I Was Not Taken Poem by Will Barber

A very fine write, Will. Don

A very powerful piece Will, thanks for sharing it,10 Lynda x

Makes you wonder if anything we do is ever recognized by the 'powers that be'. We muddle through our foggy lives with bits of sunshine here and there, and the only truths are what we conclude on our own. This is a wonderful piece, Will. Linda :)

Will, you took the words right out of my mouth... but naturally composed them infinitely more eloquently. t x

Dear Will Ever since we be-friended each other on this site, I must say that I have come to respect and admire you, firstly as a person and secondly as a poet, How can this be? well! I see you through your words as a man of integrity and brillance! ! ! I could only hope to be half the man you have come to be Love and full respect, , , duncan

how true this seems for me...wonderful work, Will. your eloquence is astoundingly memorable. -Tailor

sometimes in life, we got to do things that we hate to do, but that's life.if only we been given certain options to avoid them, the world gonna be the best place to live ever.poor thing that's not the picture that we want, so we got to do what we got to do.great write Will.

A 10 from me as well, Will! This is wonderful! Very strong writing and excellent flow. I loved this oen!

Wouldn't it be nice if life was fair for everyone. I suppose most of us would be better off, but I think that poetry would surely suffer. We'd probably miss out on great stuff like yours, Will. Excellent write!

Sir Will Many dare but only few really become authentic poets as you are! Your way of striking the right note of a thought is admirably brilliant sir. Marvin(a fan)
