sunrising sunset
sorenbarrett said:

This poem hit me in different ways. The sunrise portrayed so well the dawn of life with its promise of the future yet to come, while mid-day is the work and labor, the suffering of mid life, then comes the memories present in the evening of life. Then again the literal day is just fine too.

Hindsight is 20/20, but foresight may require a good pair of binoculars. Intriguing write my friend.

Rik: The trouble with \'screenshot and then posted as an image\' is that it doesn\'t give me access to the link at the bottom of your piece - obviously an integral part of the post.

Whose \"hope\" would not be uplifted again to look forward to new tomorrows after reading this masterful collection of metaphor - - Such a good read Rik.

\'If only\' - but it ain\'t, Rik, is it?
Fires floods and military spending...
\"Consumed in the fervent disappointment and disgust\" is me!
Well shouted.

PS: \'cryptic\' is right, mate - your piece is embedded here in such a way which makes a quick copy and paste impossible - how so? Commercial secret?

We can only hope that the tomorrow which is there now, will have learned from the past which we are today. For every moment of every day we make the future. An enigmatic and thought provoking read my good poet. Definitely a fav!

\"Personification of hope\" well stated. Hope the last to die. I loved your second stanza. It held so many great images and metaphors.

Understood completely, Rik - imagery rich; the difference between temperatures night to day can be extreme.
Sunset the gateway to relief - hopefully....

Doggerel Dave said:

Captured the essence of parting when no residual contact remains, Rik. I did manage to regain contact after 35 years once, email correspondence only, but at least the questions you pose were answered.
Deeply felt write I related to completely.

behind each poem
Bella Shepard said:

The beauty of poetry is that it does come from the heart, the mind, the soul and you have expressed this so beautifully. No fear in poetry; no inhibition, free flowing, often intimate , truthful, angry, loving, kind, understanding, every emotion you can think of. And the greatest part is that no matter what the subject, someone had a thought and had the courage to share it. A great write my friend, and a fave.

Well writ always worth bearing in mind, Rik. I should do it more often...at times I get incensed by the ideas produced under the guise of poetry.

a very meaningful poem cb. the stories behind poems are deep and people who\'ve been through different things might even understand the poems in their own way.
