How I Long Comments

This is really a beautiful poem on life having an insightful observation and nice collocation. A great philosophy is lying behind it. I quote.....But how I long to be a tiny glow worm / That keeps reeling round and round / Throwing flickers of flame around / Though cannot be a self effacing candle Thanks for sharing.

Beautifully written Valsa, the imagery is brilliant with such gentle observations expressed with such sincerity of a writer of great depth of feelings and understanding!

Beautiful poetry, soft like that dew drop. Thanks.

A very sweet and tender poem about what a simple and honest mind yearns. this mind does want to be so selfish in seeking something which benefits a greater cause (like the rainbow as example) . Avery thoughtful and wise penning from dear Valsa again! ! !

Those colourful bands fo life. Thanks for sharing.

Imagination has no bounds. One can be all that one longs to be. Sweet poem.

I agree with Kelly: this poem is BEAUTY IN SIMPLICITY. But behind the lovingly created images is a theme of rich philosophical meaning. Stating this philosophy would be heavy and abstract. A poet true to your vocation, you give us instead images which embody that philosophy, living proof of its validity. Your poem also expresses what I want to explore in the poems under the title MAKING THE WORLD FAMILIAR. The word familiar comes from a word for family, and all of your images have a family resemblance.

so so so sweet longings that I feel each one of us must have felt at least once in their lifetime. You have so beautifully crafted the poem with you wide imaginations Mam. Loved the below ones: How I long to be a lullaby sweet & But how I long to be a tiny glow worm

You have beautifully crafted the longings of life's simple joys in a poetic language. I enjoyed every bit of it. Thank you, poetess!

Imagery swept me off to begin with, then nature rang it's bell and finally the way your expressed it took it all.......Very good poem to read......I liked it. TFS.

Such lovely thoughts. Beauty in simplicity.

Longing of the poetess' heart is expressed so vividly with beautiful imagery... the poem is such an artistry. thank you.
