What To Do Now?

A poem of unrequited love that is more common than one would believe. Sad and a sense of pleading comes through but all to no avail. Well written

A Lighthouse
sorenbarrett said:
The personification in this allegory makes it a parable. We all choose who we would like to guide but many times even without knowing we guide others. A fun and lovely story.

As The Train Sings
sorenbarrett said:
A great metaphor in a real setting the two merge in meaning as one considers why the same action has a different expected outcome. Nicely done using repetition as a reinforcing agent.

Magpie

Magpie
Poetic Licence said:
I was not aware of the history of the magpie and that is what percieved that way, a write of someone who feels on the outside they are attractive but on the inside they have darker quality\'s. Lack of self confidence and valueing, that they are destined to always bring others down with them, nicely expressed and written

See In Me What I Can’t
Soman Ragavan said:
The root of it all is that we are unable to see ourselves objectively. We carry stubborn ideas of ourselves in our heads.

Nicely stated and composed. I do have such a life where I don\'t see people except about every month when I go to shop and otherwise see only various birds surrounded by mountainside and forest. I do have internet and electricity but water is from a spring. It is not lonely but peaceful. Loved your write but yes you could have more to finish it.
