Your poem captures the elusive dance of self-perception brilliantly! It\'s like a whirlwind tour through the maze of mirrors, where truth and illusion intertwine. Keep shedding light on life\'s enigmas!

Dead or Alive

After the Israelites escaped the tyranny of Egypt, didn’t it take 40 years of wandering the desert before they came to the Promised Land? Have faith that your rebirth will come—though hopefully much sooner than 40 years :P

Don\'t make me choose
Kieron said:

Reading this reminded me of something that I heard on the radio last night, in a programme about George Eliot and her characters, one of which discussed was Dorothea. I have done a quick search for the segment, but the programme is very long. I have found this one, which may or may not be the one that I recall hearing: \"Particularly if you\'re not reading very well, and particularly at the beginning, she can feel a bit two-dimensional because of her moral strength. But the novel is her discovering the three-dimensionality of her own life and of other people\'s reality. That\'s what\'s happening, that\'s her character arc: that she starts off with this rather black-and-white view of the world and of humanity, but, as she achieves maturity, her maturity is not about sexuality and marriage; it\'s about the multidimensionality of being human, of recognizing the reality of other people.\"

Thanks for your poem, Alan.

I like the contrasting main images of perfume and gifts, and baking bread. Lovely.

Poetic Injustice
Soman Ragavan said:

My comments on the poem \"Poetic injustice” by Alan R.
Language has its inherent limitations. It can only convey or say so much. It can never say entirely what we feel or think. Strangely, the unspoken words say more and are more impactful : the look in the eyes, the expression on the face… These have bigger and more lasting impacts. Tears, too, are more powerful than words. Tears are a powerful tool of babies. They don’t do it deliberately; it’s part of human instincts and human means of seeking help or attention. Soman Ragavan. 14 February, 2024.
