Heady

I fell again to grow in wisdom,

My life pretends to beat the drum,

And I confessed, 

Opening your bottle of rum.

Tell me now, as I’m ready 

Why are your lessons so heady?

And he replied,

"My lady

Young you are,

But

Steady."

I confess to enjoying the poem but having the deeper meaning go over my head initially. Eventually it took on a personal meaning for me.

Welcome back...

Seems we always learn something - sometimes even of our selves - after we "fall" ...but damn the ouches get tired.

wisdom, which we want so much. we want ourselves to be wise and mature. it is the poem which makes me realize that i cant be mature enough because i am young. The last paragraph is beautifully written by you.
Keep writing!

Mariam, did you first write this in Russian and then translate it into English? I could almost believe you did.

I really especially liked the first stanza, it embodies so much of the Russian psyche.

[Mariam]

No, I didn't :) Why do you think so?
Thanks for stopping by!

При�™ет!

This is awesome! So playful with the words and rhythm. I've been getting into Haiku, but your style on this piece is so cool.

I feel like with this poem I'm getting a little window view into one of your relationships.

I had a relationship with a lady who was older than me, she taught me much ;)

Great poem, well written and well read.

I've just started learning Russian, so please excuse my terrible Cyrillic.

Очень приятно!

[Mariam]
