Vagrant Child Comments

I well understand the reluctance to read such a lengthy poem. It’s such a great and universal parable that I felt a long one was needed. The fact that you “really enjoyed it” is the goal I hoped for, so I’m pleased to know that! Thank you! Reading through it again myself brought to mind that, for some unknown reason, one of my favorite parts of the poem occurs almost halfway through in the following lines which stand out for me as perhaps a typical human response… The son remained at the gate, so awed by the grand estate with its luxury ornate and of the dominion great he feared the elder must hold that he shivered as from cold. As a final note, I appreciate that Poem Hunter permits me to post such long poems, as well as notes and supporting information! Many other sites do not…

I appreciate your telling this, Kim. And thank you very much...

Thank you, kind sir, for your encouraging words...

Thank you for your gracious comment and for reading it...
