I really like this poem, Martin. Life is indeed a work in progress, and the idea of no borders and communication building bridges between all kinds of people is wonderful.

Thank you very much, Greg. As you say, a poem is never finished and this one is niggling at me. There's something not quite 'right' about it. It's not bad, but neither is it good. I'll keep at it though, as I'm a terrier when it comes to my poems. Good enough isn't good enough!

A very fine poem, Martin. Wonderful sentiments, and satisfyingly crafted, too. I see it's 'work in progress' ... well, they do say a poem is never finished. But this one already looks good to me.

Thank you very much indeed for your kind comment, Hélène. Yes, we need to talk to each other much more, especially we writers. Language is the glue which holds society together, don't you think?
