he caught her
Neville said:

This is clearly the poem you referred to recently.. in your review comments on my poem Blink.. Then you said it is not one of your best.. I beg to differ, I think it is sound and otherwise most original... Neville

Chaos is life, life is chaos, whichever path is taken then be prepared for it to come and cause the inner self-afflictions which never would occur until they really happen. However, there are moments of chaos tiring to let leave a rest for you heart. A lovely thought provoking chaotic poem.

Neville said:

An emotionally charged poem indeed, made even more so by virtue of the fact it is clearly about a child\'s significant, tragic and otherwise unexpected loss, furthermore, the impact is accentuated by the narrative appearing to be expressed by the bereaved child\'s daddy...... Neville

That is exactly where i was coming from in writing this. Trying to take my reader out of their western comfort zone and to think.
I believe that short pieces are more powerful than a multi verse piece \"less is more\".

Suresh said:

We, in the West, get enraged, and rightly so, when incidents like Sandy Hook happen, and its impact on especially the young.
But, there are similar incidents, a million times more deadly, taking place, day after day, when bombs rain in from the sky, or massacres by radicals. Their trauma is unthinkable, unbearable and eternally scarring. We, humans, are our worst enemies, and in spite of being the intelligent species, we remain ignorant.

dusk arising,

I sincerely hope she’s okay!

Your write made me think of Antonio (AV) and his unfortunate demise!

What made you think of her?

dusk arising said:

And thank you very much for reminding me of Renzi. i am going to re-publish this same poem again today in a plea to those on here who know how to contact her. Hoping we may see some of her work again and hear of her well being.

Neville said:

I never knew her, or had the pleasure of her words but I have known a few Renzi\'s and I don\'t mean that to appear flippant... There are some folk who for one reason or another, tend to have a marked, even profound effect on those who encounter them during the course of their lives... some of these same folk have personal issues that may serve as a creative driver.. whatever the case, Renzi is a much admired individual whose talent obviously brought a little sunshine into the lives of so many... I can only conclude by wishing her well and emphasising that whilst eating disorders are never, if ever resolved overnight, I have personally worked with so many over the years who have responded positively to appropriate interventions and support.... Oh\' and thanks Dusk Arising for introducing me to a fine fellow poet..... Neville

keeping it to myself
kevin browne said:

i see the love fading away from you in your work. Normally when this happens the intentions of what you\'ve lost will come back sometime. Deepening is the thought of how to change the aspect of something feeling sad, lost, and lonely can actually turn out to be something unsuspectingly, and surprisingly good because love mostly returns upon a summers day when you least expect it. One day the clouds will clear through the sunlight of your perception to reveal a landscape of thought so intrinsically beautiful that you will almost declare yourself a God. Take your losses in your hand and throw them far away. That way you can catch your new falling star to brighten up your belief in love.

this is an excellent tribute to all those who made the supreme sacrifice and of course all those who were prepared to do so, but were able to return.... N

Yes, when we\'re indoors, the world is all \'out there\'. Sometimes things are not as bad as we may think they will be.
