Another of your social justice theme poems and very well said and done. I would write one on the same theme but I am afraid it would not get past the sensors. Not only the underage either, "Shoot Lot The" comes to mind not necessarily in that order.

All that is English so beautifully laid out in your graphic rendering of your day out that hopefully you enjoyed as much as I enjoyed reading about it.

Such expressiveness and beauty in your words as well as the subject truly enjoyed. A Romantic but hopefully not the Last?

"Ethereal spirits or imagination
Adrift in limbo, seeking reincarnation" I like reading about the spirit world and I enjoyed your poem conjuring up pictures of those we have lost but can still keep in touch with. Well done.

A friend once said she likes to write poetry but would not have the nerve to post it on the web. We on this site however write and as you say, "It's good to share your talent and have it read throughout the world", good write keep it up.

Keep and treasure the chair and the memories it holds will be relayed to you over the years, I have a "Special Chair" that was my mothers and though she died some twenty years ago I still use and can reminisce via the chair. Keep on writing and posting your fine works.

The look in the eyes tells it and says it all, either good or foreboding, well done

I enjoyed your poem both for its content structure and from the vivid memories it recalled

Love can be so fickle and can bring out all the suggested emotions and pain flowing through your verses, so descriptively.

A beautiful personal poem that we have been allowed to infiltrate, " She is the mirror of my soul" I know exactly what you mean maybe sometime they are too much like us, neither of us will give way.

What a truly lovely tribute to a loved one,
I am sure we can all identify with this work.
Well done and so well written

Albert

Certainly food for thought, and well delivered. Unfortunately with the modern age and modern wars they will not be "Having a break on Christmas day to sing Carroll's
And play a game of football"

An excellent piece my friend both in poetic layout and social content, well done.
I am afraid I was one of those who never paid much attention to the teachers and in consequence got stuck in Stockbroking all my life.

A very enjoyable reading experience, being a big softy child at heart I love the simplistic subject brought to life so realistically in your beautiful poem. A must read for children and grownups whatever the age.
Best

Sometimes I feel that the inadequacy of this site with over 3,000 members is that good poetry with a message and feeling well constructed as is yours, is to time this day been read only 5 times, Graham their loss.

Perhaps we "poets" are the favoured few,
Enabled to express our selves in the way we do
In anonymity the world can hear us say
"And when a loved one's snatched away"

As always Graham beautiful words well put together, forgive the inadequate rhyme.

What a nice story line, another lovely poem from you "Miss Cub". Written from the heart and not just as an exercise to be in print.

"Little lights dancing over dark green needles." A few simple words but so descriptive lighting up your whole tree for me.
I liked the content and naivety of the piece.
Regards and thanks
Albert

I enjoyed your poem for its contents layout and readability so many younger aspiring poets add so many angry words that the contents are over shadowed by the anger yours asked the same questions we asked at your age. You will find out who you are eventually.

"I see your face everywhere.
Behind every single corner, you're there.
You are so freaking beautiful."

I love those lines and I suspect 99% of the poetBay writers have experienced the same feelings but maybe not with the other person being "so Freaking Beautiful, thoroughly enjoyed and shall look for your next poem.

A nice journey through your kitchen and the haute cuisine that ended up as your gastronomic brekkas, very well written and enjoyed, a darkish piece with light and a message at the end of the tunnel albeit yelled at you.

Albert

Dreaming comes into a few of my poems and "Perchance to dream" are among my favourite three words as they can conjure up so much as does your poem. Even if the dish comes up empty every day we can still dream. Good read and so true.

Albert

I feel the emotion comes out well in your write with all the pertinent words "Insensitive Stubborn Selfish Arrogant" work well to give us a picture that alas is particularly prevalent in "girls" of the middle teenage years. Nicely put together perhaps not the right metaphor to say I enjoyed the read. Thank you for sharing what must have been a tormenting time seeing someone you love "destroying" herself.
Regards
Albert

You are all these things and much much more a truly beautiful poem in in every aspect and a must to book mark

Best regards

Even the most mundane of objects can inspire us to create as you have created a lovely piece, thoroughly enjoyed reading it.

An Excellent work, loved the flow the contents and the visual picture of the old boy lovingly tending his land.

Well done,

Yes maybe an "oddball" poem but I know where you are coming from and the contents are all relevent, enjoyed and rated 5 "well maybe not the F word"

An intriguing work the more I read it, the more I understood it and then I had to read it some more. A very nice personal write.

Another good read with so much content and truth.

"That falls upon some barren ground
To shrivel up without a sound"
Keep on writing excellent poetry like this and your words will be heard and read long after you are gone.

Enjoyed and liked the "Poem" for its rhyme and contents.

I Doubt if John Lennon could have helped although he certainly would have wanted to try.

Your as sane as I am, though what degree of sanity that is on the Richter scale is debateable, although outsiders might think that any poet has got to be a bit loony. Well done Mon Ami for allowing us into your mind. Enjoyed as always.

Yes the English countryside in summer is quite beautiful as is your poem, having worked in the "square Mile" all my life I connect the the last lines too.

I love to walk along narrow paths to unknown place that become your "secret nooks".

"The different coloured roses were bathed
In a million drops of dew" what a lovely descriptive collection of words, enjoyed the journey and the read.

Beautiful words conjuring up many lovely and exotic thoughts in the moonlight;

"Footsteps, light, chase each other
In the garden of Time,
A kiss is planted on the lips
of Beauty, ardently by Love"

Excellent read

What a beautiful though sad story line and so well put together, thank you for allowing us this read.

My comments would not do justice to your writings or to the sentiments contained there in. Suffice to say a very good read

Too many opportunities missed by not giving it a go. Look to the star look to your future,
For in your hands your destiny lies,
Enjoyed the read.

When I was twenty I could have given you some answers, maybe! but when you have been married to the "friend" for over thirty years you only have her opinion.
Keep the fond memories. Thought provoking and it reminds me of my youth with the pain of love. Enjoyed,good to read.

I had the same thought last week and started the Poem "if I could change the world, I'd change it quite a bit" but now that it has been done this well I shall desist. Very good write

Truly a nice piece, unfortunately you could be describing any town in any country in these troubled times.

A nice flow visually taking us through the temple, I liked the kick in the teeth at the end but I guess life can be like that

2005-12-04
Mans in humanity to man the theme of your poem reminds me of the great Johnny Cash in "The Ballad of Ira Hayes" eligible to fight for the US but after...

Not completely understood, probably the age gap, but the words and flow I loved. Hang in there life gets better.

Alas we don't help the poor nations enough,
What ever be the reason,
Now is the time to reverse the trend,
This coming Christmas Season.
Nicely put.

Another lovely read that gives warmth on these cold wet days and lifts one towards the bright colours leaving all the greys well behind.

What an absolutely lovely poem, very nice to read and very descriptive from what must be one on the youngest members of the poetic fraternity on PoetBay. I moved to France two years ago and one of the flowers that I loved and that self set in profusion in my lawns when I lived in the UK were cowslips so that element I enjoyed also.

Can't wait to read some of your newer poems if that rendering was "aged 11" and now your all of twelve.

Yes I also believe our lives are like the course of a river that we sometimes allow the surging current to take us where we should not really venture. Very nicely put together a very good read.

How coincidental you opening your heart about your father and I am just about to put a poem on myself simply named MOTHER.
Thank you for sharing your feelings with us all.

I enjoyed the humour a bit risqué but definitely a good read and laugh.
