Hello Ada I read We Are Surprised i loved. The poems words and flow. Nice write Val Brooklyn Rogers
I loved the car's eye imagery and the optimism of the leaves which break our fall when we are desperate.
Stunningly poetically beautiful examination of our mistreated world. This poem is executed perfectly. Most definitely a 10+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++.
It's hard to believe we didn't know that before; it's hard to believe we were so hollowed out, so drained, only so we could shine a little harder when the light finally came. Nice poem with deep thoughts.
Indeed, best way to live is to find the strength from within. Congrats on being poet of the day!
We're not so much homeless as we are home free, penny-poor, but plenty lucky for love and leaves that keep breaking the fall. Here it is: the new way of living with the world inside of us so we cannot lose it, and we cannot be lost. You and me, are us and them, and it and sky. Your words and the poetic sense is classy...loved the poem.10 for it. Thanks for sharing it. Subhas
