A Lifted Life of Leisure

[YaMarVa]

This was your 9th poem, but you've made a hundred some poems. I knew you had more than nine.

Where did you meet the Romantic American contemporaries? I'd like to know more about them.

I am an American romantic (write about what you know), and I would guess that some of my friends would consider themselves to be one too.
TR comes to mind as an American Romantic, I wish he where my friend and contemporary.

For this being a poetry editing board, you sure comment about a lot of stuff not related to the poem I submitted for review. I also feel I am playing to your sarcasm, which at least cures my boredom.

Editing clearly is not my strong point, as I am new to poetry and writing as a whole (this was my 9th poem).

Well, you're in luck, then, because it is part of my profession--spotting grammatical, orthographical and general linguistic errors...and when not work-related, keeping them like deep, dark secrets to myself, because people get really bent out of shape when you correct their language.

IMO, more important than a person's current level of writing or editing skills, is their desire to improve their skills, so I'm glad you didn't get upset by my comments, because it speaks well of you and, secondly, because, like I said, I don't like to draw attention to grammar and spelling and other linguistic errors, not just on this site, but generally in life, because it brings about such a negative response from people.

Dark secrets! I like that.

Unlike other posters on many internet boards, I appreciate the editing (why I am here). Please continue to freely critique any of my work as I know you provide honest review.
