A Seamstress\'s Courage
Cassie58 said:
A Tale of Two Cities, Charles Dickens. Sydney Carton being the hero. Taking the place of his beloved’s husband. He also offered comfort to the seamstress before they both met their fate. What a book, what a celebration of English Literature and you have composed a very fine poem here, inspired by that classic. Well done arqios.

In this a hint of Dickens and a tale of two cities. Heroism is always inspirational and at the heart of many a poem. Well told and in poetic story form. Nicely done my friend

Einstein said ‘ I don’t think of the future, I’ll happen soon enough’.
I’m more or less the same , Without the Mad Hair.
As always your Poems are very
‘Deep’ and full of Meaning.

As Emily Dickinson said, ‘There is no frigate like a book to take us lands away’.
Your words became a bit ‘Hypnotic’ as I went along, telling me ‘Read a Book’.
Which is one of my Loves.
Just finished ‘A Christmas Carol’, I like to read it every December .
A unique way to express Reading in a Poem. Nice One.

With age comes wisdom. Perhaps one of the wisdoms is to live in the present. The numbers do not matter. The poem gave me a feeling of being carefree but with grace. Really enjoyed it

I\'m so very deeply sorry for your loss my mother was 64 my own brother was just 25 sometimes I write about it, you do well in your wisdom and advice in my case I didn\'t get to say goodbye to either of my special people, I guess we can call it living without the very thought that it would be the last time, it happens every time anyone says goodbye, and we should all be grateful that we have this life in the first place. sending love and hugs 🌹

Ah...I remember when youth drug...now time seems non-existent! LOL! Either way, it is the journey we are on and I find myself embracing it, removing my foot off of the gas or breaks and coasting!

I am surrounded by young people. I wouldn’t want to go back, but neither do I want to fast forward. I no longer celebrate birthdays. Age is irrelevant. My inner child is still very much present. I have lost so many loved ones before their time, that I consider myself fortunate. The wrinkles, don’t bother me much, they tell me I have lived, my granddaughter helps choose my clothes, I try very much to live in the moment but need to work on it more. I don’t feel any different than I did decades ago. I am content with what I have got. Your poem arqios, made me take stock. We all need to do that from time to time to truly appreciate our blessings.

This poem and principally its title left a feeling of care free. I live in the moment and so to me a decade is only seen retrospectively and it seems that it was only yesterday. A intriguing poem Cryptic

For example, I can see a future in which everyone realizes that nuclear waste is inappropriate for final disposal sites and dumps it in the ocean, but will I find like-minded people?

A wonderful expression. Agreed. Whatever one does...read! 🌹👏 That said, I just saw your away notice. My condolences, arqios, on the loss of your cousin. What sad news indeed.

Reading opens up new worlds for exploration. Lose yourself in a book of poetry. Let all your senses carry you as you travel in another’s words. Let your emotions run wild and free. Be inspired and reach for the sky. You’ll never be lonely with a book. Enjoyed my visit here arqios.

Everyone thinks that poets are expressionless when they write poetry, but there are probably emotions in their souls. It will serve as a guidepost to help you reach the creativity deep within the maze.

Agreed it is in reading that we broaden our minds and too few people now days read at all. Books have become a past time to gather dust. Sad.

One of the things I was thinking I ought to do this year, not as a resolution (because those are made to be broken) but as a soft nudge of my psyche and soul…and that is to dive deeper into meditation. Such beneficial practice, imho. Anywho, wonderful poem that brings meditation and self-discovery to my mind. 🌹👏
