The good ones suffer the most, but at the end nothing is lost if goodness is all you have. Great poem David!

The Train to Treblinka.

Holocaust narratives are both harrowing and cleansing. I am glad that there is room for this in poetry as there seem to be few things that can be done for something vital in humanity\'s history as it grows further away from our consciousness with each passing year. Thanks for sharing.

The Train to Treblinka.
TobaniNataiella said:
For me a very emotional and touching piece that is very close to my heart, relating to the horrific, cold, dark and savage times of our past. Written with care and feeling for a subject that is still a nightmare for many.

Cold, dark. haunting. A story that I hope I never have to hear again. It chills the heart.

A woven contrast of the legacies of the \'good\' the \'nice\' and the \'meek.\' I also liked the hope and promise of the \'emerald sea.\' Finally there is something to take away with the insight of kindness and humility that brings an openness and leniency in others towards us.

I find this quite a thought provoking piece, in a nice way. I enjoyed the read and will wait to be released on good behaviour

Good, nice, meek. The sermon on the mount comes to mind and he did walk on water. I like the opening statement that the good don\'t die at all then the follow up that it is the nice that die young while the meek inherit nothing. So true it is. Very nicely worded David

Oh beauty! I didn’t know what they were called. Had them to brighten the narrow patio while we lived overseas for half a dozen years. And now all the memories come flooding back! What I do understand is how the Gazanias and our potted garden distracted me from homesickness. Your latest offering has struck a sentimental chord!

Silly, white parrot… must be a cockatoo. The mirroring effect is staying in my afterthought! Having been on such walks myself…at least there is no white flag of surrender to be had save a squawking bird. In an atypical way that puts things into perspective.

A ,lovely poem if a little on the dark side, raising situations we have all been in at some stage, just asking questions out loud in the hope there is a miracle answer, at least on this occasion a good memory came out of it ( The Bird). Really enjoyed the read

A wonderful poem with a great analogy that speaks to a place that many of us have been and dredges up old feelings and fears. It has a feel of darkness to it but I love the night.

As all great stories of drama extreem passion is accompanied by extreem actions and consequences. A love story well told with great use of names to make it authentic and the end with a most intriguing and thought provoking message
