As for patience, there is no being a writer without it and it comes from deep inside and requires a bit of faith, that something is worth waiting for. Loved the poems you shared.

My apologies but I figured I would post because I finally feel like I'm getting over my jet lag (patience) and I'm not that late with my poetry. I am so happy you are experiencing continued success with your work! Thank you for the inspiration you share (and for hosting Poetry Friday this week).

We had some here at the end of the week, and our searing summer suddenly became much more pleasant. <3 Thank you for hosting!

Most gratifying, no doubt. Thank you for the thought-provoking poems on patience. Patience is the art of hoping, they say. I have found it to be somewhat mercurial in nature. We must consciously practice if we wish to improve. A timely reminder of our respective challenges. Thank you also for hsoting.

It's something that's been on my mind lately. Don't worry about the work you want or wish to do -- you're already doing it. This is something I'm telling myself. Congratulations for doing the work that gains this kind of recognition. You know I've got to have that star poem in my notebook. Thanks for that and for hosting this week's round up.
