Fantastic symbolism! We disappear when significant persons disappear from our lives and I could just imagine if this happened physically - like a sci-fi Twilight Zone type of film scenario. Good stuff here!

They say pray for what you need, I say wishful thinking by itself may do little but if you want it bad enough you will find a way. A great message in a surreal story

Very nice David you have captured virtues in each and I love them just for their natural beauty. Always have loved flowers if they are good enough for the bees they are good enough for me. Nicely written, it is not easy to incorporate so many names in one poem

These I have yet to properly learn having undergone an impoverished tutelage of bloom and green. My love of gardening the only redeeming thing in this scenario.

The last four lines in this poem were my favorite. This poem weeps with tragic sorrow of disillusion. Very powerful

In most cases more than answers and logic; gentleness and listening companionability goes the distance, let compassion reign!

The Miracle.

All of life is quite the sacred dance, it’s probably when we ‘wake’ that a pause occurs, until the music begins once more.

You have hit upon an often neglected issue recognizing our past mistakes. The metaphor of the parrot was masterful and well crafted as well as poetic. The contrast of white at night was one thing, a parrot flighing at night is out of the normal and to be lost for a bird would only be understandable at night. It serves as a great symbol here. Returning to the past life and becoming content recognizing what one once had, Gratitude such a commonly neglected issue. Very nicely constructed with a good message.

Wow. This is awesome. Like by line loaded to effect in charmingly rhymed alternating couplets communicating a mouthful, the impact resonates beyond this page, so excellently rendered with superb imagery. Thank you so very much for sharing.

That was good stuff. Both the poem and what ever you smoked before you wrote it. Full of wild images that fell out like a drunk from a phone booth. Lovely

A most interesting tribute so to speak. It has that tongue in cheek kind of attitude.

The Truth
sorenbarrett said:
The first sentence is my favorite line. Powerful and unexpected but rings true. An unconventional look at the issue of God or no God and what follows psychologically. Very well done

Tribute to a part of us we often take for granted unil we loose it. Some powerful lines (a tool to pluck the eye when sorrow is past thought) great use of opposites (and build by its destruction) Very nicely done.
