Oh! good I can use some more smileys to go with my smileys as I learned to do them only recently. Fun filled and cheeky as usual and you bring much merriment to Stella's site thank you Steven.
As usual you have woven so much thoughtfulness with your own quotes to live by. Your writing is admirable and I am sure you help a lot of people with your wisdom Seema.
Congratulations for your wonderful creation of a Pentaiku form and I am going to give it a go. Using green as a metaphor is a brilliant idea as the moral in the poem works so well in the last line Tom.
This is superb penning and the challenge you took is presented with wisdom and sensitivity. You have set a really high standard for others to follow and I love the form Tom has creatively created. Kudos to you Stella as I can see Tom is really impressed with your first Pentaiku poem!
Have the most wonderful birthday ever with your lovely family and thanks for for creating this great site to enjoy. It is a special gift indeed Stephen!
You have cast a spell over me with this glorious Stellanette and I agree with Seema as it is magical. My favourite image is 'tiny thimbles ring out in the woodland' and the music complements the poem beautifully Stella.
I love enjoying spring poems from your country as we are in autumn and your gorgeous images bring me into your spring. The 'explosion of coloured petals and the beautiful pink in the picture is certainly a treat for me Fay.
This is Oh so romantic and you have the gift of writing straight from your heart to produce dreamy and passionate poetry. Another delightful write from you Bono.
What a joy it is to find you on Stella's site and I love the imagery of the opening line, and how the imagery is beautiful throughout to the very last line. My mother used to sing the song 'Oh What a Beautiful Morning' and this is another reason I love your poem Bono.
A wonderful title and and it has it been a wonderful experience to have lingered on every line enjoying the pride you have for your country Richard. 'Alaskan Tranquility' is superb poetry and Denys stole my favourite line. My second favourite line is 'Heather harkens at my touch'. Home is a haven fo...
Dream-catches are a fascinating subject to read about and stem from Native American culture and I must read more about them. Your free verse is beautiful and bittersweet enriched with splendid imagery. Also I love the dove and feathers in the picture with the glorious colors in the sky Stella.
Candle light can be so soothing and relaxing with the light can bring peace after a hard day's work. I am sure you will fill the lamp whenever you need to and thank you for sharing Prashant.
The feeling of skinny dipping is second to none, and you have brought this to the reader with your beautiful voluptuous penning. I have savoured all your sensational imagery and very much admire the photo as well Stella!
An absolutely beautiful Villanelle and perfect for the delightful spring your country has started to enjoy. Also the poem looks wonderful with the photo you have chosen. May you have the best spring ever Stella.
Extremely amusing and clever writing and like Stella I enjoyed the words related to sheep particularly 'gamboling' As for for 'Tup I had to look it up (LOL) so I have learned a new word today thank you Steven and thank you for sharing too!
Your questions certainly know what living life is all about, and as we grow older, we hopefully have lived our life to the fullest. A wonderfully composed poem which should have a wide readership so others can learn from your wisdom Joseph.
Romantically mystical with a tinge of sadness which evaporates to a true eternal experience of love. This is so beautifully composed and very much admired by me Stella.

Your naughty erotic poem is getting lots of lol lol lols from me lol, and the fourth stanza is my favourite leading onto the insulation in the fifth stanza. It is always great to read your humorous poems and have a good laugh Steve!
I don't know how I missed this beautiful descriptive piece of prose Stella. It so serene and a pleasure to read. Like Fay comments I like your last line too and it paints a glorious picture in my mind.
Brook as a metaphor is a wonderful concept and I love how you have used the word 'tumbling' from 'words' 'heeding whispers' to reach a river of dreams Denys.
Such creative imagery and 'puddles with ocean dreams quivered with delight really' did it for me'. I will look at puddles with a different viewpoint now Cindy.
So very true and I feel there is more happiness if we work hard through our difficulties, and become grateful we have found happiness. It is great to find you on this site again Ramesh.
What a comical thing to have in common with your love one and methinks you may have been a dentist will all the ludicrous dentist lingo you have used. Another fantastic humorous write with great rhyme and rhythm too Steven. I hope she did NOT have a canal root filling as they are a money making unhe...
Welcome to Stella's site and I hope you will enjoy it as much as I do. Your Quatern poem is a treat to read and refrain works wonderfully as it travels down your page. It is such a beautiful, lyrical and enchanting write, and thank you for posting it Prashant.
The tri-fall form is one of my favorite forms and like Prashant comments, it can spin magic to the reader as you have succeeded in doing. I love how you have used all the seasons with such beautiful imagery Stella.
That's the trouble growing wiser, having more than one health problem. You have written this with aplomb and great sense of humour yet I understand it is not easy growing old with more health problems than we imagined we would have. I hope you enjoyed a beautiful birthday Joseph.
Wow your breezy imagination knows no bounds and I admire the humour you have used, and the picture is really beautiful. You are a lover of nature and I am lover of this poem Fay.
A wonderful and sensitively written gift to your mother under such sad circumstances and it reminds me of 'absence can make the heart grow fonder'. The metaphor of the painting makes it all the more engaging for me knowing how special mothers are, and you were away an the armed forces Joseph.
What a gorgeous way to write about timid spring and she is in the air as your nose can't help knowing about her. This is enchanting and beautiful thank you Cindy...
Happy Birthday Joseph and congratulations on your special 90th Birthday! I Stella am smiling at your delightful poem for Joseph especially the wild strawberry becoming tasty jelly (lol)
Such a marvelous suite of haiku where each haiku could stand alone Stella I agree with Fay, as together they are powerful and my favorite is the concluding one with the comparison of fire and thunder to the cool raindrops.
This is a joy to read and I have read it over and over again as it is an enchanting spring sonnet and so beautifully crafted. Ernesto's music is perfect and I adore the two closing lines Stella.
Welcome back to Stella's site David. Poets on this site respect one another and it is peaceful where like minded friends share their love of poetry. Poetfreak can be entertaining but has many problems so I really enjoy being here free of stress.
He comes from rags switching riches On the rouge boudoir of my bed.
