Any opinion on this poem?

Question

Her Face

There are so many things

happening these days.

Wars, human suffering,

anguish, loss, hopelessness;

all good reasons to be

resigned to the depravity

and fall of man

and then . . . . .

I see her face.

Her face, aglow with innocence,

the spirit of life; life in its prime.

She is beauty, she is laughter;

I feel alive and invigorated,

as if injected with

nectar of the gods;

given a sweet taste of heaven.

All else pales.

Perhaps, in this, there is reason

to go on . . . .

a reason to plan for tomorrow;

to be strong today and live,

determined to overcome

the darkness of our times;

found in the faces of our children.

We endure,

we continue;

we live for them.

Answer 1

Oh, Autum, This is precious, you have captured the utmost

of our feelings, in these overwhelming changing times of

our negative feelings. Bravo!

Answer 2

Very nicely put and  a positive finish, I like that!

We all need a boost now and then to freshen our thoughts, to stir them in the right direction, and your poem does do that!!

I really like it, thanks for sharing!! Cheers !!

Answer 3

It's rather simple, but still fairly effective. It's a hopeful poem and the word choices and analogies are simple to grasp (i.e. it could be more interesting, to me). I'm much more inclined to enjoy a darker poem, but I must admit that this one works albeit a bit elementary.

Answer 4

Its a cute poem-a touch cliche in parts-I don't feel all the emotion behind it, it reminds a little of a greeting card put there to tug at the heart strings

Answer 5
