ironic isn't it
You won.
But, you won years ago
it was never a competition
for me.
I was not in the race,
at all.
You were the best
he thought he could get.
Ironic
isn't it.

This one is a bullseye! It is a zinger! I got a kick out of it!
Warm regards,

Good Kathy
No "zinger" intended. Just the truth. raskin
~Truth~
Your truth was well stated. It is clear that you know how to live in truth. I always admire those that make truth their quest. I related to this poem.
Warm regards,
Kathy

Ouch
I remember saying something like this to my first love
about the other man in her life,
this one, this poem, hurts alot, and i feel that...
i dont know if you were hurt as you wrote this,
but my heart weakens, at the thought of such
a meager submission, and love...
you always have a way of evoking emotions in me,
and maybe not me, but everyone;
sweet poem raskin.
hope all is well with you.
a pray a simple prayer for you:
happiness
well since we're not friends for some reason or other anymore,
i took the liberty to subscribe to this blog, i hope its yours,
it seems alot less used, where did all your other work go...?
i hope i see those poems again, i hope i see more poems still.
Nope, put my big girl britches on
there's a time for everything
a season for everything
people come and go
that's alright, in all things
theres a time to move on.
Moving on only means that.
I may still post on occasion here and check in once in awhile
but it's best for me to move on. I've learned a lot here on writing and I'm moving on to learn more. No pain in this poem just letting go of another balloon watching it float away. I'm good, I've had to let go of a lot in my life. Thanks for your support. raskin
Fly!
Well that great!
I wish only the best of things for you,
and you sound so strong, i hope im like you
with that overwhelming inner clarity and purpose
thank you for one of the poems i loved from you:
The fairy that danced alone,
and thank you for just posting in general.
see you in time
“You know quite well, deep within you, that there is only a single magic, single power, a single salvation... and that is called loving. Well, then, love your suffering. Do not resist it, do not flee from it. It is your aversion that hurts, nothing else”
-Hermann Hesse
Live your ideal, do your ideal
You will be very missed!
You and your writing have touched me so often! Your comments were always supportive and said as much about you as your writing. Thanks you and good wishes!
Encouragement
Thanks JohnC for the encouragement you gave me. This is one of the better sites as far as quality and usability. I've gone off on my own, still writing, still enjoying it. I still check in to read. I don't know if I'll post here again, I guess I'm taking a break. Thanks again John. raskin
Hi Raskin
Enjoyed this piece, as I have much of your work.
Moving on eh? A sad day for this site. Though I'm not around so much lately, I will miss reading your writes, your humour and your personality that always shone through. Good luck to you raskin, it really has been a pleasure reading your work,
Dave
Thanks Dave
for your support and encouragement. I've enjoyed this site but I'm breaking out on my own, it's good. I'll stop in and read but I doubt I will post here again but as they say never say never. My email doesn't work from this site so that's alright. Good luck Dave and thanks again. raskin
Bye Rask
I wish you well ol' poet friend. I appreciate all of the comments you left on my poems in the past. I enjoyed reading your funny/one of a kind gems, whilst sharing and receiving great insight. I've seen many a'poet come and go from here, but I don't think there has been a more steadfast patron than you. There is a time{like you said} when we all move on in life to different venues, I did so myself. Not that I didn't love this site, but I found that it was consuming me trying to write and garner attention from others, and I found myself losing touch with it all when I tried to return. Anywayz... enough of me, godspeed to you wherever you go.
ROCK ON RASK! ~Bryce
You are one
I will miss reading. There are others that are very good here. It has been an easy site to learn on. I feel the need to learn more and spread my wings a bit. Thanks for the inspiration you have provided with the wonderful way you write. I appreciate it. Good luck Bryce. raskin
Raskin
You will always be an inspiration...
I wish you all the best...
Thanks for all the encouragements!
Raskin rocks!!! \m/
Eric
thank you Eric
Good luck with your writing and growth. I'm going off on my own and evolving, I'm developing my poems as an autobiography for my kids. An emotional imprint. It's good, thanks again for taking the time to comment. raskin
