		<description>Hi s Michelle:

It&#039;s funny as I drive around and see all the major changes in the cityscape, it&#039;s many of the little things that speak loudly to me. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Sorry I was late checking the comments. Not sure why yours got hung up. I hope you don&#039;t mind that I took the liberty of combining both your comments.

		<description>Shari,
This coaxed a big smile from me. The familiarity of home, bells welcoming, how even the everyday ordinary can cause the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. Reading this made the hairs on the back of my neck stand at attention. I also love the confidence of the speaker&#039;s voice, such quiet strength.

The confidence rings true in this piece, I like it all Shari.</description>

		<description>Shari,
what a clever piece.  I really like your word choices, simple, but highly effective.  You nailed that 1st stanza</description>

		<description>Nice, Shari! I really like the ending and its shifting through &quot;poetical fodder.&quot; Hopefully, you&#039;ll find the fertile soil to produce more great poetry! Thanks for sharing!</description>

		<description>Great poem! I completely relate to it. As much as we don&#039;t like so much of what goes on in the world it does give us fodder with which to write. Beautifully expressed here... </description>

		<description>What can I say? Nursery rhymes, fables and songs run around in the background of my mind and occasionally come out to play. I appreciate your comment.</description>

		<description>Hi, Tre. It was longer. Deciding on a Haiku form was an intriguing challenge. I&#039;m glad you liked it. Thanks for visiting and sharing.</description>

		<description>A twist on the Itsy, Bitsy Spider and it was definitely worth the read. I could see the action taking place in each line. Definitely a sound version of an old nursery rhyme.</description>
