Thank you, Traci, for such kind comments on my poem, My Inner Light. I truly appreciate your thoughts on it. You have a Blessed week. - EFSage
"Youth is a wonderful thing. What a crime to waste it on children." -George Bernard Shaw (I thought of it after reading "Almost 40 in the Age of Hipsters". And this next one just reminds me of you:

"I used to say to myself, 'What the devil have you got to be proud about, Marilyn Monroe?' And I’d answer, 'Everything, everything.'" –Marilyn Monroe
hi, traci--
thank you for the congratulations! i was giddy as a drunk monkey when i found out i'd won.
i appreciate your note!
Haha, I know, I need to get back to writing. But lately I've found critiquing to be much more interesting than actually writing my own stuff. I've just got to make some time!
Thank you for critiquing my poem. I'll be sure to incorporate the specifics into my poem soon,
Thanks, Traci, You're welcome for the crit. I'm glad I wasn't too hard on you, and you found something useful in my critique.

Keep Writing
