Washed Away
LIZ said:
Teddy, life\'s experiences can do that to us. Letting go is no joke. But setting ourselves free....well that\'s priceless. And we must be aware...hence the heavy duty umbrella. BUT, I truly believe that sometimes....those hurricane winds take us to the most incredible, unexpected places...and that\'s where we learn and grow. I may be way off here but....I loved it!! ❤️

Bella Shepard said:
Emotions shape almost every aspect our every day lives, and you express so beautifully the need for the greatest of all, \"love\". While we cannot physically feel anothers pain, we recognize the signs, and that draws us to commiserate, comfort, help. These words are written from a heart that truly understands.

Blank Sheet
Soman Ragavan said:
My comments on the poem \"Blank sheet” by Teddy.15
Thus, love has departed. This has resulted in frustration and resentment. There is even anger in the heart. From anger hardly anything positive can come out. It turns out that the musical performance is a solo one. It is even a performance from which no sounds come out : “total silence.” Even the piano keys are not those of the present. In the past they played perfect renditions. Now they play music from which no sound comes out. The instrument and the poetess are silent. The poetess is turned both blind and lost. A frustrated love can have this troubling effect. Emotionally affected writers are known to write tragedies or sad stories. Soman Ragavan. 23 September, 2023. //

Destination

My comments on the poem \"Destination” by Teddy.15
The photo has the words : “Why must I be a bird with no wings ?”
Birds have been created with wings. It is unnatural to clip their wings. It is like humans being deprived of their limbs… Thus, the bird’s wings must be left alone. A bird without wings is condemned just to hop about, whereas it is meant to fly. Wings enable it to escape from many predators, except winged ones that are faster than itself. If it just remains on the ground, it becomes very vulnerable. Wings help it to escape from many dangers.
As concerns humans, dreams are the stuff through which we set targets that ideally we wish to attain for our betterment. We might or might not achieve these targets, but at least we formulate them and we work towards attaining them. Thus, dreams give us a purpose in life. Very often our achievements started as dreams. Without dreams we will just slouch about, not achieving much. Dreams enable humans to move forward. Wings help the bird to survive. Survival is the precondition for the bird to propagate itself.

My comments on the poem \"None of us would be poets” by Teddy.15
You say “without love none of us would be poets.” Indeed, the poet not only experiences love for humanity but also transmits his feelings to humanity. Some quotes :
(a) “Second, that, the poet feels with greater intensity than ordinary men and, through his art, is able to give enduring form to the strong emotions that ideas, sights and incidents arouse in him.” S. H. Burton : \"THE CRITICISM OF POETRY.\" London : Longman Group Ltd., 1950. (2nd Edition, 1974).
(b) “the function of poetry is to touch the heart, to arouse emotion. Only emotion can arouse emotion. If a poet feels nothing when he writes a poem, his readers will feel nothing when they hear it. Heart must speak to heart.”
“POETRY SPRINGS FROM IMAGINATION ROUSED BY EMOTION, AND IS EXPRESSED IN MUSIC AND IMAGERY.” Wren & Martin : \"HIGH SCHOOL ENGLISH GRAMMAR AND COMPOSITION.\" (Revised by Prasada Rao). New Delhi : S. Chand & Co., 1994. (Reprinted 1994).
(c) “In all definitions of poetry, the common factors are the imagination and emotions; that is to say, poetry consists of emotions and feelings that are imaginatively conceived and imaginatively expressed.” Dr. C. Paul Verghese : \"ADVANCED LEVEL GENERAL PAPER.\" Singapore : Fairfield Book Publishers Pte. Ltd., 1988.
(d) “he (the poet) has greater knowledge of human nature. He understands accurately the nature of human passions and emotions, even of those which he had not personally experienced.” Dr. Raghukul Tilak : \"WORDSWORTH : PREFACE TO THE LYRICAL BALLADS.\" New Delhi : Rama Brothers, 1980. (Fourth edition).

Wonderful observations leading to an important question that like other important questions has more than one right answer. I love the way you have worded this dilemma organizing it into different divisions and posing the question to the reader to answer. Nicely done

Teddy, I\'ve always believed you can\'t really TRULY understand someone\'s pain unless you\'ve experienced it yourself. And even then, you can\'t really know because we all feel differently. BUT, we can respect each other\'s pain/feelings. There are some people....empaths....who are able to feel other\'s emotions without experiencing. But it\'s rare. I love this one!! A topic I often think about. 💖💖💖💖
