Mortal and Happy

Really enjoyed this Pia, like that image:

We are like those trees ,
stripped bare
of all cover and protection
from the raging storms of winter.

Seems like at the minute you are spending a lot of time thinking about the big questions(?) and this is finding its way into your poems. Felt too late to comment on Diversity, but well done on a brave write. :-)

Thanks for reading fatboy.
also on Diversity- I do a lot of thinking- love it especially when I can put it into writing

Hello Pia,
this is one of your best poems, you have put so much
emotion into it. Winter can be a hard time, but with
strength and perseverance, there is nothing that we
cannot overcome. Thankyou for sharing your feelings.

like the naturalism (indifferent reality) present in the piece. especially liked the comparison to trees in an 'autumn storm'. although the piece starts off relatively dark, it maintains poetic flow and still has organic beauty..

cheers

hi Pia - I really liked the comparison to trees and seasons in this poem too. Beautiful and very relevant to the time of year. Well done

Jenny- thank you for the kind words- am happy to share anytime. I can't help myself;) hehe so glad you liked this one

The sentiment of this poem will stay with me I think, I love the second half especially.

Thanks a lot shoe. glad you could distract something from it ;)

As with a lot of your pieces, Pia, I found myself somewhat identifying with this.

Well done. Enjoyed;-)

Love your use of nature, specifically: The winter is our happiness, freezing and waiting for the spring.

Thanks Tina ;)

Thanks for reading and for your comment Maggy

Exposed to the elements indeed! That human disposition of undeserved happiness. Some people feel so undeserving that moments of happiness actually cause them pain.
I loved this

Oh no pain here just an occassional wariness.
