The Ghost of Chestshire

O bent skies, imbedd'd with wond'r! Where eyes-
Where smiles touch hues! O hopeful- O wisemen wond'r-
Where sorrow lies! In captivity my life once flew!
O time, the wise, the dying- If only man knew!

 

Answer: true freedom

Yes.. freedom to spread your wings and fly...unto unknown place.. and never to come back...! if only man knew.. love it.. amazing

[Toni Prehoda Kahler]

I am in love with your first line+ "O bent skies, embed'd with wond'r! Where eyes-/Where smiles touch hues." WOW it feels good to the mind (both rhythm and meaning)
The exhuberance is releasing to read because it is not cliche, because it is not fusty, but fresh.
Echoing other reviewers, I'll be looking for more of your postings...

It's refreshing to see thoughtful poetry that uses the English language well, as opposed to all the cliche sentimental garbage the proliferates the cafe these days. Write on.

As I'm a short story writer, would love to see some of your stories. Do post them.

True freedom is found by quest for such..........sorrow must be left behind, lies taken for what they are....lies, and reckoned with to become truth.
Seek and ye shall find, for it is truth that will set you free.
A thought provoking write!

Ah yes! That which only those who are deprived of truly know its worth. Well penned, my friend.

[Emily B]

Intelligent, lofty words. It is a pleasure to read a piece of this caliber. Welcome to the cafe; I'm definitely looking forward to reading more of your work.

Profound, well written in a structure sort of way, little words with heavy meaning. Excellent work.
