This is a poem of great quality and I'm taking it as a favorite. Its a ten for sure because of your creativity and the message that was so clearly transmitted. I wish I could find more poems like this one. GW62
Fantastic. You're someone who feels visionary. Glow of life and the sensation of existence - inebriated by it and no one else seems to experience it. I relate to this. Well done.
Hi Olivia, beautiful work and unique voice, i trust we will find more here soon! The poem reminds me of a line in the song 'starry starry night' written by Don Mclean for Vincent Van Gogh. At the end he says, 'i could've told u Vincent, this world was never meant for someone as beautiful as you.'
From one autodidactic poet to another (aparently) , I really enjoyed this poem - especially from one so young! If only more eyes were opened to this unseen or ignored truth and seek after the reality that lies hidden in the shadows - never to see the light of a news camera - there might be some hope for the planet! ! Thank you for your poem, Olivia. If you have the chance, I have one in a similar vein: 'Divided and Conquered' - juxtapose that with another, 'In The Waters Of Life' and I think you've rolled up two in one... Good job!
A nice poem of vision, with an apt title. 'For if you only know of what others teach you, What the are you living for? ' - That's right, a good question to ask at the end.
