Lady of The Night (Out of Need)
Cassie58 said:
Survival is everything. If you have a child to feed, you wouldn’t hesitate if you couldn’t find another way to bring in the bread. Don’t judge others, show some compassion. Tabani, you have narrated this situation skillfully. It is a dangerous situation to contemplate, but survival overrules everything else. Wonderfully composed.

An interesting journey. If it is a human one in all very few cases, it is only one sperm that wins the race. It is also an issue of luck as to which fallopian tube they take. Read about evolution as well and survival of the fittest which winds out overtime over luck

Now that’s the story of my beginnings, a quite unplanned pregnancy on my mum’s part. My dad did the responsible thing and stayed, for a while and 4 children later moved on to more “love”-filled relationship. The waypoint out. It makes me realise how amazing that journey was, conception, having partaken but not having any memory of it.

A reality that\'s is worth the reflection, bringing a child in the world, it is the job of every parent to teach our children the positives of life not the negatives that spread the hate and greed that is currently hurting us all. I\'m not sure what the next chapter of the Trump administration will do for good, but we are all waiting to find out, I personally have little hope. ❤️

Half the world in conflict and the suffering brings shame on our species, it is always the innocent children who are caught up in the warmongering. If they survive, however do they live with the horrors. A hard hitting write Tobani.

No responsible parent should produce a child into a world where there is no hope of their offspring ever reaching their full potential.

A most disturbing poem about the innocence of children and how they are affected by the world around them. It also seems a metaphor for people in general that are helpless under the actions of governments that control their lives. Very nicely written.

The innocence of childhood is often punctuated by their exposure to its pain and injustice. Children are a symbol of all people’s helplessness under governments, ulterior motives, and unjust actions. Very nicely written.

She Says Goodbye
arqios said:
Okay, so I double backed and went to the previous poem and our conversation about it. Boy, this feels like there is a bit of a step back moment, still emotional but more in control (sorry for this unencompassing word, ironic to its meaning, in this context) but still exudes the evocative expression.

Saying goodbye as often a very difficult thing to do. We form attachments that are not easily broken. This poem emphasizes such feelings. Very nicely written.

Hanging On by My Fingertips.
Cassie58 said:
Sad when love is on the downward slope. Can be retrieved with effort, but not everyone has the energy to invest in that outcome. Nicely penned composition. I enjoyed my visit.
