I Never Would Have Had The Nerve - Poem by Alison Cassidy

........................it's silly old dyslexic me who should be thanking you, and I do... (Report)Reply

Life only teaches you about the life Alison and I can measure the depth of this valuable poem. (Report)Reply

Alison, you're not in the background any longer. This is brilliant. (Report)Reply

Well Allie, I'm GLAD you had the nerve in the end.... you write brilliantly and this just serves to remind me what I've been missing. I must take a peek around your pages.... Great write! HG: -) xx (Report)Reply

Say Ally, you're not writing 'bout me, are ya? : <{) Pedagogically and perspicaciously (one of my personal favourites) ...HEY, look those up in your Funk and Wagnall's as they were oft' to say on 'Laugh-in.' Yeah, imposing perfection is kind of a drag, isn't it? No shrinking violet are you today, but a radiant, fragrant rose kissed by early morning raindrops, reaching for the sanguine Sun's resplendent beams like a 'Song Of a Second April.' For someone who hasn't been spilling poetic ink for an appreciable amount of time, relatively speaking, you are developing at a alarming rate. I surmise no one should be all that surprised owing to the fact that you've benn honing a decent craft in the Shakespearean thespian business for some spell now. 'Aye, that's the rub.'

Affectionately,

A 10 and vote of confidence! You need to get your own secretary! -chuck (Report)Reply

A liberating and inspirational piece of poetry Allie, written with great confidence and control - you have found your poetic voice - long may it continue to tell your story...justine xx (Report)Reply

wonderful and beautiful write you got in here Ally...and I guess we dont really need to be perfect as long thats its came from the heart...what's sense if its to perfect that no one understand anything. Poetry is the door way to the soul, to write a poem is to show your heart and soul to the world. love how you write its perfect for me, Mary :) :) (Report)Reply

We shift and move and grow in our own way and all have their own story, i'd say that you are telling yours very well

Love duncan X (Report)Reply

Much great talent never flowers because it's trapped in shadow... but now, in the light of your own confidence and will Allie, you're making it happen... that must give you a great sense of achievement and pride - and surely with a slightly bittersweet tinge... This is a another fine example of what was being suppressed... ..Hope your show is getting underway too! xxx jim (Report)Reply

sometimes nerve (or lack thereof) is the only thing separating great words from obscurity. Emerging from the shadow of one we admire is no mean feat.
Nice work. (Report)Reply
