lionladroar, I'm afraid that I have run the full range of tears at one time or another.  Beautiful poem.

And you have been on my People list virtually from the start.
You're still there now. Is it likely I would try to piss you off? Just remember that just as you might be emotional, so are others. Criticism of that sort you dished out is out of order - you would have done better to email me with your concerns. I am approachable too!

Hi Mike
Sorry if I touched a raw nerve with my comment. I was trying to go that extra mile for once, as sometimes we tend to just say, 'Well done' and all that kind of thing. I wasn't questioning your character or the poem, it led me on to make a somewhat philosophical observation about the need to control those emotions most of the time. The world is a hard place and often we would like to cry, but men especially seem to lose that childish trait when they get to puberty. I thought I was being neutral. Also admittedly I'd had a beer so maybe wasn't as careful in how I worded it as I could be. You in turn, Mike, must be careful, because while my comments were neutrally worded but misunderstood, you have actually used the words 'childish games' in connection with my comments, and possibly (altho in normal circumstances I wouldn't have commented on it) made a disparaging comment about my job. I was going to email you, but you have implied that we shouldn't do that, and so I have to defend myself here. Mind you, this is an old post so hopefully only you will see it. If you do, I don't mind if you email me direct, to guarantee that I see it. Or you could pop into my site and leave a comment there if you prefer. One sad thing about Blogit I'm gradually learning is that comments can be very hurtful when read in 'print' on the screen, when you can't see the person and judge the meaning as you would in conversation. Perhaps precisely because we are writers, we are egotistical and emotional - all of us. For my part I have always thought you were a nice guy and still do. However, Mike, you must realise the consequences of lashing out in public like this. It doesn't look good and spoils the enjoyment of Blogit. So I want you to know and hopefully to admit to me that you misinterpreted my comments, and will do me the courtesy of not construing any future remarks I make as hostile. I do not go onto anyone's site and make hostile remarks, I have not done this even once, to anyone. If I comment at all, it's because I like the work or interacting with the person and giving them support. I don't leave comments or even visit sites where I don't feel that the writer is supportive of me, or likes to pick arguments with anyone, whether me or others. Why argue? It's bloody pointless. Blogit, to my mind, is not a truly objective group of reviewers, but a supportive community of genuine writers, whether commercially successful or not. By visiting people, I'm supporting them. Criticism and argument on Blogit has always been something I have found childish, to use your word. And who is the offender who gossips in emails? Is that aimed at me too? Again, possibly a public slur. Really Mike, you can't have it both ways. Be friendly if you want friendliness back. You thought I insulted you so you insulted me. I did not insult you or your work. I hope you are not insulted by this, because I restate that I like your work and your comments are always fun, too.

Thank you Troosha for your advice friend

I am fine mam I have a good imagination and no regret, except for loosing my cool friend, I don't like playing childish mind games lets see what's all the fuss is about, put it on the table, thats all I ask ! No more.

Like I have said before nobodies perfect. If I write of walking on the moon , I don't ponder the fact if people are going too believe it ? I just hope they enjoy it. If somebody want's too spend time looking into my truths I ask myself why ? I don't know them from Adam, I am not doing business with them, so as far as I am concerned their Nosey!

I don't charge people for pictures or photos if they ask for them ? I am always courteous when I review others and I mind my own business. Always have, first thing you learn round my neck of the woods.

I don't send people E.mails talking a bout others here on blogit, I only reply if I get one . If somebody wants too know something about me, they should ask me yes ? Not all huddle together like a load of Kids in the playground, whispering.

I have know intension of becomiming part of the incrowd, I just came here too learn from others and am doing so every day! From the bottom of my heart I thank the kind people of blogit , have never hid from that fact, like I have said before if it weren't for Microsoft word I wouldn't be posting some truths and fiction now ! Hope you understand mam, I write story poems, somewith truth some not, never think because I mention regret in a poem thats me, its a poem. Thank you! Michael, he whom minds his own business

Thank you Tony for your wisdom and understanding Sir
I 'am a emotional man always have been, I cry easily also very sensitive and have noticed that trait in most poets and artists I have taken advice from, you mention honest, I am wondering on that comment Tony or am I suffering with paranoia? If not and their is something you would like explaining about myself just ask ! I am approachable, if about some of my writings read the part about me and my imagination but lets stop playing childish games friend. Waiting on your reply Mike ps also remember you are a tax-man friend, I'm not that honest. . .

Thanks for sharing

Since the poem talks about "blue", let me give you a rare gift. The rarest butterfly, Palos Verdes Blue. Shalom my friend, and may His Grace merge with your smiling face, spreading more warmth and quiet strength to all your loved ones. Neil

Hate those blue days but your poem offers hope that the tears can be dried.  Wouldn't want to wallow in regret....been there.

Hi Mike
Tears of anger, sorrow and love. We are still children inside, the child is the man. Good emotional outpouring, if only we could be as honest. Or maybe we need to be in control of these feelings? Otherwise where would we be, i don't know.

you expressed a range of feelings in a lovely colourful way.
I like the last bit about anger and regret because it is so true, it is easy to explode and regret it, once we calm down... hope you are not feeling blue today, but a happy shade of your favourite colour.
