Only four letters
Spring eternal, if there's life,
Often, all we need
*
Only four letters,
Burden the deliverer
Unnecessary

Thanks for reading!

I like the first one particularly! ☺️ So…..I’m worried I may have offended u when I said I didn’t finish your book as yet a couple of weeks ago - as I haven’t heard from you as much. Admittedly, I’m well behind in your current output on here too..so maybe that is why and I’m just being my paranoid self. Just Stephen commented on your reminder to review piece etc and now I feel extra bad. I do get super distracted ..I leave books half read lying around all over the house ALL the time..it’s a nasty habit, but I do get back to them and I will yours. I even dug it out a box of books tonight..as I had to clean up for a house inspection recently to make sure I hadn’t trashed the joint! Anyway I am like an all in kind of guy, and if I am gonna do a review I wanna say what my favourites were etc. & have actually read it!
Brilliant! Hope vs hate juxtaposition in just a few well crafted lines!
This was so powerful Sir Paul! I freaking loved it! 🍩🥐
Love? 🥴
A great reminder of how powerful language is and why it matters how we employ it. Great poems, Paul!
So strong and in your face. I loved it.
Superb! Profound. I loved it, great job!❤️
