| Posted by Philip F De Pinto on 11/19/11 at 12:38 PM another splendid effort George. your poetic temperament is certainly that of an archeologist's. you leave no stone unturned in this one, unearthing so many glow worms to light our way. |
| Posted by Lori Blair on 12/05/11 at 11:34 PM dang it! we fail to see ourselves because we make excuses..we lie to ourselves for our heart-failings..but we can SEE, we just need to overcome the need to believe we are all good. Brilliant! |
| Posted by Linda Fuller on 12/13/11 at 01:25 AM Your last stanza nails it. Great write. |
| Posted by Kristina Woodhill on 01/13/15 at 04:00 PM Well said, George. That word "strut" is so descriptive, a vivid beginning image to this poem. You present us with our very human methods of figuring out our very human foibles. I agree with Linda Fuller about that last stanza. Congrats on POTD! |
| Posted by Linda Fuller on 01/13/15 at 08:39 PM Glad to see this as POTD! |
| Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 01/14/15 at 02:32 AM Excellent analysis of the human condition, George. Strong opening stanza drew me right in and continued to the finish. Don't know how I missed this one in 2009, but better late than never. Congrats also on POTD...well deserved! |
| Posted by Rhiannon Jones on 01/14/15 at 03:17 AM Insightful analysis, and a well-put-together poem. Love it! |
| Posted by Philip F De Pinto on 01/15/15 at 02:25 PM congratulations George on POTD. I feel any one of your poems can and should be POTD. Your poetry should be required reading for human beings, give there is much humanity in each and every poem. |
