Sweet Poetry Poem by Rod M.Peters

maybe a comma instead of a period at end of second line. and some other punctuation changes in stanza two perhaps. My old scales softly hurled And whispered of a worthier goal............is/are Sweet Poetry OR the scales doing the hurling and whispering. so, Sweet Poetry is your Muse? a helpful note perhaps: i have found that it is interesting to read a poet's response to a poem comment, but the poet's response only seems to show up on the poem's page. SO, if you don't expect a reader to return to look for a response, you MIGHT wish to also send the response to the reader as a message, OR just send as a message and 'the heck with' other readers! ! bri :) i VERY RARELY would think to return to a page to look for a response to a comment i've left. but i always send a response to a reader who has left a comment, using PH's message system. bri :) the scales part was not clear to me. were scales representative of your past habits/attitudes/style of writing poetry. you may take that as a rhetorical question. bri :)

Beautiful piece of poetry, well articulated and nicely penned in good rhyme scheme with conviction. Thanks for sharing Rod.
