When it's time for us to receive...to take in the gifts that others have come into our lives to bring.
We can always turn to the Poets that are Storytellers. There are many on this Steemit platform that can truly warm our hearts and make our day. I am speaking from experience. There have been numerous times when I have given myself 10 minutes to browse Steemit before I get back to doing some work and my day was totally altered when I got drawn in by a poem that told a story that stuck with me.
These are the artist in the catagory of Poetry that caught my eye this week.

Talking about keeping it real. We are too stuck in techno gadgets, and life is just passing us by. We are distracted and we gradually become like the gadgets that we give so much of our time to.
Stuck in a cyberspace world, we soon forget the true-true. We forget that what makes life real is those precious moments that happen in an instance and sometimes if we blink we miss them forever.
What if, these moments were only meant to live in a given space of time and they appeared especially for us, but because we were on the phone we missed it and from that moment we will move on in life limping through because we missed what would have made us not only stand up straight, and get up off the ground and fly but we were meant to go on to soar which now we will never do, because we missed the moment as we texted on by.....
My personal reply to Hypnotized by
By reading your words I feel I know you, which makes me love you and everything you do. This poem is so to the heart of how so many of us are living. My favorite line in this one is "put the phone down for a minute, please look me in the eyes." Awesome. I hope the world is listening.....

This is such a lovely piece. Joy had filled my heart before I got halfway through it. I want say anything more about this poem. I will just say to all, click the link and read it. So lovely
Oh but I must say this, from reading the poem 10117, the message was conveyed.
Love should having staying power. It should not fade when we disagree. Love is not a game or a competition, its something we share.
My Favorite line:
"Words aren't needed to tell you what is true
If I can still love me, I can love you."
My Personal Reply to 10117

The three lines that can be so soul stirring, especially if If you've lived through this...
"When trust is gone and hope is lost
What are we fighting for and who really pays the cost?
When you tell us you're sorry but you do it again...
My Personal Reply to
Thank you for speaking the rhythmic flow of dysfunctional relationships. I have had some of these experiences, down through the years.
