Winters too my dad got up early
Bella Shepard said:
So beautifully written for the father who did not think of his discomfort, but the comfort and well being of his family. I see in your words the recognition that comes with age, of the sacrifices those who loved us made, but we were too young to realize. You truly touched my heart with this one.

The World Cries
L. B. Mek said:
(Brilliantly acute, emotive
and vivid, poetic representation
of our collective, despair..
thanks for sharing, dear Poet
and inspiring my little scribbled reply
forgive me
if you find my self indulgent rudeness, offensive
I truly mean no disrespect)
\'sometimes, in the rain
I stretch out my hands
beyond my umbrella\'s
or double glazed window\'s
and feel, those pinprick
sharp burst\'s, thudding
on my, tiny
calloused palm
and indulge, in a little
meditative cleansing
with a deep, elongated
sigh
my cheeks, momentarily
puffed-up
with self importance
deflate, so willingly
as I recall, acceptance within forgiveness
to forget, circumstance...\'
yes, we humanity are fallible
yes, we can be warped into something like
unfathomable destruction, incarnate
but, also
yes, in each of us
exists
humane - potential, enough
to undo
all our mistakes, in just
One, humble
generation\'s, realisation
of sustained, empathetic
Oneness
with each other and Nature!
all this defeatist, Nihilism
in fear of that seemingly, impending
Nuclear warfare, horror
can be Overcome
by one Speech
to infuse, our hearts
with an indelible Dream
so we just need to find
that next, heroin or warrior
of Peace and Love
to stand up! and state
\'I, too
have a dream
that One day...\'

Your poem comes to life with such wonderful visual imagery. As I read I\'m back in childhood, a snow day from school, sledding down a hill just as you describe. I love the picture that you chose to accompany it, especially the pink coated child making a snow angel. It\'s all perfect!

True and haunting accounts of whats happening in Ukraine. I just can\'t bring myself to watch TV anymore but this poem was sad. So happy not to be at war. But sorry for Ukraine and what they are going through. Thanks for sharing!

Entirely possible to have too much of a good thing, you know - as many folks on the East Coast of Australia can testify.
Never mind - in a different context, a different time, I could conceivably have enjoyed your piece.
