There Are Many..., There Are A Few... Comments

Rating: 4.5

There are many of those with whom you can go to bed,
There are so a few with whom you’d like to wake up,

and it is sad that… i just want to make sure you meant to type sad, not said. either word could do well there. personally, i don't think it is sad UNLESS you fail to find the person(s) who makes YOU happy/content in life. again, on a personal note, i don't think i would mind waking up with anyone with whom i was comfortable going to bed AS LONG AS i could be first into the bathroom in the morning! i enjoyed the early rhyming, but the un-rhymed parts worked well for me also. here in america [home of the brave, as the song says before baseball games] i have spoken english 'all my life'. if you are curious, i will tell you of a few very minor 'changes' i would make in your english. it's just an offer. it's a nice poem with some interesting observations, phrased nicely. thanks for sharing. and thanks for translating some russian works to english. i'll probably never read any of them, but i think it is a 'shame' that all people can't speak the same language, so at least translations are a help. :)

It's a beautiful poem! You have drawn the difference so beautifully! 'Who knows that each heard word is just brilliant As from the mouth of your darling it was said.' This is a brilliant couplet showing respect to love and the loved one. 'There are so many of those with whom you can go to bed, There are so a few with whom you would like to wake up.' These are the two facts to start the poem with, and also to end.
