All on a pleasant meadow
Alex Praw said:

Such an interesting contrast. From a pleasant meadow with lambs to hell. And it\'s you who created the picture... It\'s such a piece of art!!!

\"should\" - hasn\'t - will.
Reflection? No, definitely a refutation.
Which doesn\'t alter my intention as above.
A smooth gem full of truth - Thanks.

I am so glad that you decided to share this one. It reads so well and hits me deep. The second stanza grabbed me and said it all. I thank you for putting it in context with your note. It truly reads as a classic.

I think this is better than good. There is a poetry group called \"Rattle\". You can find them on the internet. They publish poems and award prizes. I hope you will consider sharing this poem with them.

The metaphors here are amazing. So grounded on the surface but deep upon inspection. The simple and complex united.

I liked this one and identify with parts of it
\"The walled garden
of my lover\'s heart
The vain glory
of my petty art\"
This echo\'s my own feelings very well. This piece reveals more each time it is read.

\"to die,\" \"finish me, \"petty art,\" \"shame,\" these final stanza words present a bleak sadness within your poem. Coupled with your art, which to me seemed to paint a disappearing man, added to that sadness. Yet, the skill with which you articulate the feeling shows poetic mastery. A great poem. - Phil A.

Nigerian Dream: For Christopher Okigbo
sorenbarrett said:

The evolution of social progress is so slow in comparison to technological accomplishment. This gulf has created a threat to all of humanity. Such a beautiful yet fearful dream. It appears that Hermes left only some of his scrolls and the progress of the human soul for peace and human rights is up to us to discover.
