Verily, imagination is the greatest attribute of a poet
Those winds that blow away our dreams may also erase our footprints in the sand. Your poem does not ignore the frequent indifference of the world to our presence and our efforts to assert that presence. This both a sobering poem and an inspiring poem. You look without flinching at the sad truths of life but the measured rhythm of the poem never falters. It resolutely presses on to give voice to our destiny: we endure, we raise our eyes upward to see the glory of the world, we make our poems dance to prove our joy never dies. The inspiration you convey to us readers is based on a realistic view of life, no false promises clutter your speech and that honesty makes the inspiration true and sweet. I love this poem, Nosheen! It can be our anthem here at Poemhunter.
A great poem with wandering feet on the sand of time. Thank you for sharing.
So sweet! So sublime! So Nosheen! Well done my friend!
Yes, you have truly noticed. In poems words dance very mysteriously and rhythmically with emotion. Interesting drafting is shared...10
We poets can create umpteen feelings in our readers.....! Yes, sometimes our words dance..... sometimes they bleed! How aptly you have put the volatile mood and emotions of a poet! Much said in a few lines!
Short and beautiful. You have captured in this poem what others would have failed to say in a million words. I liked the casualness of it the most. (10)
yeah...really you are the poet....i like to read the poem than write.
Definitely yes. Only poets are capable of bathing in moon light, roaming in starry garden, enjoy swinging in a sling on a rainbow and so forth. Who else? Nice write. Thanks for sharing.
In a few short lines you take us poets home to our deepest voice.Inspiring, concise, a wonderful piece Nosheen 10+++++ Thank you
