Hello David. Loved this poem, you put a lot of thought into this one. Good read! LC Taylor

I can understand why this is one of your own favourites, David. You have invested a lot of meditation and awareness to pin down the moment you describe, the train of thought you follow, the images and connections you've formed from a set of small observantions. Small is usually beautiful - your microscopic observation of the warm crushed leaves and the evaporating dewdrops, the temporary aggression between the squirrels (and I love your aside, 'At least they have each other / who do you have? ') Another mature and thoughtful piece of work.

Wow, David, a lot of depth & colour here that makes this exceptional. Thank you.

Hi David, I really don't think that you are cynical just because you express this view. Nevertheless, it is said that the rain falls on the just and the unjust, Enoch.

This is a philosophical writing that is actually quite easy to translate. Unlike most writings of this kind. I really appreciate this as a reader. The philosophy also poses a great question that can occupy the mind all evening. I think this is a positive contribution to both the art of writing and philosophy as well. Greenwolfe 1962

'I am broken, I think. The sun has never fixed me.' The lines were written with considerable restraint. The whole poem follows this pattern of controlled mastery. Thanks.

Thanks. Very well done. This is the kind of poem I like.

Fine job. The language is very fresh. I admire the way the the title shifts its meaning as we discover that it is nature's cynicism, rather than the poet's, that is being portrayed.

Not one of those who feels healed by nature then? I liked it a lot, it was entirely truthful and unforgiving. I liked the line about you being broken and the sun having never fixed you. I especially liked that you stopped to say 'I think', it just compounds that sense of meaninglessness.

A poem of excellence! Loved it!

I'm new to this site and i'd really like if you'd please read my work and tell me how you feel. This poem works because it's not cliche'. You mixed human emotion with the emotion of mother nature. I liked it.

nice poem.....................

I enjoyed the flow of this poem, good imagery, a look through your window, thanks for sharing, Lynda xx

Although not a fan of free form I can recognise and appreciate well written works in any form
