How amazing it is to note a real fact of life, through this poem! Whenever one has to suffer from dreadful feelings or whatever, one almost always lodges under one's own mom's shadow. Mother's love is such, the final solace lies there. Wonderfully crafted inspiring poem. Congrats for being the PoD. Thanks for sharing. X

Although it costs you countless agony, Although you cannot believe it necessary, And doubt that the sum is accurate, Please send me money enough for at least three weeks# Inspiring and beautiful poem!

I'm glad I didn't end up like this. Thank you Delmore S. for showing the downside of walking in the footsteps of Charles B. But you were both great.

Just received a copy of 'Flowers of Evil' Yesterday! How perfectly in time this poem is to be poem of the day- great work.

a sad life poem of many troubles which concludes with a begging letter?

Is this a translation from the French of poet Charles Baudelaire's poem? 'Les Fleurs du mal'? (1857-68) , If it is a poem inspired by that poet, why not say so? If it is in free verse, why not write it in prose? I face this problem when I try to write a poem. AM
