The Child Is Working Right now
L. B. Mek said:
centuries later and your words
poignantly, reminded me - of both:
Elizabeth Browning\'s \'The cry of the children\'
\'Do ye hear the children weeping, O my brothers,
Ere the sorrow comes with years?
They are leaning their young heads against their mothers---
And that cannot stop their tears.\'
( https://mypoeticside.com/show-classic-poem-4257 )..
*and William Blake\'s \'London\'
\'A mark in every face I meet,
Marks of weakness, marks of woe.
In every cry of every man,
In every infant\'s cry of fear,
In every voice, in every ban,
The mind-forged manacles I hear:
How the chimney-sweeper\'s cry
Every blackening church appals,\'

...
*how depressingly, morose
this modernity - of reality
we all yearn: to hide from...*
thanks for sharing, dear empathetic poet

A Eulogy for Narcissus
L. B. Mek said:
ouch, that I can so easily imagine someone writing this about me has me shuddering,
a great write!..
crazy how intention\'s can be so misleading,
Narcissus, mythology\'s icon for selfishness
while that namesake Daffodil: is appreciated universally
for its symbolic virtues of Spring-like: bright and joyful yellow colour
lauded as an icon of new beginnings and rebirth..
time eh: how it distorts perspectives
based on POV\'s conveniently: self-serving angles...

A Consolation
🐤s.zaynab.kamoonpuri🌷🐦😽 said:
A love wilted and dried and perhaps unable to spark because it\'s ignited with someone else, common story in many parts of the world that you tell so awesomely in fab rhyming. Kudos for this superb poem.
Pls Pleez do read and comment my newest poem too.

why i don\'t cry
Goldfinch60 said:
Crying may not fix anything but it is a great release of emotion from within your heart.

Blissful Solus
Nicholas Browning said:
Reading this felt like punching someone you really don\'t like in the cranium. It\'s great. Being alone gives many blessings, but drawbacks as well. Over the course of a few years I\'m beginning to think I enjoy it more than being around other people though. \"In a crowded room, I am still all by myself.\" Wonderful write, and the philosophy behind it is even better. Well done.
