Crying Cactus Comments

Lovely Title: Smart Alliteration. Even a rude looking one, is not always rude in the inside. A thought provoking poem, well worded and in brevity. I looked at the title and I clicked to read the poem, but what do I see? I had responded last year, WOW! Exactly in the same month December! A brilliant poem though a brevity. A 10 full vote.

It is not always true what you see from the outside. A thought provoking poem, well worded in brevity. Thank you for sharing this intriguing poem.

Perfection captured in a few lines! Very touching as most wouldn't care to think, rather than the appearence of things

Sheer truth in a few lines! I loved it!

Nice touching poem.Expression of emotion in few word really attracts.Best wishes.

aww this is sweet but also so right and it clearly shows how most people nowadays just look on the outside for beauty.

The poor cactus, filled with water on the inside yet avoided for it's spikes. The poem seems to hint that the spikes were put in by someone else and that it isn't it's fault. Nice little poem. We'll forget the fact the water packing the inside of a cactus is poisonus too :)

nice and perfect its is really good

Ha Ha I love that one Vijay, and so very true. Regards ~ Res

nice yaar. really nice...

I don't often agree with those who wish to rewrite others' work, but sometimes I do. Some poems are not worth a rewrite. this one is. I agree with Elysabeth below. The Nobody deserves a rethink. Read mine - O Dearest Love - Adeline

This is beautiful..the title really does a lot for it!

I see what you've done there. Going for utter simplicity. Well done. I read a couple more of your poems, and see that you are also a sensitive soul in this harsh world of ours. I wonder what can come of this. Thanks for the invite.

Splendid metaphors... and glorious images! hard and prickly protection but inside like everything else a soft heart ~Bella

beautiful! though sounds sad, but good for it, for it's tender heart it survives in the desert.

well well that one sounds sad, the cactus good for it, it has a tender heart that is why it to survives in the desert.

Well, I DID leave a comment! What is going on now? I am too full of thorns. Who dares think a tender heart inside? You have a marvelous poem there. Hope this helps you take out some of the wordiness. I hope this helps.

Meter is 6-6-9...this is haiku/senryu. I am full of thorns. Who dares think a tender heart inside.[[[period]]]]]does this help you tighten this wonderful poem? ? ? Just a thought! ! !

Well said. I wish the cactus said something more, its qualities abound, you see...

Unfortunately Vijay, world goes by superficial look not what z internal, well said! ! !
