A questionable start to a journey you should continue on PH Sara... welcome... and the bond of age will always ensure that love will not only wrap tales around both trees and fruits of loins.. but will survive just as rats will always infest any city.... no matter what the epoch... please, do keep righting them.. one peace at a time..

A pensive deliberation on the common philosophy of man about himself. beginning, as it does, in the wrong place. It ends, as it should, there as well. The next generation clings to tradition. Love, is as it has always been. Neither an infestation nor a liberator. Love, is as it is, and has always been. The only true value. GW62

Thoughtful, insightful, well constructed and concise. I have a great deal of sympathy for this weighty, significant point of view. The trends of the world are heading in the wrong direction in my opinion, and you speak indirectly of the kind of love and balance that are much too rare.... some people are lucky enough to experience them, to live them, but I doubt if they are valued enough to be widely appreciated in a world obsessed with the shallow, with control, with disposability, with instant gratification. Welcome to PH Sara. I hope you write and post more work of this calibre. Thanks, jim.

As Tara says: Welcome! This is a beautiful piece of writing. The words read as notes sound and that makes it a great poem as far as I am concerned. I have only read this a couple of times but am bowled over by the language and the skillfull structure of the poem. A must for further reading!

Very interesting concept, and nicely crafted. Ted's got fine taste....! ! ! I thought exactly the same as Tara did after I read the last line...., but I think we're both just certified nuts when it comes to punctuation. We learned it all from Clay.

Sara, welcome to PH - and you sure came in with a bang! Like my/your good friend Ted, I see an ability to end an engaging piece with a memorable finale (though I would have liked to have seen a question mark at the end perhaps!) I enjoyed this hugely and I am looking forward to reading more of you. t x

A good poem though do I detect the cool breeze of....cynicism perhaps.

Worthy speculation Sara, however Romance and History seem sequentially locked in step. I would suggest a thought for an alternative title might be 'Sequestration of Bondage' - which would advance your postulate a little better. Welcome to Poem Hunter. Rgds, Ivan
