Matrimonial Misfire

I could see the battle rage before me enemy entrenched on high ground Sun Tzu would predict defeat. A suicide charge like Pickett at Gettysburg trying to hold out like Leonidas and the 300 Spartans at Thermopylae. I felt that I had been there.Well written

This is a very deep well you have dug. You have approached this from a most unique path. I love this approach. You have put in poetic form not only Robert Frost\'s The road less taken but expanded upon it. Very nice now it is my turn to be jealous.

Beautifully written a statement of how things are seen as right or wrong and by whom. Full of great metaphor it rings true.

The Why Begins to Show
sorenbarrett said:

This poem is a quiet small pond that is deceptively deep. Several metaphorical clues are left along the way as guide posts and as it unravels. Reincarnated, resurected call it what you may how does one differ from the other life and what is the purpose. Each belief has its own answer (one eye) no one is certain no on is sure. I\'m not sure my interpretation applies. Never the less very nicely done

A poem that begins dark with many shadows, but soon shows the break of day and ends with the dawning of the sun. Nicely said.

Finally brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think of these things.

How To Grow Old
sorenbarrett said:

When younger I thought of some day growing older. I blinked and now I am older and I reflect upon the end. But the end of one thing is the beginning of another and so life goes on, A very reflective write Dan.

How To Grow Old
Cassie58 said:

When sleep evades there is plenty of time to reflect on the passing of the years and the aging process. I am right with you there, being an insomniac myself. I rarely find answers though, just more questions and one thing I am sure of I am determined to make each day count. A thoughtful and reflective write Dan. Nicely conveyed. Have a happy Sunday.

Crescendo

This poem is full of wonderful lines and is said in a musing manner as if the author is drifting in thought. I loved its casual nature and unhurried pace. Lovely

As usual, there is a significant amount of philosophy and wisdom in this poem.“There is clarity in defeat missing from triumph “ This statement rings, true as does the next follow up line. “ Which often grows murky as it ages”. They are very nice images as well and overall the whole poem was quite poetic. A very enjoyable read.

I love this one Dan it is an anthropomorphic metaphor of life itself. Cute and fun. They put a smile on my face. Unfortunately it is more true than Fabel. Nicely done.

Yes, you could tidy this up into a different, more acceptable form but the message is great. Thank you for sharing.
