I tend to agree with the thoughts expressed here. And the rhyming is at least close to EXQUISITE aka wonderful. I've been 'encumbered' too often and hope death will be better. bri : )

Perhaps Melbourne's gloom inspired you to write: good for the gloom! ! ! I give poem 5 stars.

Khairul, Though some will repudiate it, I believe this: 'As well as orbiting the Sun, the Earth is also spinning on an axis running through the North and South Poles - this is what gives us day and night'

Profound writing. The heart that sings " The setting sun is spiritual illumination. " is self- illuminating. Such heart is bright from its own inner light. Loved it. Great poetry. Great images and verbiage.top score
