I think a reasonable, goodhumored neighbor or co-worker spreads a lot more goodwill than some sanctimonious canting parson, and a cheerful pair of parents do wonders with kids...excellent free verse.

WOW, i have been away for a few months, and reading your poem, made me realize how much i have missed during those months, but here I am reading a poem by a great writer, it moved me so much, that i had tears running down my cheeks. Beautiful, amazing, a written poem by a unique writer. Terry

You are very kind. Thank you very much for your vote of confidence in me. Nothing moves a writer more than knowing he/she
has stirred someone's emotions.
Comment from Katie Solis
That was a beautiful work. It reminds me of the glass half empty allegory; I love how you choose to waltz. It flowed very nicely, and I liked your imagery.

Comment from Sherman541
The Perfect picture so colorful, vibrant, light and airy. I think it is not good for us to think of the coffin and nails, be not afraid of that or worried about that. Live here in the now and enjoy dancing, singing and life together, until we take our final bow. Beautifully written. Sherman541

A touch of poetic genius here my friend. Superb thoughts and phrasing. The stark title caught my attention but I like your idea of dancing along the way instead.

Thank you so much. Your words were encouraging.

You have such a talent for using imagery from nature to make a point about human nature. I especially love the hopeful ending inviting the reader to float away like a butterfly instead of being entombed with coffins and nails.

It's hard for me to understand your poem, but maybe I'm just not seeing what the meaning is. I don't really think your picture relates to the poem at all. The only thing that connects them is your mention of butterflies in the last line.

A very well-written poem about the way we live and walk in our living life. We kill others souls with harsh words and dirty looks more than people kill with guns and knives. Do we have an idea where our soul will go?

As an emergency room nurse I have experienced first hand that verbal is the worst kind of child abuse and the hardest to prove. Many thanks for reading and commenting.

i loved the choice of words especially words like heart search tendrils
hold stock of nothing of value
putridness and decay
espouse a monasterial life
i did not however easily see the flow
