What a great work! Can't figure out why I waited so long to read it, except maybe it
was because I was pissed off at the site instead of my own ignorance. I'm particularly liking that verse about justice. Now that I go back over it again even more I'm pretty much in awe at all the verses. Do you have T shirts?

Hi, Sly

Thank you very much for this awesome review! I'm glad you liked that particular portion of the poem which happens to have been my favorite. I wear a lot of t-shirts, but, alas, have none for sale LoL.

I really appreciate your generosity and encouragement!

Hi Bev, of course the reader should respect your opinion , There is not one of these wonderful statements of free verse that I would not agree with my friend.

This is such a thought provoking piece of work. Lots of your musings are thoughts that I have had myself from time to time. It is well written and the artwork is really beautiful. Well chosen.

A unique poem that explores various thoughts that people may have over their life
time. Though I am not sure exactly what you're trying to profess. In your note below "we are constantly reborn" because cell are regenerating. This is true in a physical sense. Born again, Jesus used in a spiritual sense, for the spirit to come alive. Your poetry is well written and expresses ones deep feelings.

It is a thought-provoking poem. We are all unique in our individual life and though our destination is same, out paths and journeys are different. You have underscored this belief nicely in the poem. Thanks for expressing your thoughts without hesitation.

I read this when your name first popped up in my inbox. Bev, this is so beautiful and so reflective. I've never seen anything quite like it - certainly not on here. Your inner spirit, your insight, and your wisdom shines through in this remarkable piece of writing.

One of the your best, I think. One for my bookcase!

Love Av

Outstanding, Bev! You have an original gem here and I loved it. So good to see you drift away from your prose for a bit. It shows just how varied your talents are.

I liked this in particular btw:
"As if warriors
achieve more with a pure heart
than armed with soulless steel"

Bravo, my friend! X Bob

Hi, Bob. I thank you for this wonderful review! You're always so encouraging and supportive, and that means a lot to me.

I love poetry. Used to do a lot more when I first joined the site. I understand April is National Poetry Month, so I'll probably do another one - maybe a different style.

Hope you enjoyed a wonderful Easter. If you cooked, I'm sure it was a delicious one!

I love Easter brunch, but, alas, I needed to cook lamb to go with my hubbie's Cabernet he was dying to have. It was good!

Absolutely I respect the author's right to opine, especially when that results in such interesting things as this poem. I mean really, how boring would this life be if we couldn't truly express ourselves?

It seems like I wouldn't subscribe to the things in this poem, but who cares? Always appreciate reading original thoughts and this certainly qualifies.

A cluster of musings
of various thoughts
that spiral down the page in
meaningful, artistic fashion
poetically expressed.
Well done

A beautiful photo of a swan that complements your very original poem perfectly. I loved the lines in red. The poem covers a lot of ground. And who knows if we are reborn frequently?

Hello, Ine

Thank you for taking time to read my poem. I appreciate both your support and encouragement.

I tend to subscribe to the theory of reincarnation. Thanks for mentioning the awesome artwork, too. We have so many talented artists from which to choose to enhance our writing. I think it's a real blessing.

Have a great week!

:) Bev
