Posterity Comments

The different images used are perfect... it shows you think through and don't just write (maybe you do) , but the poem provokes deep thought and is a must re-read.

A well crafted poem David, one to be saved for posterity methinks lol, Lynda xx

David there is a certain dewy freshness and timelessness to this poem. Great writing. Cheers Anita

'she left for posterity! ' behind your highly eloquent philosophical poem back drops you hide her beauty... very smartly! you have tremendous imaginative skills, young man!

dear david, your vision is great. i love these lines; crushed by the weight of my words, i once knew true beauty, who fell so quickly,

Your poetic vision is 20/20. Fine write, David. Warm regards, Sandra

A different style and theme from the pther poems I've read. Deep and thought provoking. Keep writing, David. You have a real gift. Love, Evelyn.

Deeply philosophical - you engage the reader from the outset and lead them through an array of thoughts and images which culminate in those final revealing lines. An impressive piece David...one that demands to be read more than once. j x

Interesting musing. Deep and introspective. Like it. HG: -) xx

this is my favorite poem by you. great as always David.

The world deluge in posterity….the images are pictographic…and the philosophical aspect behind each grabs the reader….nature, life, breath, birth all covered…a serious meditative thought…wonderful composition….

Not a word wasted; the reader is grappling to find the right words to sum up the driving notion behind the piece until you do so yourself in those last three succinct lines. t x

I was going to say someting flippant about posteriors.. but this is worth the POST and every sweet syll-able word you have placed after it...
