An Old Story Comments

One of my favorite poets, he speaks to the hearts of all of us. Beautiufl.

I realized this poem thank for sharing this poem

This poem is lean and powerful to any of us who have struggled with envy. To value the one he, in retrospect, could call friend indicates growth. But of course it would been better if he would have appreciated him in life. It took me a while to embrace the biblical encouragement to consider others better than ourselves. Besides the fact that there always are people better than us, how we need others to see ourselves. -GK

Regret usually comes after someone's death, as we can read here in this brevity of a poem. BUT E.A.R. can write lengthy, very lengthy poems, like AVON´s HARVEST, consists 8.898 words, you would not believe that. Just look that up here on PH. This Poem is correctly chosen as TCPOTD (The Classic Poem Of The Day) . I like his poems very much, his poem has a tint of ironic tune, but so subtile and smartly rendered. Love it!

the sad in this poem is he didn`t knew the worth of him until he died.

Such rhyme and rhythm in profound thoughts

They've gone and they're going and they'll go silently without complain; disdain and with merry Here I, the living soul, will understand it after his/her departure

Such a great write by Edwin Arlington Robinson👍👍👍

Wonderful...it's sad that many people realise someone's worth when they're death..
