Now the site is getting to the good stuff, I get it. I have done that too and you said it so eloquently. Anguish, loneliness and invisibility, the stuff that can make some really good art. Songs, Paintings, Stories and sculptures.
Years ago your poem would have been skipped over with the rest of them, but if one is being honest with themselves they can understand what you wrote.
I like the part about the imaginations, what a wild ride mine has taken me on...some good and many many not humorous at all. The honesty about enjoying the plight of others...I get that too, and have been on the other end of it too. Maybe that is why it is so enjoyable.
If writing.com wants to continue to send me poems, I hope that they be more like yours, harsh, funny and honest.
I felt like singing while reading your poem, some say love is a river....
Its a hunger
An endless aching need.
Just remember in the winter
And in the spring
Becomes the rose.
I completely messed up the words to that song, but I had fun writing. Okay back to your review.
I want to answer all of your comments and questions with my comedic way, but I don't know if you would appreciate it or not. Not that your poem needs made fun of or work, your poem was nice. I guess this has always been my way when I read poems.
Now songs...sing me a song with those words matched with the instruments playing and you quite possibly you will get a different response from me.
After going through so many poems that need some cheese to go with the crying. I am not kidding, there were at least 10 that I read half way through and pressed the "NEXT" button, until I came to yours.
I like how it doesn't tell me how I am supposed to feel about the poem or story. Your poem puts it out there, and lets the reader decide how to perceive it, reminding me of the stories of Grim. Those stories did the same.
How perfect, that after just finishing writing this novel, I find your poem to be reviewed. Nicely written and you are right, you could take it any way that you want.
I am not really into poetry, but I do read them once and awhile. This one was a good one.
Many years ago, I used to write many different pieces on varying subjects to gain acknowledgment from any person in the hopes to turn that reader into a customer for a business that I had.
Some of the writing that I would do, was not necessarily what I agreed with as much as it would be what I wanted other people to hear from me. Taking different viewpoints and changing it up to get a variety of potential customers.
While people get easily angered or sad of what one politician might say or do, he or she needs to maintain a certain balance when talking to people. Business owners do this same thing, is it crooked or immoral or treacherous?
I don't know, I am not them. They are trying to make money to feed themselves and loved ones, like many other people. Your writing reminded me of the way I used to write years ago.
Interesting poem, and so much is included in so little few words. Not that there was enough, you made your point and added in some history stories along with a few films that I have seen or I have heard of.
The only thing that I found a little humorous and it may have been your attention, is the last line. John Chaney gave other people's misfortunes to other people, he spread it around.
Anyway I thought it was funny and wanted to thank you for the smile.
