A Second Childhood Comments

so many old people live abandoned lives. This blurring vision sicken me, I ponder. In this world I own nothing as my own, I feel, I kept all the hopes in my mind and put a seal. the poem reveals the sadness of aging praying for the gift of death. A sense of the real world oft he aged. A realistic and sad poem.. who knows what our future will be when we become really old and helpless. tony

God bless this beautiful poem

This is a truthful poem but that makes it painful too because so many old people live abandoned lives. They have outlived their peers and their children may have forgotten them. When the old person remembers GOLDEN DAYS AND CHARMING NIGHTS I felt so happy for her/him. Those are the memories we want our aged relatives to be thinking over. But from that point forward, the poem reveals the sadness of aging. The fact that this old person is praying for the gift of death from God is poignant and very, very sad.

Conflict between the generation reflects in your poem- right?

Nice poem I like it.An actual time of life is drawn.

Hi Malika, Nice of you to write about second childhood... Good way of presenting.. Thanks for this lovely poem...

Beautiful poem Mallika. Yes, very true said, we all need blessings so that we can rest in peace! ...Keep writing. Loved the way you presented it.

Heaven from all creatures hides the book of fate All but the page prescribes is its present state..... (famous lines of an old English poem) I guess life would become far more worthwhile if we stop searching for its meaning. Just live it and enjoy its bitter and sweet fruits as they come. Good poem keep writing

An interesting poem Mallika, and well written. I only speak English, and have great admiration for people who can write poetry in a language not their first. Well done.

Welcome to PoemHunter! 'Another name of agedness is, A second childhood sure it is' Very true. A nice poem. Please read some of mine too and comment.

excellent thought.............................i liked it............

this seems to be your first poem. a good write indeed. but i find a little confliction of expression in your write.in the upper case you are you are expressing as third person but in the lower you are expressing as first person as if you have entered into that stage which may not b true. though subject is good enough writing skill is better than me. only there is confliction of expression. simply you delete 'I' n recompose it n gaze the beauty of this poem. always remember poetry is the expression of soul. so you keep it up.10/10

Great and Nice! ! ! Kindly rate and comment on my poems too
