      Thanks John for sharing Brenda's response to her own word prompt week 36. I enjoyed reading all the poems. Fake it till you make it is a good theory. The quotes are meaningful too.

   I enjoyed reading Brenda's response to the word prompt, 'Strength'.
   I liked the idea of faking strength: 'we fake it til we make it.'
   I enjoyed reading all of the poems as well as the quotes.
   
   Thank you for sharing this, John. I'm not sure why Brenda's article didn't appear in my feed and why I didn't receive an email notification. That's weird. My feed often gets frozen. Nothing seems to shuffle. I have no clue why.
   
   Happy weekend!

                  I couldn’t have said it better myself. I have been here 12 years and am still here, so I am hard to get rid of..a bit like a barnacle.
                  I have put “Poems From the Porch” on hold for a bit unfortunately, but maybe I will write them and just hold off on the publishing for a while. Or maybe I should do one and see how it goes, but most of the fun is reading people’s reactions to the poems I write for them.

                     I'm hoping that everything will be fine soon. It's always a pleasure to read Poems from the Porch. It's painful when you write something on readers' request and those readers are unable to comment on that piece. I can imagine how that will feel.

   Love is the most important word in action in the world. All creatures are glued together with love.
   Love is when two people or thing are stronger together than apart. With many kinds of love and many acts of kindness.
   
   Thanks for sharing your poems. Not ever enough love going around.
