I really like the way you begin this piece with, "fool that I am" for this represents a certain amount of wisdom as no fool will recognize himself as a fool. I find this poem to be beautiful in its attempt at introspection and self understanding. Great job! :-) |
| Posted by Ashok Sharda on 04/05/05 at 05:28 PM Yes, as Rula has put it rightly, a fool cannot realize he is a fool . This realization it self is so beautiful, a begining. But there are obstacles in the shape of our own selves, who so easily gets energized by their associations and takes charge of us as us.Conflict is the only course, with a predetermined decision to WIN. Conflict is the only solace and proof of the fact that we are alive. I see this conflict here. |
