To All You Poets Out There
          	Anguish not if your writings do not bring you the recognition that you desire. Poems are like fine wine. They may lay dormant for ages before their bouquet blossoms as the result of their discovery by those searching through the dusty back shelves of the book stores of the future. It matters not if they were hand written on the cheapest of papers or printed on the finest of stationaries and bound in leather volumes. Be they eloquent or be they in the many languages of the unschooled they represent the inner feelings of those in the past that took the time to share a precious gift and they may well stand the test of time.

@PietriSunflowers and hugs a wonderful start to my day
            You are as sweet as sugar in your own special way
            Although absent of late I still follow your posts
            So remember me fondly, as your works I do toast
            A toast with a fine glass of wine held high in recognition
            Of a writer whose works are well worth the price of admission

reread your bio     late bloomer    not sure if you are late or merely early on wisdoms  
          ahead of the game and to me that is not such a bad place to be :))) 
          hope you post some added poetry of yours    .....

@Pietri0x I am posting my most current writes to Poetrysoup.com. Still trying to figure the new Wattpad out as it relates to posting works and just posting messages. It appears to me that Wattpad is expecting everything to be in book form.

@Pietri0x It is a cool morning with the temperature at 56 degrees. It can get very warm here in the summer with temperatures reaching 105 degrees.  So far we are having extended spring like weather.  Stay cool and may your writing this day warm your (dear) heart.
