The poem is an excellent example of how simplicity can sometimes be the most powerful tool in poetry.

Girl With a Blue Vase
Doggerel Dave said:
A vivid mental picture is evoked by your words, Neville. Rich in detail, the background would imply Africa – correct?
Now curious, I gave Prof Google a spin. Keywords ‘drought 2016’ yielded many claims, with Africa well down the list.
Reentry ‘drought 2016 africa’… apparently large swathes of Africa have and are suffering long term drought, although 2016 was particularly severe…
Great painting there. Word strokes more than do the job.

Girl With a Blue Vase
MendedFences27 said:
Seems more like a memory of the girl and not the vase, but that may be intentional. Somehow, I think, there is a connection between unavailability of water and the same of the girl. Someone from a memory now fading to \"silhouette.\"
Not long forgotten nor fresh and alive either. A poem that is recollection mixed with desire? Or a long-ago memory slowly being lost to time? Thoroughly enjoyable. - Phil A

As Free As a Proverbial Bird

Brilliant!
(we regurgitate, societal mindset chains
accosted, by external opinions
before
we\'ve learnt, to compose
thought
\'I think therefore I...\' wat bulshit
for what, is thought
how free
those insipid cacophonous, images and words
we\'re subjected, to
by our environment\'s, insidious intent...
intellect, as pathological back-stories
to neurotically, elitist mindsets;
empathetical heart\'s, decimated by the trust
they foolishly gift, to those
who view kindness, as a weakness to exploit;
Nature\'s callous indifference
that veracity of existence, we crave
to forget
those birds, we depict our notion of freedom
upon
living life, while ever
dodging looming shadows, of fate\'s
skydiving hunters
no dear Poet supreme
threads to that, true
emancipation of self
exists in your poetry\'s, veracity
of vulnerability:
\'As free
as the wind
but with nowhere
to blow ..\'
who needs, wings
when we can soar, weightless
by just looking within
excavating, within self reflection
that we most cherish, in life
not
what we\'ve been, programmed
to blindly, value and trust!)

The poem\'s conclusion suggests that true freedom may not be found in the absence of constraints, but in the ability to transcend them and move beyond the limits of our physical existence.

Someone once said, when asked about his commitments, \"I\'m retired, I don\'t have commitments.\" Sort of aligns with your sense of freedom. We don\'t truly want to be \"birds\" (short life span) but to enjoy their freedom of flight. Well expressed and relevant. - Phil A.

Sounds like a bitter end to a relationship, by text no less. Your poem paints a clear image of one anxious to get out of town, and hopeful to leave behind a bit of bitterness. Love that he wants her to look in the mirror. A bit of reflection never hurts. - Phil A.

\'compelled

your great

tall cheval mirror

each word aloud ..
Louder

a prayer even ..\'
pulls at those empathy heartstrings
even devoid of full clarity to meaning
the electric intimacy and sparkling imagery
insures these words resonate, deep
