It strove to touch my head;
Then I was just eleven
And I ducked and turned and fled.

Very dramatically written, Tan, the situation of being imprisoned and caught into something does not want to be, and yet be freed from it by celestial hand. Very beautiful. THanks for sharing. Please keep on writing.

HI. I just read your poem. It made me remember Wordsworth's poem Immortality Ode and also the myth of Tiresias. There was a flow of growing up in the poem that i liked. Best wishes

A powerfully and personally descriptive illustration that throughout life we have choices to make. To walk in the light, or choose the darker path. He who created light knows that our fulfillment can only ever be found in the light, and He also knows what types of serpents hide in the darkness. Well done, Tan. Another fine poem. NB :)

This poem appeals to both religious believers and non-believers. For is all love not a hand reaching out from heaven, no matter our age, or from whom it comes? It certainly can be construed that way, and I like that. Love is the great healer that we all need throughout life. Beautiful poem.

There's a lot of character to this poem. I like the meter, it is done well. One thing to make it perfect. Change 'Were the serpents coil...' to 'Where the serpents coil.. Just a friendly suggestion. A great poem.
