always appreciate your lovely reviews. Had someone new reviewed the Molly Poem said they liked it and marked me down to four! Go figure!
-
When I get a low rating with no explanation, I ask the reviewer if they can let me know how to improve the work, and oftentimes the rating was in error. Good luck- Joan

Everyone is feeling just as you do. It will be hard from now on go go about our business as we did before the pandemic. We will still be fearful of germs wherever we go.

Thanks for coming by and I know you are right. We are not even sure we will get back to church that opens up for 50 people, next Sunday.

I am rather bemused by this poem. I don't understand why you write that avoiding the virus has been a sham. On the contrary, I feel that lockdown and gradual (underline that three times) release has been effective. Alsp wishing you good luck is a bit egocentric, no? we all need luck now, and prayers.

Ah well thanks for coming by anyway. Poetic license and all that. Glad you didn't mark me down like someone else did on another poem even though they said they liked it! Ho hum.

I don't like knocking people back. Very occaisionally I refrain from reviewing - a better solution I think.
You can do me a little service if you feel so inclined. Explain to Echo Ridgley (a newbie who has beniffited from the automatic 5 star for 4 posts now (2 reviews each)) how it works. This nerd just gave me a 4 which knocked off my six I'd just receivedfor the s

You can do me a little service if you feel so inclined. Explain to Echo Ridgley (a newbie who has had 2x5 reviews on each of 4 posts so far) how it works. This jerk just gave me a 4, knocking back the 6 I had just received. I don't want to have to deal with him myself, but I know he'll do it again as it's a book chapter so same style.

Will see if I can find them. Not read then before I don't think. Some do it by mistake.
