Well, I don't agree with Norticus. I work as a waitress and go to school... and it's tough getting up at 5 am to go to school, leave there at 4 go to work pull a five to six hour shift on my feet, go home and do homework... get to bed by one... get up the next morning and do it all again. All for a little over minimum wage... and basically no tips because people don't think to leave any money... (Hey you guys!!! Don't forget to tip your waitresses!!! We need the tip money!!! It pays our bills!!!) Thanks for writing something that other people wouldn't.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
