That's a great poem! It's one of your very first?!
Your two points are critically important to me as well. If we could do this, we would all be better able at listening to ourselves, and not take on the personalities and moral judgements of others.

Thank you! There may have been one before this (I’m not sure) but it was either the first or second one I wrote.
This is the main thing I’m working on and trying to hone now. Once you cross that half a century mark time feels so much more important.
I hope you’re well and enjoying summer! 🌞
Time seems to move faster! I look forward to all the poems you will write.
I remember my first ever poem very well, a haiku, and it was pretty good! I wrote it in sixth grade, then didn't write another poem for around forty years.
in the mere of blue
lays the beauty of the sky
and the wake of day
I don't know how I found the obscure meaning of mere but here it is #3
The only other thing I remember about sixth grade was the look on Mrs. Brown's face when I answered her question "What is the #1 best selling book of all time?" with a title by Jean Harlow, a book my mother was reading at the time. When one of my daughters was in third grade, a teacher was talking about the bible, and my daughter raised her hand to ask a question: "What is the bible?" Like mother like daughter, my minime.
It sure does! I really appreciate you saying that. After being around here so long I wonder sometimes how many people are still enjoying what I do. It'll be seven years in just a few days!
That is a fabulous poem! Were you an introvert as a child? I certainly was. I think I internalized so much that it came out in art and the written word.
Haha, I bet those teachers were so surprised! I wouldn't have known that tidbit of trivia at that age either. My brother and I weren't raised in the church at all, that's something I'm thankful for in hindsight.
