Notes About The Poem

Bite Size Poem No.66 Poetry Contest, Sponsored by Line Gauthier

Heaven Only Knows

 Dream home and career? Check. 
    Respect and prestige? Check. 
 Success? Money to burn? Check. 
   Yet, he still remains unfulfilled. 
 What colossus could be missing?

The thing I would miss if I had all that, would be children in his life to share his money and home, admire his career, and learn from his example of respect and prestige, and offer him love and family. I guess this is not a prerequesite for some. Each reader of your thought provoking poem will have a different answer, I am sure. Well done, so few words to make us contemplate and admire your unique ability.

Yes, it's meaningless without having anyone to share it all with, SV. Thanks for the awesome feedback and visit!

Yet, he still remains unfulfilled. What colossus could be missing? --I am guessing he is missing love. May be some people are never satisfied.
