When The Sky Falls Down

Dear Teddy, I was born into a generation where girls werenโ€™t encouraged to have a career. They just married and had kids. I did and it wasnโ€™t until I was 29 with a failed marriage, I took control, got a career and became financially independent. As for Romeo and Juliet, I studied it. It didnโ€™t do much good first time round:)) I donโ€™t believe in the sky falling down. Thatโ€™s for chickens ๐Ÿ˜‚. I love your poem. It speaks to me. ๐ŸŒน๐Ÿ’œ

Wonderful poem! Recalling my childhood as I read this poem... becoming nostalgic. Yes, a child cannot be guided by reading books. It\'s all about experience!
Hope to read more of your poems in the coming days.

How much we sould shelter and how much let our child learn for themself is of high debate. No book can tell us. We either tend to use the same our parents used or in rebelion the opposite. It is funny how this changes over time as well. Today we tend to be much more protective than in the past. You have provoked my thinking.

I shall never again see another spring

Dear Teddy your winter imagery and description in this gorgeous poem is exquisite. I detected an air of melancholy.
Eventually, we will all return home. Your posted image is a fine match for your words. Been back here twice today to read this wonderful poem. Much kudos dear poet. ๐ŸŒน๐Ÿ’œ๐ŸŒน๐Ÿ’œ

Each season has their pros and cons, their beauty and their dark side. Your poem points to that quite beautifully.๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿ•Š

In the seasons of life we are all annuals. Lovely wording in this poem makes it feel classical in nature and gives it a sense of seriousness and weight wisdom. Yet the ending lines lift the burdon of finality and open the door to a return to familiarity. Brilliant!

So poignant dear Teddy. I am so sorry that one of your dearest friends has this terrible disease. It is hard for loved ones to witness the decline. Going through this with my aunt at the moment. Your authorโ€™s note is heart breaking as is your senryu. Your friendโ€™s sight being affected makes the whole situation more distressing for her. So sorry. ๐Ÿ’œ๐ŸŒน๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ

I know all about dementia Teddy, my wife had it and died from it five years ago. I would not wish it on anybody. I say to people that if you have not lived 24/7 with somebody who has it you have no ******* idea what it is like. When Joyce passed it was a release for both of us.

How sad and true. I can relate. It does seem unjust, but unfortunately life is not fair. Your senryu encapsulates how a loved one disappears before passing.

Sad and touching all that we are is our memories and to loose them is to loose ourselves. My grandfather went blind in his later years and said that it was the worst loss not being able to read his paper or books that he adored. A poignant write my friend

There is a lot to think about in this but the underlying theme seems to be believe in yourself and be yourself ignoring what others say but sensitive to who they are. Lovely Teddy a lot of good lines and wisdom in this write

A Fish Called Wonder
Cassie58 said:

A very caring write dear Teddy. Poor goldfish, well looked after yet so alone in a bowl. We have an aquarium with lots of fish. No lonely ones there. This is of course a strong metaphor here. I would say people need people and fish need fish:) Have very happy Saturday dear Teddy. ๐ŸŒน๐Ÿ’œ

A Fish Called Wonder
sorenbarrett said:

And if people were goldfish? I know this is a literal story but I can\'t help but see a metaphor here as well. We all wonder these thoughts about those we care for. Will they miss us, will someone else care for them? How can you care for anything and not wonder what will happen to it when you are gone? Very nicely written my friend.
