If Poem by Linda Ori

Midnight>>>And how right you are..A person has to realise within themselves that what they do is the right thing, & for the right reasons...Very well expressed, young lass! ~ F.j.R.~ -O2-20-07-

Linda, this is so easy to read and written so lovely. Beautiful. I loved it. Don't change the title it fits this piece like a glove. I've given it full marks. Your opening two line captured me straight away on this. David

Excellent finish to an excellent poem.

To accept the perfection of the way things are; to feel contented with yourself as you are, warts and all - that is the message of this profound piece, written simply and sweetly. Your IF is beautiful, Linda. love, Allie xxxx

I just loved your poem so very much. I specially love this 'IF' subject... just posted some poems today with this big IF. I just loved the begining stanza of this poem.... Perhaps you'd take a second chance..... loved this line!

Brilliant piece! Hugs, Dee

Bridging the differences, closing the gaps between lovers, old or new, but especially old is a problematic business. Maybe better to work with acceptance of them as the final stanza implies in this terrific piece of quality poetry. Fluid, rhythmic and plaintive. Excellent Linda. jim xxx
