JoelJosol Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Hungry stomachs make sounds but some speeds are measured in mach. So, how do you measure an altercation between parent and child? Heavy rains are advertised by a strong, cold breeze. So, how did you miss the sound of tears now tearing the inside skin of your ears? Don't blame the weather. Birds still fly together those of the same feather. Why not slow down? What's the point of being there and not here?

Aleksandra Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Dear Joel. This poem is fascinate. How this poem goes to the end , it's growing in more and more powerful poem. I love this expression: Heavy rains are advertised by a strong, cold breeze. So, how did you miss the sound of tears now tearing the inside skin of your ears? Sound of tears sounds perfect , I love that expression. Then at the last part Birds still fly together those of the same feather that is wonderful written and with some melancholic voice. Why not slow down? What's the point of being there and not here? This question is on the right place, very wise and very moving. This poem is wonderful Joel, I loved Thank you so much for sharing this poem.
