Twilight Thoughts Comments

To my 'favorites' today. : ) bri

Isn't it great to grow old (NOT) ? When I saw the title I was unsure if I'd read this before, BUT, upon searching, I definitely HAD! ! i LOVE IT AGAIN. bri ;)

The last stanza is my favorite. Great poem.

I appreciate the comment of poet Asim. It's a precious poem of great substance with social implications. Top score.

Today I am putting this author's name, and the Poem title, AND a comment by me into my Sept. '22 showcase of poems, listed as one of 'my poems' in my PH list of 'my' poems.

The first two stanza begin with 'If', which causes me to ask: 'What IF there is NOT 'inspiration' nor 'style'? ? ? ?

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.

btw/by the way: 'Aging is the American variant. Ageing is the British variant. Ageing and England are both spelled with an E. Therefore, remembering to use ageing with British audiences is not difficult.'

Enough of astronomy! Back to poetry, let me finish reading your poem. ;)

The Sun appears to be rising and setting due to its its relative position to where one is on the moving Earth.

I was just thinking of that a few days ago. So, to me, the Sun is not what is rising or setting.

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

This poem is where wisdom, music and rhythm combine with effortless ease.5 stars!

Wow what a wonderful opening line, Full Starts I quote 'If the rising sun is an inspiration, The setting sun is spiritual illumination.
