The Eternal Miracle of a Poet
Michael Edwards said:
My poems are held hard copy in several albums - I often wonder what my successors will make of them. Probably think I\'m a tad eccentric - wonder if they\'ll boast about their weird ancestor - great write by the way.

Easy Fave Teddy, liked as well... also observed that all these reach us via some sense, be it hearing or seeing, etc... and the thought of being without our senses was a brutal reality check. My latest post is about walking and I realised that not everyone does walk by choice of by circumstance. Ah well... I\'ve begun to ramble on... 🙏🏻🕊️

The Burns in Me
Thoughtless said:
I often quoted Robert Burns to my wife when first we met. She was descended from English royalty on \"the wrong side of the bed.\" Our favorite play was the Barretts of Wimpole Street. My wife was five years my senior similar to the Barretts in the play who were six years apart. I don\'t know too much about my heritage, but supposedly some of it traced back to families in Czechoslovakia, Germany, Austria, and Scotland. The families are relatives supposedly to the Hapsburgs, and Horacek families on my mother\'s side. On my father\'s side, the Johnstons and Whittenbergs, and perhaps naturalized Cherokee? in America.
I very much enjoyed your poem. I apologize for rambling.

Pride in one\'s heritage is a wonderful thing. One can not know who they are until they know where they came from. It is most interesting that traced back far enough we all are related. This poem eeks with pride of the old land and I have always admired the Scottish and loved the sound of bagpipes. Don\'t think I could do Haggis though. A most lovely poem my friend

Old Man Winter (senryu)
Cassie58 said:
Reminds me how fragility can set in with advancing age. Old man winter is a fine metaphor. I visited a residential home yesterday and there were several elderly men with dementia that this fine senryu would apply to. They are certainly in the winter of their lives, getting lonelier, weaker and colder by the day. So very well composed dear Teddy 🌹💜

Dear Teddy in some latin based languages leaves may be pabes as well and so it seems at times that our muse grows more distant as we write more but infact our work grows stronger with more practice. Maybe not the intended interpretation but then my mind wanders. A very lovely haiku or senryu depending on who the I is.

A lost soul indeed Teddy. This poem gave me the chills. You convey the darkness so well dear poet. I wanted to light a candle for her. Lovely and creative 🌹

Eerie and haunting this poem speaks with darkness and a sense of horror. The nonspecific nature of the presence enhances the feeling. Very nicely done

Beautiful message of positivity dear Teddy. We all need to wish upon a star and hope our dreams come true. We all need something to look forward to, especially when the going gets tough. 🌹

Dear Teddy. An inspirational write with a superb ending. When you hit rock bottom, there’s only one way up. Naked feet tell me of the pain it takes and the struggle in climbing out of the mire. Kudos 🌹💜

You are right Teddy I remember this poem well from the last posting and this ending is much better indeed (not that the other was bad but rather that this one is better) it gives a whole different feel to the poem. Brilliant!!

Not sure we can survive with it. Not sure whether living with it is anu harder than living without it. I\'ve been on both sides, grass is not greener either way. Nice.

Such an enigmatic question my friend. We may be able to physically live without it, but in order to survive we must have it, for it fosters empathy and compassion, without which we would live in a cold and uncaring world. An excellent write Dear Teddy!!!

Dear Teddy. What a question. There are many types of love. We love people in different ways. I can’t imagine going through life without ever loving anyone at all. You’d have to be completely heartless, completely dead inside. Just existing, no joy. Have a beautiful Sunday 🌹
