Poet Lady Katz: new forum reply to Iam the lamp of my way

New reply from Susan Katz

<p>Very impressive poem.  I like your opening lines – they flow beautifully and set the stage for the rest of your message.  A few suggestions:  "can not" instead of "can't" – "smooth" instead of "smoothen" which does not exist in English – and separate "I" and "am" – and finally, I don't know if you need the last part of your ending line "of my dark pathway" as " "For I am the lamp" says it all.  Well done.  Your friend in poetry, Susan</p>

Iam the lamp of my way

<p style="text-align: center;">When I enter a dark pathway</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I garner light as I sway</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">For I am the lamp of my way.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">The darkness can't consume  me,</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">The deep dark cave can't hinder me.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">For Iam the lamp of my way.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">No matter how bleak and gloomy,</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Let the cave be dark and desolate,</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I can smoothen it away,</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">For Iam the lamp of my way,</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">For Iam the lamp of my dark pathway!</p>
