I liked this alot. That last stanza really brought the poem together. You've done a great job on this! Keep it up! 5/5

Wonderful Ang! i love this stanza:
bulldozers and cranes
knocking down an old building
traffice moving along the road
people talking, children laughing
it shows how things change, and childhood memories remain, and how kids are experiencing similar things that you went through. Least thats what I got from it. take care XXXXX

Woohoo! Way to go Mom!!
haha, I liked the 3rd stanza. I remember that clearly. Watching all the construction where I lived, and passing by in our car, and having a good time. Good memories.

Ohhhh yes you are Loved!!! I love you woman and so does our God..I loved how peaceful this poem was, I could picture me sitting there beside you because the imagery you use is so well written!!! I loved how quick this was as well...point was stated clearly and everything flowed great!
Love you woman 5/5

p.s I want to write a collab with you again hehe (third times a charm..please think of an idea..i'm out!) MWAH

I thought it was fair, but then again I only see my own perspective of poetry. And if this is how you write, I respect that.

Angela, I really enjoyed your poem. Yes, noise of any kind is welcome to some and to some silence is like a curse. Wonderful imagery. Thanks!

Nice poem, really enjoyed it!

Ending is very effective. Powerful poem, topic is great and you wrote this piece superbly. Very unique and imagery is excellent.
Well done!

Another great write.

I love your title, because it implies you are going to then make a list in your poem, or explain what you are through answers, but also, it really emphasises the point of your poem, and that is exactly that... that you are.

I love the contrasts in this one too, how you describe the noises you hear and how they are all different, children laughing, but also the bulldozers, such a different extreme of noise and yet you are grateful for them all, grateful for all that is around you.

The opening stanza really gives that feeling of somewhere nice, a beautiful summer day and that feeling of being relaxed when you simply just live in the moment and look around for reason to appreciate what we have and that we are here, alive.

You are right about one thing = you are strong and most definitely loved!
