RE: The Jungle
Good use of methafor to depict life as a trek through a jungle. Nicely written poem.Mick.
RE: Where is your love , God?
It is amazing how evil can follow from generations to generations.Beliefs are stronger than common sense, compassion, and human dignity.
During these times some may question if there is a God.
RE: Where is your love , God?
Salamuna, God is forever present, we who believe are protected through all circumstances. We must hold onto our faith to get us through. Remember man is of free will. I believe the bible is for filling. We must rely on God's love and grace to sustain us in good and bad times. I understand your questioning, I have been there myself. Sometimes good comes out of the most tragic situations, but when you are hurting its hard to grasp that.
RE: The Jungle
In our uptempo pace lifestyle, there are so many things that pass us by without notice. Live the moment, slow down if necessary. Time passes fast, but our life is short, so live it to your fullest. Jaded, nicely written with life's wisdom. SM
Where is your love , God?
Thank you Mick for your understanding.
Many thanks SM and Kathy for your attempt to support me.
RE: Mother Nature Speaks.
Mankind right now is on the verge of a cliff all the way around. Destroying the earth - slaughtering fellow mankind - teetering into eternal Hell for all time. Pray for us all.Kathy
RE: Where is your love , God?
Praying for you and your loved ones Lily. It is horrendous what is going on in Israel right now. The woman and children being tortured - only demons of the Devil would do such terrible things. In Revelations - it is predicted end times will be really bad. Christians too have been tortured for our faith because the Devil is desperate as he knows he is running out of time. Praying for our Lord and Savior to return soon! Sending hugs.Love,
Kathy
RE: Where is your love , God?
God isn't afraid of your questions Salamuna, while you may not know the answers, God does. No question is capable of stumping the Creator of the universe, who holds all things together. Bad things do happen Salamuna, the Bible tells is in Matthew 25:41 that one day, all evil will be done away with. Until that day, we can rely on God's grace. He doesn't always prevent tragedy, but his grace will always see us through it. I can just pray and fast for those suffering with pain and grief so that their heart may open up to the gospel.I just want to tell you about a recent testimony on my behalf. Not only that, but I was suffering from tinnitus for weeks, unable to sleep well. I was hearing my heart beat in my ears, something you do not want to have. My church group prayed over me and I told them that I will have to go to the ENT doctor. After that, my symptoms vanished in thin air. When I went to the ENT he ordered a sonogram of my carotid arteries on my neck b/c the hearing test compared to last one two years were stable, but he wanted to dig in the causes of this. When the test result can back they were NORMAL.
SMRE: Where is your love , God?
I don't blame you for questioning God at this time Lily, its really horrendous to see what lengths political leaders will go to in order to inflict devastation on their neighbours.Alas its the unfortunate civilians that suffer,
as the world just looks on. The chances of a last minute mitzvah seems very slim.
Another powerful poem written straight from your heart.
Take care Lily,
I agree with you, to discover true Passion you need to love 
PASSION'S FIRE BURNS
@southmiami4321 The way I see things, is you cant have passion without love being thereRE: Mother Nature Speaks.
Mizzy, a sonnet full of vibrant truth, Mother Nature will have its last word. Will humanity wake up to it's pleads? Nicely written, my dear poet. SMRE: PASSION'S FIRE BURNS
Manic, when passion is embraced with love, it's the highest level of pleasure. Nice. SM

Hi southmiami4321. Mizzy4Thanks, I hear you you both
Being surrounded by nature is a real blessing, a touch of Heaven on earth a peaceful welcome retreat.
Dreams or reality
Sorry to say this is from my own life .its a good way for me to get it out by writing about it thanks for your time to read my story
RE: Dreams or reality
That's so raw and profound, Abby. Your poetry paints a vivid picture of pain, despair, and the feeling of being misunderstood. I can hear the deep emotion behind your words, and it sounds like you're going through a lot. Are you comfortable talking about it more? Can I ask if your poetry is based on your own personal experiences, or is it purely from your imagination?RE: Solutions to the Migrant Problem
That's some creative thinking. It's easy to come up with ideal scenarios that would work on paper - but it's rarely that simple to implement. There are a lot of factors at play that make this a very complicated situation. But I admire your optimism!RE: In Awe
As a Nature lover I enjoyed reading your descriptive poem Happy. Its lovely to be able to step back from the rigours of society and enjoy the simplicity of Nature.Nicely penned.
Mick.
RE: Echoes of Defeat

Belated thanks to Nuwahri61 and niah9 for your comments I don’t know how I missed them at the time !RE: Solutions to the Migrant Problem
What is the the solution?"If only the people in power would take note,
Too many criminals making money out of the crowded crossings.."
Recently exposers of people in power shows corruption, greed, and making money from people not in their positions.
There has to be another solution to this problem.
RE: Solutions to the Migrant Problem
If only the people in power would take note,Too many criminals making money out of the crowded crossings...
RE: Solutions to the Migrant Problem
Good solutions, daradloff in a good sense. These people are leaving their countries b/c most of them don't have their minimum needs met. Their governments don't care much or do not want to find solutions to it. Sad as it is, poor countries throughout the world migrate to those countries they can find a better life. SMDreams or reality
Thank you for all of your comments . Depression is hard to live with sometimes .
RE: Mother Nature Speaks.
Great poem a lot of truth in your wordsRE: Drive Thru
Mizzy is right daradloff. Haiku addresses nature and senryu speaks human nature but both similar in the syllables count. Good one by the way. SMMother Nature Speaks.
Thank you AutumnChild for your welcome comments.Thanks Lily for your kind visit and your warm words.
Thanks Carlamee for your kind comments.
Thank you Daradloff, Ireland also has many new immigrants.
Regards Mick.
RE: Drive Thru
This poem is really a Senryu, daradloffGood to see you trying out new forms.
The 5/7/5 syllable count is perfect.
Mick.
RE: Remembering
Nice poem on some nice things to remember, like my days working at Hardee's back in the late 80's and early 90's.
RE: Nothing Gold Can Stay
We don’t need to follow rules Or listen to what others say We challenge meanings in the songs And head out without a reservationWe don’t care about the norms Or the judgments of society We drink out of paper bags And waste time is time not wasted
We live for the moment And enjoy every sensation We are the rebels of our age And we make our own creation
