I love your ability create such brave, crisp and sassy poetry- definitely high quality stuff. I certainly put your writings up therewith noteworthy examples. It's been a true pleasure...so don't go far.

Beautiful poems. I read ...What a wonderful share. Beautiful poems. I read 'Blue Horses' aloud to my husband. I just knew he'd love it - and he did.<br /><br />I know what you mean, Shay, about knowing when a poem that you've written is unusually good. I remember reading, years ago, that addicts (regardless of the compulsion) are forever chasing the perfect high. They seldom find it, but it is the remembrance that fuels the behavior. I kind of feel that way about chasing after a really good poem … scribbling off a lot of so-so pieces in the hopes that the next one will be a really good one. For me, I absolutely know it, when it finds me: that thrill of satisfaction and slightly amazed 'Wow, did I just write that' feeling - when it all comes together - cannot be beat. I guess that makes me an incurable poem addict. ~ ha ~ <br /><br />Great job on this, Poets!Wendy Bourkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09475940407969993348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139625267522039683.post-72438254775365094842019-04-29T19:02:26.465-04:002019-04-29T19:02:26.465-04:00Thank you, Sherry.

Some things, one can't imagine ever tiring of!<br /><br />And thank you, Shay, for poems which always surprise and thrill me. I agree whole-heartedly with what the others have said. Your poetry is dazzling and unique; it turns my head inside out, pierces my heart and rejoices my spirit.

Each one is amazing and I mean every single one!! If I had to pick one person that rocked the poetry world, I would have to put her as the leader of the band! I love so many talented bloggers here at Poets United, and Imaginary Gardens, but truly I am not lying when I say, Shay's talent is truly amazing! I loved getting to read this awesome interview, and see the thought process and feeling behind the poetry.
