Very sweet. You must have told her that brevity is the key to good writing. She has done a fine job making a huge statement with very few words. I like it!
MK Townsend, I'd like to say that I'm impressed by your beautiful words. Poetry is a very special way to express yourself. Not only is it an extremely enjoyable experience to read a very good poem, but (luckily) it is also a very wonderful thing to write one that you're very happy with. Believe me, I know, and it doesn't happen all that often, but when it does, it's like fireworks! If you're interested in writing more poetry, we'd love to hear it. Also, I might suggest you try to find some poetry some of the great figures in history. A good place to start might be Robert Frost (I am a bit partial, haha). Thanks again for your wonderful poem!
Very nice, and I see a Poet Laureate here in the making. Love is the prime mover; you are quite precocious M.K. And reading Edward's comment above who is also a poet laureate in my eyes I know for sure you are definitely in fine company.
This is a beautiful poem and one that says so much with so few words! I'm proud of your daughter MK and her poetry! She shows great promise and a great understanding of the world around her! Congrats!
excellent poem and very touching. Keep up the good work because you do have talent. Thanks, for sharing this thought filled poem with us today. We need more love in this world...
MK, you are only 10, but you have received one of the highest compliments a Gather Member can receive. Ed Neudelman is our Poet Laureate so if he says you are good, believe it. Ed has the ability to look into your very soul and he recognized talent that will continue to grow. He is highly recognized, not only on Gather, but now he is going to be published. Continue writing and you will one day be able to recognize that you have inherited your father's great talent. Thank you for sharing this beautiful poem with us. God Bless You, MK

She was in and arround me today as I was "gathering" and she often reads my poems.
She, without telling me, went and wrote this.
I therefore present to you M.K. Townsend...

Beautifully stated as such simple truth abounds.
I see she is going to follow in dad's footsteps!
