From: Rajendran Muthiah (Porur, Chennai-600116 India; Male; 62) To: Marieta Maglas Date Time: 7/23/2012 6: 12: 00 PM (GMT -6: 00) Subject: coward Self-introspecting lines! As you, a thinking creature, are in the cave of your conscience, probing of it is easier. But you are lonely in the shadowy form.Why this gloomy thinking? When you seek to open the doors of conscience to throw out useless things, the cowardly conscience ties your hands.It is true that 'conscience does make cowards of us all'.(I think this line is in Hamlet by Shakespeare) .The noble, introspecting soul of Hamlet procrastinates his killing of the murderer of his father. You aren't an introvert; harp on strange themes.Reading the title, I thought that you would be slandering someone.But a wonderful free verse poem is there dreaming in the cave of conscience.Excellent.

This is a terrific poem.... to throw out everything useless and to save the meaning of the things I have to keep... so well woven!

A very nice piece...this coward within

open the door, and walk free! good revealing poem!

yes, everybody has coward in him, But everyone has his own excuse, I have family and I have to work and earn, May it is true that I earn a lot, and not for me, But for the one believe me, Yet sometimes complain that no one believe another It is not cowardice, but love of life, I love my friends more than me, I am ready to die, Etc, etc., all bogus and lie! The coward in me need no fight, As in reality lazy and fear to fight, Fear to see that blinding light and Fear see one's own death, Plight felt better than fight! Excellent, Thank you!

Beautiful poem with mystic touch The flow of words is excellent a thinking form.I'm the keeper of my own idea.I'm in this cave of my conscience.I'm in the solitude of self, where only forming forms of dreams coexist with me.I'm --very nice lines Mind is like recycle bin full of dreams and thoughts You can either delet or restore My hearty thanks for reading such excellent poem Judet, the Romanian poet -KAVIN CHARALAN

Very nice. Keep going. A 10/10 for you.

Insightful and touted well the cowardly prejudice.

Amazing! A very deep and thought provoking write that I am sure touches the heart and mind of many ready like it did with me! A reservoir of meaningful words and rich imagery! 10+++ Thank you for sharing my dear friend and keep it up! I know the feeling! God Bless You! Love and Peace for always! Romeo-New York City!

Wow, a kindred soul. This is me to a T. I do so commersirate. Read mine - I Cannot Return - Adeline

This poem touches on me so much. This a work of genius.

Cowardice is innate. This poem has great depth. It takes a while to understand but its worth the effort.

This has reads one's mind, that what will happen if the cowardice and loneliness influenced.

I think we have it all inside of us all the time. Many times we feel the duality or even trigonality. The coward inside may never leave. I do not know Marieta whenever I try to follow my soul, my ego remains never quiet. Balancing the two may be the right thing. Perhaps I am interpeting the poem worngly but that is how I felt when reading this amazing poem. Very artistic, very poetic.

a very good read..very insightful... the image I get from the poem is that of a coward who is suffocating inside his own high built walls... thanks for sharing..... :)

It's what blocks us to open up fully! Well penned.

I cannot fight against this coward that lives inside of me, when I need to open this door of self in order to throw out everything is useless and to save the meaning of the things I have to keep..... Excellent structure and well said. Beautiful write. Enjoyed. Tfs
