Means a lot.<br /><br /><b> Gerry</b><br />Thank you so much. It's good to get the feedback.<br /><br /><b>Cait </b><br />Much appreciate and value your words. Thank you.<br /><br /><b>Tabor </b><br />Thanks. Yes, you are quite right, I do find it difficult initially. It will seem beyond me. I think I most like doing the math after it's done!<br /><br /><b>another wandering soul </b><br />Thank you for saying this. It is a great help to have such comments.<br /><br /><b>Laurie </b><br />Thank you. Good to have your comment.<br /><br /><b>manicddaily </b><br />Interesting observations. The first stanza was the first one written. Increasingly now I look back and see it as part of that great world-wide stage of which the bard spoke.<br /><br /><b>Mary </b><br />Yes, very much so - or so I have come to think.Tthanks for saying.<br /><br /><b>accidental writer </b><br />A warm welcome to the blog.Thank you for commenting. All thoughts are useful to know.<br /><br /><b>Heaven </b><br />Thank you so much. good of you to say so.<br /><br /><b>haricot </b><br />Thank you. You seem to be able to get the gist of things. Always good to have your thoughts.<br /><br /><b>Beachanny </b><br />Thank you so much for such a generous comment. It is deeply appreciated - as was the prompt.<br /><br /><b>Rachna </b><br />Much thanks . Good to know.<br /><br /><b>Claudia </b><br />Yes, it is like that sometimes. I guess I'm not always aware of it - until someone points it out. A most useful comment. Thank you.<br /><br /><b>Tommaso </b><br />Thanks for this. Much appreciated.<br /><br /><b>Cloudia </b><br />kind words. Thank you.<br /><br /><b>Kelvin </b><br />Thank you for your kind words. I appreciate your comments and the trouble you took to leave them. Do not down grade your poem, though. I found it quite delightful. Even light works can have depth. Keep them coming - that's the main thing. Lots of good things there to enjoy.<br /><br /><b>Polly </b><br />Thanks and welcome. It's good to have you aboard. Your comments are much valued.<br /><br /><br />Dave Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08430484174826768488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508563923634392703.post-35071977207335602032012-12-08T08:07:11.828+00:002012-12-08T08:07:11.828+00:00Clever, Dave, I like this very much.Clever, Dave, I like this very much.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508563923634392703.post-73979097021888089112012-12-08T04:47:59.271+00:002012-12-08T04:47:59.271+00:00...excellent... like others i fell in love with yo......excellent... like others i fell in love with your refrain..so perfectly incorporated to make your whole Quatern shine and stand out... wish i could have tried a deeper element in my quatern but too busy and tired of work so instead i crafted a light, childish mood poem... anyway, no regrets coz i totally enjoyed working with this form... smiles...kelvin s.m.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02591849636814413110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508563923634392703.post-12744957630599301322012-12-08T02:49:48.857+00:002012-12-08T02:49:48.857+00:00unique 'take' on the memories we all re=st...unique 'take' on the memories we all re=stage in age. . . .<br /><br /><br />Aloha to YOU from Waikiki<br /><a href="http://comfortspiral.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Comfort Spiral</a><br /> <br /> ~ > < } } ( ° ><br /><br />> < 3 3 3 ( ' > <br /> <br /> ><}}(°> ~Cloudiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05853753108637831069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508563923634392703.post-81113220543688761762012-12-07T19:18:37.459+00:002012-12-07T19:18:37.459+00:00Delightful.

I love this stage crafting working the "play" that always goes on in one's head, a nod to Shakespeare, and yet so original. The genius here, of course, was in choosing your refrain line. As always your work is excellent.

You describe a scene that is familiar in the truest sense of the word - I thought the first stanza especially strong, with the rhymes of the door and war and the archetypical sense of the home theater. k.
