She was special Teddy. A huge talent. She had problems with her mental health that were exasperated by the crow she married. An excellent poet himself, but a lousy husband. She didn’t get the love she deserved, became unbalanced and had a tragic ending leaving behind two young children. She leaves a decent legacy , but it could have been so much more without Ted. You have portrayed her here sympathetically. She had a streak of genius in her. Great work yourself. I am a fan of you both.

A wonderful tribute to another poet so well worded made me wonder her having chosen a crow and knowing you also have picked a crow or rather raven. Similarities here? And it ends as it begins with the closing of the eyes. Well done Teddy

Sylvia Plath was a tormented, but hugely talented poet and author. I visited her grave in Heptonstall several years ago (I live 17 miles from there). You paint a warm and compassionate picture with words here, Teddy! Sylvia certainly deserves to be remembered, and to be read!

That certainly brought Chicken Licken home, many years since I shared it with my daughters and it certainly unnerved the youngest, then the Grandchildren felt the effects. As young people today tune into the bigger louder world they often seem to wonder will the sky fall in.
I never thought it would, my parents offered me so much, but I still went my way and I thought I led my own children, but they took there own route, all I know is we can trust, love and learn through our family cohesion.

As we get older (speaking for myself) we tend to think more about our own mortality. I don\'t fear death, although that\'s an easy thing to say when we expect to live a while longer yet! A touching poem, my friend! We all hope our memory will live on long after we are gone, in the hearts of our loved ones!

Dramatic love is the best. Rich and ripe this poem like a fruit on a tree begs for the picking. It makes the juices flow and although haunting it like a siren voice calls from the grave for one to follow. A beautiful write crafted with good rhyme to give the proper feel. Brilliant!

A poignant and hard-hitting senryu! I\'m sure most people will at least know of someone who is in this same situation! I wouldn\'t wish such a fate on anyone! So sad!

Dear Teddy, I was born into a generation where girls weren’t encouraged to have a career. They just married and had kids. I did and it wasn’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 didn’t do much good first time round:)) I don’t believe in the sky falling down. That’s for chickens 😂. I love your poem. It speaks to me. 🌹💜

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.

Accidental Poet said:
Well Teddy, I\'ve come to believe it\'s \"The Dominoe Effect\" In growing up, each generation is affected by the one before it. Most of my life I didn\'t understand much about how my parents grew up, or their parents before them, and theirs before them, and so on. My parents wanted more for me, but had no idea what I wanted myself, because I didn\'t know myself what I wanted. I think that every generation has its own growing pains, and it has the trickle affect down through the generations. My father and I for most of my life didn\'t get along very well and we had different viewpoints, and few things in common. I began thinking of how he grew up with two alcoholic parents. I thought about what it must have been like for them growing up that caused them to become alcoholics. The stories might differ from generation to generation, but it seems to me the effects are inherited unintentionally. At least this is as close as I can come to rationalizing why it\'s happening. And I find forgiveness of past issues goes a long way in my own well-being. It has to end somewhere. I feel like my parents would be proud and thankful of me for that. Sorry for burning your ear for so long, but that\'s my story and I\'m sticking to it. 😁🌹

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.
