This is a wonderfully written poem. It must be read several times to get all you are saying. I think your words are important enough to ponder. I like when a poem stirs up so much to think about.

Comment from connied
Very strong--asks some hard questions:
Would he stand as stone on principles
Or bend to the ever moving passage of age
and you close with another strong point:
With the conflict of never finding peace,

Comment from Valkarie
I like this because... Your poem flows so well is concise and powerful with a visual aspect to it. Your piece has a good balance and is very inspiring with a good tone which captures the tension of the piece in its entirety. An artistic write with an emotional feel and complexity that has an artistic expression.

Comment from Penpal
This is a very powerful poem which points out questions that we face in life. I espcially like the last line which shows if wrong choices are made, there will be no peace of mind. NIcely done

Comment from Joan E.
I admired your picture choice to illustrate your words--I assume it is of you and your father. I enjoyed your use of questions to draw us into your reflections. I also especially liked your "stone" simile.

Well done G W, your best piece yet, very captivating, very cleverly thought-out, you must be quite a smart man to put all this together and it all make sense.

Comment from Amicus
This is a thought provoking poem, deepwater. I like the first part of it with the rhetorical questions that pull the reader right into the narrator's thinking process. And you have some nice phrases--this soul of a man...will he stand as stone on principles...the ever moving passage of age--all are original and well turned phrases. The poem IMHO gets lost mid way through when suddenly there is no punctuation to guide the reader and make the questions stand out. There are also several awkward phrases and incorrect pronoun usage--what outcome can benefit is a strange phrase...how do outcomes benefit...don't people benefit or not benefit from outcomes? ...the aspirations of what can be achieved is also strange to me, don't people have aspirations and achieve them or not? you seem very vague and wordy here...and the idiom is understanding of not understanding to as you phrase it in this poem.. isn't it? And finally, isn't the idiom under the premise that not under the premise of as you state it? Some tightening and polishing of language would make this a much better reflective piece IMHO.
