Bob, yeah I agree with you there, I say what I think, not what others expect me to think!! ….and I do think different!! Yet to find someone who thinks like me!! Being positive does not mean one does not know or isn’t aware of the negatives in life. Does that answer your questions, Bob?? I will also add this, that empathy, putting myself in another’s shoe, is second nature to me.

let me finish a thought from above–

because he (Jimi) was getting physically ill from being left there as if he didn’t trust that we would pick him up. Yeah, right. It would have taken a rather humongous obstacle to keep me from picking him up.

“Run little girl run and hide…”

You caught me off guard, Shailaja, really off guard. You see, I am so ignorant about poetry. I guess that I lean toward poetry as being true and heartfelt feelings, so from what i think that I know about you (as a HRP etc.) does not square. I see you as too positive

“Lies and Deceit rule with masks
Honesty is taken to task
Friendship fled long ago
Sincerity has nowhere to go.
What is right what is wrong
When Feelings are sold for a song
In our journey Truth derails
And Love remains in misty veils”

I can’t believe that you think such things. So is poetry
sometimes fictional? Is there a deeper meaning. Or are you
being thought-provoking? Or should I quit trying to interpret
poetry?

THen, of course, you are an original thinker, saying what you think, not what others expect you to think.

I wish I could hear feedback on my comments from you or does that take away from the power of the original poem.

Of course, your poems I eagerly seek to read. Just prejudiced in favor of you and your writing I guess.

Lately, soon-to-be 37 month old Jimi (the day after tomorrow) has been saying several times a day “I do best what I do best.” He says that his teacher at “Shining Stars” (where we had to take him out last year because) taught him. He just says it at random times. I just life it. The wisdom of our toddler.

Every line depicts zillions of meanings… I just don’t know to say which line or precisely which part of this poem touches me…! Simply awesome mumma
