Pillows of Emotions

My comments on the poem \"Pillows of emotions” by gray0328 (Courtney Weaver Jr).
The pillow is a silent witness to human emotions and experiences. If only it could talk… But, then, it had better not… The pillow is a reliable confidant. However, being endowed with higher perceptive gifts, poets are able to see the significance of objects like the pillow. Some key points raised in the poem : museum; emotions; pillar; sadness; joys and sorrows of life; past memories flowing by; halls of those memories; short duration of those memories reminding us of fleeting life; the memories have corridors, through which we wander; some of the memories are good, others are not; in spite of sadness, there is beauty; somehow we succeed in scraping through the memories; in spite of the sadness, the human will struggles to survive and to face the future; the past is a museum; it is a place where our memories and emotions are kept; sadness is the springboard that helps us to facing our remaining life.
“Our sweetest songs are those of the saddest thought.”
--Percy B. Shelley (1792-1822)

Thanks Orchi. It\'s in our hearts and actions that our true selves can be found. But now I am going to write a a poem about a histrionic religious zealot who gets his daily workout by constantly crossing himself. 😂

A fine write G.
Yes, I saw someone so caught up in religion, that he was bowing, crossing himself, etc, so much, that I thought \'You\'ll be worn out before the service even starts\', Doh!

The Weight We Carry

\"Deep inside him, he hears the hum of a boy’s dream\" a great line. All of us that have had children can relate to this poem. It is a great read with a wonderful and powerful message.

Party Line

This one brought back many childhood memories when we had an old black dial phone that had a party line with two other neighbors. How many times I got in trouble interrupting their calls.

I loved your opening and great images \"Where the raccoon is but a hot tar stain
And the sweet-gum tree is lost to time\'s disdain
Where the shirt is just plastic ditch-litter
And the kitchen\'s a cow\'s corpse, bitter\"
Great images indeed. Merry Christmas to you as well

A fine write Gary.
I could maybe set a poem or two to a hymn/carol tune, if you wish, if I\'m inspired to!
