Blessing Or A Curse? Comments

I always ask the same question you know.. some times it s not good to be so much emotional.. and when the love is not returerned it hurts too... this is nice..and i like the argumentative manner in which you presented your poem.... with lvs shan

Linda, Well said ... and that is not easy to say well.

Linda this is a beautiful analysis of how we connect and are connected to all thiings. Emotion mediates all that we are and all that we do, and memory keeps it alive. So long as we truly want to live, love binds us to all of this world and to all of this life, and none of it is truly separable from the whole or any sub-part. But still we are selfish creatures made of flesh and blood when all is said and done and therefore we suffer from time to time or in part. Loved this very thought provoking and lyrical journey into the soul. Sorry to rabbit. You got me thinking. x jim

Linda, I think your rhymes work well. You've expressed a mystic's sense of the power of love. Having done that, you surprised me a little at the end by mentioning the word 'curse'. It can certainly be suffering for the lover, but previously you'd given me a sense of 'long-suffering love' and that the power goes out, accepted or superficially rejected. Having said that, I certainly understand what you mean, and I'm writing this after one quick reading. My overwhelming impression of your piece is positive, by a long shot.

What an absolutely outstanding poem, Linda. We humans often fail to remember that we are all tied to a common thread. I have to tell you this is, without a doubt, one of your best quillings. And by the way, there is nothing erroneous in the slant rhyme of seems / thing.

Wow... great write, Linda! A truely objective 'love' poem... accurate and really well done! Brian

Love's a powerful emotion - Curse or blessing? it is a question.^^ all the things happened in the word 'love'. u experieced everything and the poem will come out

When you determine the answer, bottle it and sell it... Seriously, L, you express the questions we all ask, the pros and cons we feel, the highs and the lows... but more eloquently than we all do so internally, for sure. A very fine, flowing, begging-the-question piece. t x

LInda, this comes from a place deep inside you which is perfection. You have captured the shining and the ecstacy with lyrical finesse and great beauty. I applaud your love and your words. Affectionately Allie xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Praiseworthy Linda and it's written on the coin both sides. And you toss choose a side?

very indepth conception Linda, nicly written too

Now, as has been mentioned, and consequently as you have not changed it, I'm assuming the non-rhyme in the 1st stanza is intentional. Either way, my score will be inTENsional. Loved it Linda. Danny

Linda...Insightful. Critical & Prophetic...need i say more?

A good question. Well argued and answered. Enjoyed your poem very much. I would have liked the rhyming scheme to have started in the first stanza as it ran so beautifully through the rest. But no matter, I do it all the time! Great work, Patrick

A lovely poem, Linda, and in my opinion you have it just right. Love is a mixture of both. Well put together... Love, Fran xx

Perfect construction, Linda....Rhythm/rhyme in fine sync....A splendid write, there Midnight...''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''FRANK
