Notes About The Poem

The Mirror

I realized that You would always utter awareness. 
As though you saw yourself to be fragile and goalless.
Youth retreat, assuming themselves were worthless.
If you look into a mirror, you will moot your uniqueness. 
It is self-evident that we will all be cloaked in murkiness. 
A utopian world will vanish, leaving utter worthlessness.

David Kavanagh June 3, 2021 at 2:31 AM One mans Utopia is another mans dystopia, look in the mirror to moot our uniqueness, absolute truisms in you poem as always Lasaad, we are all cloaked in murkiness, can we ever be sure the exact nature of our own, let alone another’s soul, great introspective piece with extrospective meaning, cheers David Sotto Poet June 3, 2021 at 3:32 AM David, your intelligent comment reminds me to concentrate on the nature of our own inadequacies. It made me recognize that our misfortunes stem from a mistaken perception that our problems are caused by the environment rather than the root of the problem, which is ourselves. You inspired me with a new poem Idea. Thanks, dear friend.

Victor Buhagiar June 2, 2021 at 11:29 PM I wonder if you are retired. Your poems seem to come so spontaneous and well constructed. Best for a win. Sotto Poet June 3, 2021 at 3:20 AM Thanks for your meaningful comment, dear friend Vicor. Poetry involves feeling, music, gesture, and symbol. Through the artwork, the reader may reveal various untapped themes. This looks to be a simple find. Heart ideas are conveyed from heart to heart whether or not someone is working.

Rama Balasubramanian June 2, 2021 at 5:50 PM Wonderful poem. All the best for the contest. Thanks for your comments on my poem subconscious mind and for using the word prose. I changed the poem form to prose poetry. Shall I put it as prose or prose poetry? Would be glad if you would let me know. Sotto Poet June 2, 2021 at 6:40 PM Thank you very much for your nice comment, Rama. I truly appreciate it. In response to your question, I believe that prose poetry is more convenient since it is akin to a book, is mostly used by journalists, and does not need rhythm. You may also consider utilizing free verse. Have a blessed evening. Warm Hugs
