    Hi there,

    I wanted to ask my fellow scribblers,
    which three poems of yours feel like you hit the elusive "sweet spot"?

    There are so many wonderful poets with so many poems I'd be interested in your answers and like to read them.

    Regards LS

    What do you mean by elusive “sweet spot”?

    I think you mean like satisfied? I have several but this
    ones come to mind.

    Thank you Everlasting :)

    Yes that's exactly right, I've found after writing for a number of years that there are poems I've written that I like, some I really like but there are some that for me hit the "sweet spot" where what I've written conveys exactly what was intended and even reading back after years there is nothing I would change about it at all.

    I eagerly look forward to reading your poems, thank you for posting :)

    I’ve been thinking of this since yesterday. What I know for a fact that Im not satisfied with any of my older poems, the ones before this account.

    The first one I though of is Upset Lullaby. I like how it’s been interpreted, and how I wrote it in general:

    Also my first win after returning to PnQ, Back to the Earth which was actually written for a creative writing class:

    Another one that I can say I’m really satisfied with how it turned out and was really fun to write is a collab with hiraeth, I found you in the brume:

    I dont think we mentioned how we wrote this poem, not how normally write together, we take turns adding to the poem. But with this one we each wrote a poem with no prompt nothing in common and we combined them. Maybe whoever read it before will read it differently now :)

    By the way what’s yours?

    I love this question!
    I think my top 3 are: Crabs, Estuary, and Lonely Mountain. I went back and forth on my third choice. It was between Lonely Mountain and Kata.

    Thanks Silvershoes! There are reams and reams of poetry and i thought a little guidance from the authors would be a nice insight for us all :)

    I love these poems, two of which I'd read and can totally see why you chose these! ( I'm happy to say I favourited one already) :)

    From the poems I've posted here I think I'd say;

    Love On Druids Walk, You Spell Checked
    And the last would be either A Galatic Cliche or As Once I Ran To You.
