Nice imageries and explanations well articulated.I love this format of yours..Amazing write and i like the undercurrent of logic here...well penned..
very nicely written, showing the hidden pain and struggle inside. Softly created but shows powerful meaning, Every cell of the poem is just like a piece of bleeding feather on a wing stretching so widely and desirably to the 'complete freedom'.
I find the following themes in the poem - social perception, social prejudice, the immoral desire to make it without values. David, you have brought out these themes some in an original way, but I missed the central theme of the poem which is suggested by the title.
A nice write.i liked your opening.i think that two sides are not very much distinct but are amalgamated in a way that two can not be separated how much one tries.
Everyone has their own prejudices, it is sad, but true. All we can do is try to practice being non-judgemental, and get to know people beneath their most out-loud traits. Great poem, very interesting.
a very well written poem... all too often we allow ourselves to be bound by other people's shallow conceptions of what we are... whether they judge us by color, by appearance, by sexual orientation, or by beliefs... only we can set ourselves free... by delving deep into our innermost selves, and then giving what we find to the world unconditionally.... i can tell you have deep sense of character, and deep convictions... i salute you on your journey. keep writing and sharing your gift.
I love this! i wondered why you weren't posting new poems but you were obviously working on a couple good ones!
