Creative, original: ..and full of your wonderful imagination. Not an unhealthy thought to have, at the least. How they do dance together, in the breeze. ; )

I think you do have it in: I think you do have it in you, because you wrote the poem about it.

Also, I enjoyed the: Also, I enjoyed the symmetrical design of the poem. That was a nice added touch.

An astute observation about: An astute observation about the writing process. While at work, the poem was all yours. You could tinker with it, smash it to bits, build it back up again. You could do whatever you damn well pleased with it. But once published, it no longer belongs to you. It is now the property of the world. So of course you, its creator, wonders if the creation is Shelley's monster or a force for good. I enjoyed this, quite relatable.

Yeah, I hear ya Evan.: Yeah, I hear ya Evan. Sometimes a poem is what it is and will unfold as we write it, no matter how much we may try to make it conform to specific structures.

Oh, pardon for the mistaken: Oh, pardon for the mistaken identity but the sentiment remains. On a side note, a sister of mine is named Millie and she is no bull terrier, more of a poodle perhaps.

Bard,   It's funny, I wanted: Bard,   It's funny, I wanted to turn this into a sonnet but after the first quatrain, nothing else wanted to be written. Glad you enjoyed it!

Oh well, somewhere sometime: Oh well, somewhere sometime it has been said that we are best not to look at our weaknesses through our strengths, it is hardly fair or beneficial. Failed is quite a strong word. We do well to work with what we are aware of and allow the rest to reveal themselves to us as we go along our journey of life. Pardon if that may sound sanctimonious, but there is beauty where it is seen. And my thanks for keeping your poems available.

Thank you kindly.: This is one of my few scratchings I don't automatically hate. Maybe it was the simplicity and not trying so hard to emulate my heroes.

Cheers: Thank you for your kind words. I know my strengths lie more as a critic first and failed poet second (sorry Eliot/Tchaikovsky I'm mature so I'll steal ).

Thank you! Sentiments appreciated. : Alas no, that is my 15 yr old cat. Still going strong despite his weight issues. Millie was a Bull terrier x English staffy.

Is that her in your profile: Is that her in your profile photo? This is horrible for that to happen. Gruesome. Sympathies (however belated)

The build up was growing in: The build up was growing in intensity and capped off with a solid and definite last stanza. A true call to arms of sorts and quite persuasive. Planting and reaping all the way!
