Little

Little is left little breath sagging stem begging eyes trains come, then depart rancid smoke over grey fields I am little I saw it all

Dear Arthur, this poem reminds me of a dark heartbreaking time in the history of humanity.. Your sadly evocative poem speaks volumes to my heart and soul in the most poignant way as I can picture your thoughts so clearly through your poetic eyes. Such a treasured gift is your poetry, my dear friend. A FAV! Congratulations, Arthur on your well deserved recognition with POTW honors with your superb and emotional poem. Warmest wishes always.. ~Susan

hmmm, a bug's view perhaps? You are mastering these succinct writes, Art! From 25 words come so many thoughts.

So much thought, speculation, life, experience, and perhaps pain and disappointment wrapped up in your Little write, Arthur!

"Little" ! When you "saw it all" you realise how small, fragile, short of knowledge Man is! How absurd life is.. how limited and powerless.. Only insightful hearts, wise souls, knowledgeable minds reach that level.. A great shape poem that shakes the mind! A FAV. Thank you for sharing Arthur. Be blessed always.
