The cross
The hands
that pray for hope.

This is such a solemn and painful poem, perhaps that's the cost of writing the truth, it often comes out to be filled with sorrow,
A lovely poem regardless,

Youth is wasted on the young, we are all careless eager to make mistakes, rush head first into everything or lay back and do nothing
Under the tender caress of time though, even dandelions find a way to grow through the thick shackles of concrete, life and will have a way of leading things, we can never understand.
A very truthful poem

Empathy can really make us write wonders like these, you can feel what she is going through, the anguish and the fear, hopefully to some extent I pray her confusion is replaced by acceptance
A very powerful poem

This sickness has divided and forced into seclusion so much more than ourselves, it has made our very soul retreat,
A beautiful poem,

Thanks for reading and sharing your insights Jordyn, Abdul, Moongirl, and MC. This poem was a rant from dealing with moody teenagers all week. Poetry is the way I purge the negativity. It works every time, thankfully. I changed the accompanying video at least a dozen times. Started with the theme from Gilligan's Island, then moved towards videos that made it about the kids, settled on one with a relaxing theme that is more about me needing to balance life between work and play. WOL is a great escape!

Provocative but with that sting of reality. The Age of Aquarius is now
The Age of Entitlement. The accompanying music video seemed to represent an overwhelming trait today - loud and insistent...like
people shouting their demands to be taken notice of. .

Liked this one! Here in Italy the kids have been off school since March, and won't go back until September. Online teaching hopefully will have kept them up with the basics for this year, but it isn't at all the same as being at school with friends, (and enemies). There isn't the interaction between the kids, also not all have internet on whatever at home, so I don't know how those children managed. They are discussing whether to have 'summer schools' to bring those few kids up to date. Children apparently usually don't get the virus so frequently, and in a less serious form, because their immunity system isn't so fully developed. That is what I heard anyway. Better be alive and kicking, and a little behind with the syllabus!
Always enjoy your poems. Jennifer

Glad to find you weren't disappointed, Keith! You say you came back in the 'fullness of summer', hope you managed to cope with the long winters OK! You seem to have really enjoyed your 'exiled' years, and adapted to other people and cultures, as you say. This is very enriching, and makes one appreciate one's own country and people, but also view life there more objectively. Great writing.

Beautiful wording, and although about an everyday theme holds one's attention all the way through. I think we all have a cupboard, attic or cellar like this.

Terrifying, but sympathetically described.Don't see the person either as an enemy or a deeply loved one , seems more a person who she has read or heard about, and knows what happened to her. Hope she didn't have to wait too long for liberation

Nice one! The trouble is that one remains an urchin at heart. My husband is really embarrassed because I fly a kite on the beach, even though in the evening when not so many people are around, and help build huge sand cities with the kids, not suitable activities for eldery females!!! I would have loved a pair of rollerblades too, but they arrived too late for me. The time in hospital after breaking something would not have been worth it. Glad he hit the post!

Down the memory lane.....reminds me of my own cupboard which I opened after many years. So many memoirs and memories came dropping down.....excellent piece I must say.
Keith your poems have always attracted my attention, for the reasons of figures of speech you use so comfortably. It delights a reader to read such poems in today's time.
Well done I must say?
