Prince,
I didn't react the same way at first as the others. I needed to read it a few times to really appreciate the complexity of the poem. I hate when your poems do that to me. Sometimes they can appear much less than they are. Thanks for sharing this with me.
Not all poems are meant to be gotten at one reading although, as much as possible, I avoid complexity for the sake of complexity. That you came back to read it again and again must mean that something struck you as being worth pursuing. Thanks for persevering, Jersea.Originally Posted by jersea
And thank you too, ur shadow89.
A testament to our complexity.
All the more reason, I submit, to sing:
'Tis the gift to be simple, 'tis the gift to be free,
'Tis the gift to come down where we ought to be,
And when we find ourselves in the place just right,
'Twill be in the valley of love and delight.
When true simplicity is gain'd,
To bow and to bend we shan't be asham'd,
To turn, turn will be our delight,
Till by turning, turning we come round right.

I admire your ability to craft poems like this which are short but have powerful imageries! Very good work!
Very nice!
Leaping and hopping like a frog now, but still have a long way to go before I get crowned as "King Frog"!
Thanks, formality hater.
Awesome poem!
Thanks a lot.
This.
I'm not sure I have anything constructive to add to all the praise.
