What Seamus said. I cannot add one word to his comment that would add one slight measure of value to what he said. I know when to shut

The reality of humanity is that it is often a deep complexity of entangled desires and motives; weaknesses, failures, shortcomings and aspirations for something far greater. A man who loves his wife, but cannot tame his wayward desires. A wife who sees the best in her husband, perhaps shunning the hints of truth for a greater, more desirable narrative. A truth that breaks her heart and kills her soul. A man left alone with truth and death. A neatly packaged, tightly written poem that, in ironic contrast, tackles the messy reality of humanity without rendering it tritely or superficially, but effectively and strikingly releases the pathos of the consequences of our mortality.

Could not bloom again! ! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.

A poem of unrequited love that has a sad end with her death. It has very nice flow and rhyming. Congrats for being poem of the day.

He loved her and he was untrue.... time and again a woman faces this.....time and again she is hurt to the point as to die for that unfaithful love.......a man never wakes up before losing it all. Complex emotions portrayed so beautifully.

Harriet is buried in a distant land far away from her beloved Chicago. I feel that her best poem is: A Play Festival In Ogden Park. I listen to it often, it should remind us of our youth when we were all Young and Carefree. Harriet is one of my favorite poets.

He saw love in unusual way!I appreciate the creative art.
