A Single Birthday Candle Comments

Wonderful poem, its flows well and holds together with good imagery. I have found you are very good with imagery and flow. I have enjoyed reading your works. thanks for sharing Michael

What a picture in the last two lines, , turning and lighting a single candle..still he has the courage to celebrate, , , a good write,

this little light can lighten the rest of the life....

its really a sad poem but a very nice one it surely entered my heart

the reflection in the mirror is nothing like the light of the candle - you light your way - to Chicago, to the manuscript awaiting finishing, to carousing, making finishing manuscript all the more urgent (and stringent) fantastic thoughts on the reality of the human person - reflection or light itlsef - you are the lght, michael, you're light

That's so sad, Michael. Your poem evokes many unanswered questions and sounds like the start of a novel to me. Best Wishes, Marilyn
