Your poem brings to mind the scene that you are writing about and the emotions - therefor - good poetry.JoAnn ( Scene Through My Eyes)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12621061028973446378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-40091948341415573322015-10-08T11:31:45.462-07:002015-10-08T11:31:45.462-07:00I love poetry and reading it out loud, and writing...I love poetry and reading it out loud, and writing it (I am the world's worst poet). I love funny poems and serious poems and in between poems. I like yours too and the monks and travellers in it and I am glad they were laughing and singing in the last verse.

So enjoyed reading everyone posts. That is what started me reading poetry again. I miss her blog very much.<br />I do write haiku and enjoy it very much.<br /><br />cheers, parsnip<br /><br />angryparsniphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17236094827257446781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-89683272778817310362015-10-08T08:12:34.549-07:002015-10-08T08:12:34.549-07:00All poets and writers are their own worst critics....All poets and writers are their own worst critics.
