A life lesson in a poem. A full life in a poem of one day. Creative and yet full of wisdom well worded. Nicely rhymed as well. Loved it.

The Library

Many prisons have libraries and that’s where (by force of circumstance) some play catch ups with their education and humanisation… when it should have been the other way around. But that’s an aside. Superb enjoyment, I remember the classics being the largest of my physical library. 🙏🏻🕊

So true, not only libraries but books themselves and few children like to read anymore. Video games, streamed movies, tic tock have all replaced books. A sad condition.

A wonderful piece. You make your point so well and the last line just nailed it. Very well done.

I love the metaphor in this poem, it blooms fresh. So nicely written with a mood consistent with the topic and meter that is somber but leaves a good feel for the rhyme. This is a little gem that deserves a fave.

A very nicely worded poem around a topic little discussed and with great meaning. The metaphor may be extended beyond just social to general missed opportunities. Very well done and a fave

A very touching poem Kevin. Played out beautifully with fine imagery. Those lost opportunities can be so sad. Much enjoyed. Your poetry never disappoints.

From a Window
sorenbarrett said:
Time passes, technology advances, and the question becomes, is progress really progress? A deep poem that very nicely handles the issue of times passage in various ways and poses the question without asking it. Subtle and very well done A fave

Loneliness
Cassie58 said:
I heard Tennyson coming through in your earlier lines Kevin.There is a reminder in your poem too. Through its sadness it reminds me that loneliness is such a curse and it befalls so many in older age when loved ones have left this plane. Very nicely composed and I like the references to poets you gave read. All the best.

A compelling poem of loneliness with the good use of metaphor and how for some there is no companion found. Well written

A lovely write in rhyme and good meter I think it is the nostalgia of the piece that made it a fave. I too remember the old steam trains in South America that would traverse the countryside. The hustle and bustle of getting a seat for the hours long ride. Miss those days.

A fun poem Kevin. Light hearted humour. That’s the ticket. You reminded me of my brother. (sadly no longer with us) He used to study the Guiness Book of Records as a kid. A mine of information he was :) Have a happy Thursday.

When the Skies were blue
arqios said:
I also would rather not but something is niggling deep within that it may be best to go when life around is all at its fullest expression so the grieving and leaving would be less harrowing… but then again, that notion may again change, as notions tent to do. 🙏🏻🕊
