not going deep........significant..........profound piece........thank u.......anjandev roy.
Glad you enjoyed the nature trip, Robert! ! ! ! ! And that it is shelved with your other favorites! ! !
Skimmer! ! Dipping here and darting there! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
This lovely poem engenders, a carefree, bien etre (well being) and the simple enjoyment of nature and life. Just being part of Nature's plain site. A tranquilizing and sweetly conceived, delight! You have a special way Of reaching the reader's soul That is deeply and enchantingly, Yours, and yours alone, It's like coming back home.
Yes! You as usual understand. Your comments lift me up every time. Thank you for being a good friend to all of us on PH.
Susan, this verse is a true reflection on life. Most of us, perhaps just to survive, 'flit back and forth'. You've reminded me that we also do say that we need 'to read a situation' before we make any decisions. And some of us do no more reading than is necessary just to 'catch' the odd word we assume is meaning for a whole. A perfect 10! !
Mj- - Love the way you dive into members' poems and find every pearl you can find- this way we know if we are getting our thoughts across- -thank you so much for giving us the validation of your time and thought
dipping here and darting there weaving through the willows breezing over the lily pads in its flighty zippidy-doo-dah manner flipping back and forth like life is a boring book whose pages can be leafed through......touching and haunting expression. A beautiful philosophical poem so nicely executed. This poem values more for my second visit. Thanks again.
Thank you for the compliments on this piece- - one of which is reading it more than once! ! !
Your horse has taken you so fast and far like Becephalus of Alexander the great and you have left all smaller poets like poet me far behind in a desert of heat lonely to find a new group who may become one day poet me's followers though although I 'd love to see you on your horseback flying towards the peaks of eternity where none else can ever each
Delightful! Your comparisons were both diverse and unique and cheerful! Very delightful tone and the admonishment for sour comments was gently delivered. I think 90% of the PH members try to encourage others and point out the verses they find awesome or the poetic skills they think shined. I must admit I paused and reread several times - -] Or like a fresh wave of words crashing and cresting upon the turf
You tickled me with this comment! ! ! ! ! ! ! Ha! ! ! ! I wish I were up to speed and could try a witticism on you! ! ! But hopefully I'll sharpen up, just you wait! ! ! ! Haahahahahahahahahaha, thank you for cheering me up, my friend!
A fascinating light poem, treading delicately, skimming poetically playfully in a fine delicate way. Awesome muse here. Kudos. Warmest greetings pal. Soo nice to read from your inking again, Pleez do write your thoughts/comment under my newest poem too titled, a tribute to every new poem
Thank you so much for such a delightfully written comment! ! ! I'm sorry I was so long in answering- having eye problems so I am limiting my time on PH. . Am zipping over to read your poem, dear friend.
The fear of the unknown can be overpowering. Just a skimmer playing it safe, hoping for hope before its too late. A light, fresh but instructive poem that for true change and adventure we must be willing to take a chance or we will just be skimming through life. The poem was written in a unique and original style.
Thank you, Captain, for the very insightful comment. I really appreciate it that you find this a worthwhile write and read!
susan, i like this! the simile at the end of the first stanza surprised me, and, of course, gives this poem oomph! and applications it wouldn't have without it. and i like in particular zippidy-doo-dah manner for its combined warmth and descriptiveness. hoping you're well, and may we be saved from being mere skimmers when we should be going deeper. -glen
This poem did take a sharp turn didn't it? Some poems do that- the naughty things!
Living life in fear. Living lightly not really experiencing life in it's fullness...in it's richness with the attendant challenges at that depth...The skimmer might remain dwarfed by fear of entanglement and that big fish...will never learn of their power. The imagery and analogue in your poem are amazing. Thanks for sharing this piece.
Thank you Haidee. I enjoy your in-depth comments- -they teach a writer what he/she does right or does wrong! ! ! I thank you very much for reading and commenting so astutely!
A rock skips for a moment of momentum, then sinks to the depths, there remaining, becoming a part of the whole, bathed in the flow of the water....
Delightfully dapper, with colourful chatter the imagery wheezes, and soars like the retinas of a birds wings, sauntering through vistas of breakneck speed. An original write.
Hi there Kevin, thank you for dropping by and reading this and commenting on it... a very original comment! ! !
Your lovely, well penned poem caused much reflection Susan. I thought about this little insects activity and likened it to people I have been aquainted with. There is much to be said of taking time to smell the roses, investigate a little deeper, or savour longer that piece of pie. I then thought of those who believe that to survive one must be cautious, or apply onself thinly...(thinking of that big mouthed fish lurking in the deeper unknown) .10+
Simone! ! ! ! It is such a pleasure to read your comments- -you are definitely not one of those who skim over a poem and dart away! ! ! Bless your heart! ! ! !
Thank you so very much! ! ! ! ! Were you able to get through the UNENDING FOREST OF ADS to vote? ? ? ? ? Thank you for the thought! ! !
How deeply and so beautifully written! .. An ever so moving poem! .. Thank you dear for sharing this! .. Ever ever so very many 10S! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! +++++
Rebecca dear, thank you so very much for your comment. Were you able to get through the unending forest of ads to get to the voting booth only to have it disappear just as you tried to vote? i guess PH has shown us what it thinks of us.... sigh
Hi Susan, :) Thankfully I was able to vote on all the poems I've read so far! .. But, noticed the adds on another poet and when you reached the bottom the voting disappeared...Why is that happening?
This is a beautiful poem on lifestyle having touching expression and nice collocation. The theme of the poem is nice too. I cite.... in its flighty zippidy-doo-dah manner flipping back and forth like life is a boring book whose pages can be leafed through and only the occasional word be read Thanks for sharing.10
Thank you for reading and commenting, my friend! ! ! Could you really get through the miles of ads to vote it a 10? ? ? ? ? ?
