For me, life is about realizing that we can do/be something amazing each day, not about how much you have. What really defines us?

This has been one my favorite shots from you. You really weave artistry, images and a sentiment with such few words. Brilliant! Beautiful words and they ring so authentic.

The way you've pitted the haves and the have-nots against each other has me wondering what could compel either to meet the other on the tracks. The haves would have to escape their "trappings" (why?) and the have-nots are scrambling too hard working or stealing. Perhaps that's what you suggest with the word "possibly". Your poem is beautifully written. Provocative. The way you’ve pitted the haves and the have-nots against each other has me wondering what could compel either to meet the other on the tracks.

I don't know enough about poetry to name what you did here, but it's fun to read aloud and the comparisons are great -- perfect for the poem. I really love your poetry...it's as simple as that:~) Belinda — This poem begins like tasting a perfectly cooled Pinot Grigio on a hot day and then closes with a dark and rich Amarone, leaving questions on your taste buds:~)

I love a drop myself, but its a fine line between liking a drop and addiction, and some would say that line is genetic. Beyond you control-until you know and move over to sobriety. Beautifully illustrated message. Great imagery. Shah. X Fabulous. I love a drop myself, but its a fine line between liking a drop and addiction, and some would say that line is genetic.

As always I love your words!
