Hi Melissa, beautiful dreamy poem. well written. Enjoyed the thoughts in your lines.

"step outside myself,
and walk away
from where I've been sitting too long,
a porcelain doll
sleeping under dust. "

Very nice to read,really enjoyed.

This is very interesting concept of a poem..It does contain only 29 words....?
Not sure why you mentioned "Sixty Six Startled Starlings" - very mysterious calculation.

Typical - just like a bus. Nothing for ages then three turn up at once! Intense - thought provoking - rhythm - rhyme - multilayered. Welcome back Pierre.

Your poem is not only well written but very beautiful. Sentimental. Especially when you mentioned the flowers planted by your Mum. This sounds so good and gave me great feeling when reading. Excellent piece of poetry!!

Thank you...Zuzanna

Hi Peter

Your poem is well written, has depth of thoughts. Also nicely flow. Sad though as the eviction once was mentioned. It sounds familiar. Scary for those who really face that in a real life situation.
You have captured a lot of life events in this one.

GREAT WRITE!
Zuzanna

Hi Chris

Very profound and sad write. Unrequited love toughs on my heart strings-well written with fantastic flow poem, pleasure to read.


"Too weak to feel the storm hovering above
an obstruction shattering below
I fall
Failing to see where its path has taken me
I am soon crawling on fragmented glass yet driven blood running thin with tears
being shed upon my palms"

I could picture the pain of the writer in this particular stanza...GREAT POEM!

Hi Lenford--It is good to hear from you..Also about the history of slavery. It brings kind of a bitter taste to me.My feeling are soft in my heart of other people sufferings. Still I am sensitive about such subject. I do believe that Planet Earth has enough of Goods to supply each group of people, it does not matter of the race or the Nationalities.I am against slavery always will. So the book you referring to is the "BELOVED"- I will check this book. Thank you for sharing so much knowledge about this subject....Zuzanna

Lenford- you brought a lot of memories in this writing. It happened that I was traveling across Canada by train too. But when visiting Europe it happened that I was in Warsaw then Paris on my way home to Canada, With the transfers in Heathrows Airport. Did you fly to Warsaw and then transfer there to take a train to TORUN ?
The picture of the train still reminds of the past.
Like you said from Agatha Christie stories.You are very adventurous man. And your writing amazes.Thank you...Zuzanna

PS, I saw Roots when I was at school in 1975 - it had a big impact over here - it was a start too. Aley Hayley's book was overly dramatised, and even in 1975 I could not help thinking that it made slavery seem far more toerable for African than it actually was. The book is yet to be written on this subject...I know how I would tell it...Tony Morrisson's book is hearer the mark - having as her starting point a mother seperated from her child, and then benig haunted by the child's ghost....can't remember what it was called. Let me check on the net.................how could I have forgotten, it was called Beloved.

Thanks for the comments. Yes, I am from the south - south Liverpool - and area called Toxteth. You may know of it, made infamous due to the "riots" in 1981 - we called them "uprisings" - it may sound grand, but they were defiance in the face of exclusion, racism and discrimination. Liverpool, after all was the Capital of the Slave Trade. My and a group of dedicated black observers wrote a book on this in 1997 called "Slavery: An Introduction to The African Holocaust".

I will submit the poem, would like to get up and tell it like it was and get people thinking about how our past impacts on us today

Interestingly spot-on there, Zuzanna.

I had not realised it myself: I have been reading a lot of modern Icelandic and Swedish poets - and I guess the scary Arctic cold has left its mark.
How astute you are!

Melissa, you penned such a gem. Beautifully embraced the beauty of the rose. but I read in between the lines that the rose has much deeper meaning in your poem .Great Tribute to someone special.

"This rose
stands tall
here
and now
no longer in my hands
but
in the earth
that we walk each day,
trying to find meaning
for our own lives
and looking toward the heroes
to keep guiding us.
You were my hero,
and this is your flower.
Your memory stays with
me,
and it'll stay with this world."

Very well wrapped at the end with this last stanza. BEAUTIFUL POEM!!

Hello Malcolm,

Grete take on the female cosmetic surgery. I am rather against those artificial improvements. You have used a humorous lines too. That adds a
more taste to the entire write. But the sadness creeps in your last stanza. Thank you for the angle look at different solution to self improvement. Have a great holidays!

Terrific lament for the passing moment -- Carpe Deum! I think it's so very strong that you don't need the last line because that's implicit in the rest of the poem. Very reflective and yet uplifting, Daniel.
