WHERE YOU’RE AT

It’s a cool, cool world
Where blooms speak in green silence
Calling the sunbird
                     
It’s a cheerful world
Where Nature abounds in food
Hearts pray for long winter

It’s a cruel world
Where pavement dwellers dream fire
Curse fog and their stars

    Very interesting, the different perspectives of the world we live in, from different lives. Nicely Written

    Where we stand definitely changes how we view the world around us.

    Our appreciation of weather and seasons and place should be just that - an appreciation of all we are given. It is neither inherently good nor bad. It just is what we have.
    Especially liked the last stanza.

    It certainly is a cruel world for pavement dwellers...Hope the corrupt politicians and greedy powermongers get the karma they deserve.

    Strong, mythic images. For me, it conquered up a vision of an elaborate, almost surreal painting filled with contrasts.

    The concrete does tend towards destruction-- I enjoyed the lyrical tone of the first two stanzas, beautifully penned :-)

    I really like that you've shown that the same place can mean so many different things to different people. Laurie xx

    I took a walk through your world in this poem ... such a land of different images from stark to lush ...

    It's a world of contrasts and it is unfairly split between the haves and have-nots. Thoughtful poem with a poignant last stanza...
