Nice Work Emma, light and witty and well put together. Excellent ✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️

[emmajoygreen]

Excellent at this time of the morning is a wake up call. Thank you!

[Philip Gaber]

This is very English, Emma. It might be your first poem, which I've busted out with a huge smile. It just struck me as a little darkly funny, ala Sam Beckett! Cheerio.

[emmajoygreen]

I'll take Sam Beckett any time, Philip, thank you very, very much! Maybe I should write far shorter pieces than prose poetry. Guess the latter stems from my past short story writing.

[Philip Gaber]

Write you and like no one else.

[Philip Gaber]

I don't think so. Write what you think you would like to see. Only do you, Em.

It's all about balance, I think, dear Emma. These days we are all in a rush, only God knows for what or why. We haven't time to smell the roses, enjoy a coffee with a friend! There is always something waiting for our attention and our time, but if we take things at a slightly slower pace, we can fit everything in. I love this poem because it offers wonderful advice to your reader. Both thought provoking and insightful, so much said in so few words in this eloquent play with words. Lovely work! Thank you for sharing, Emma...

[emmajoygreen]

Marie, thank you for your above words, the calm sanity of your thoughts, I do love the 'All Around' and being out in it, not necessarily thinking but knowing something is seeping into me. Peace is an essential - when things outside selves happen, do what take on a battle zone, stand ground or run.. making a decision takes time. Am trying to work it out. Strange that you think I'm giving advice, maybe I should take more of it?! Thank you, sincerely. Sighhh

[Marie]

Most welcome always, dear Emma...

[Cassie]

I have missed reading you, this is very relatable.

[emmajoygreen]

Good to see you Hope all's well with your daughters.

[Cassie]

yes we are well, thank you for checking. Be safe

[Linda alexander]

Thought provoking especially if personification of book to a human being is coming to my mind. Loved this writing. Take care

[emmajoygreen]

Thank you so very much. Kind thoughts, kind you.

[Dr Sharmila Parajuli]

[emmajoygreen]

Many thanks for leaving such kind words; am truly grateful, Doctor Parajuli

[Dr Sharmila Parajuli]

You are most welcome
Lots of love from Nepal

[Amanda Renee]

I love this, I am sensing some double entendres?

[emmajoygreen]

Not quite sure, Amanda, am I?! Intended my wee scribble to be a play on words but not unpleasant ones! Have you time to explain where you sense that, please!! Many thanks for visiting. :)

[Amanda Renee]

The pray to be right, keep to the left, and and which weigh, gave me a double meaning feel, perhaps I'm wrong- but I love the poem all the same!

[Thomas W Case]

Tremendous work. Loved it.

[Ken Simm.]

Excellent whimsey and thoughts from an accomplished thinker.

[Mauricio Montoya]

Well done if only I know when to write but I stay silent to say thank you for sharing.
