Once Upon a Time
Paul Bell said:
Do we ever listen to advice, I wonder?
No harm in trying though, but sometimes the rock has to hit you between the eyes till you listen.

Dear Child
Rocky Lagou said:
Lovely poem! I\'m enchanted by the fantasy-esque vibe of this poem and I love the way you personify the Earth. It reminds me of my poem \"Free me From Me\" which also touches on the beauties of life. Truly a great piece! 💞✨

thanks for sharing, dear poet

It may seem like God will never hear your words, but if you believe, as I do, that God lives in the heart of men - God IS the heart of men - then know that he has heard you, through my ears at least, and loves you

Missing You Love
C E Thomas said:
\"Dear Lord I Feel so Unhealthy. Off and On, My Whole Life I have been Wishing to Die. To Start Over. Take Me Lord. Take Me while I\'m still Young.\"
I know this feeling. I hope it helps you to write it out. You have the heart of a poet and deserve better. Know that your words can change the world for the better

I love it! Such vivid imagery. I must suggest you change the \'they\' on line 17 to \'they\'re\'. An excellent piece of work, well done!

If we think too much of what humans are we can get awfully depressed... but then we see a piece of art or hear some timeless music and maybe feel a little better....

Confused Mind
orchidee said:
A thoughtful write M.
I was confused. One said \'Just plug in the television, then watch it\'. No one told me I had to switch on the socket when I I had put the plug in. Doh! lol.
I was a \'confused laddie\' as someone said somewhere and somewhen.

Quite Insane
sylviasearcher said:
I have never seen the dead files but I can\'t help but feel that young Amy has been demonised here. To take all the blame.
The poem is good but I wondered if it were satirical?
We live in this society where people who feel deeply and follow instincts are damned. They are evil and insane.
Things are never so simple as they would seem.
It is easier to believe in insanity and witches than to question the very foundations of a society which discards non-conformists, gives up on the hopeful, demonises the non-settlers.
Unless your a wealthy man of course. Wealth and manhood that will save you from the curse.
(Sorry I believe I am projecting some very emotive personal thoughts on your poetry... At least that shows the power of the story you told)
Best wishes
Sylvia (aka an insane witch)

The darker tone constantly being subdued by the optimistic point of view is refreshing. Nicely done.
