A Queens Doubt Comments

Twice you respond I WANT TO BELIEVE HIM and I felt that tug in my heart to believe also. But when the years pile up behind us and people have failed us again and again, it seems foolish to believe. What we want and need is something firmer and more real than hyperbole, however exciting it was in the past. We want the kind of present experience of love a future can come out of, not just more moments, but something lasting. // I just read your prose comment, and my comment and yours pretty much agree about this issue. And like your other poem, this one challenges me to look beyond the moment, however attractive and alluring it may seem. It's the difference between naive and mature views of love.

''what the woman wants in this poem is a king, A symbol of maturity, responsibility. Its a need. And she is doubting because she doesn't want another prince.'' the text your well penned poem is clear enough, but surely your note helps to get to the point of its inner meaning. I've enjoyed your poem, Esther, thanks for sharing Stay blessed
