Notes About The Poem

THE QUESTION MARK



Each one of us is a question mark,

Striving, 

An exclamation point to become!

Valsa, my beautiful friend. What a marvelous surprise to receive your visit! Well, I do not post much anymore, but I have already published five books. The last was published in June 2026, on Amazon. Do not forget, God willing, on the 15th of August I will be 82 years old! This is a big question mark, hahaha! Blessings.

Simplicity of Socrates, the hope of our Demetrios Trifiatis! -Richard

Thank you for reminding me that Socrates was my ancestor. I am honored to be his descendant and to live in the same city he lived in, in the same neighborhood he had his home, and to walk on the same ground he walked on. Furthermore, I am happy to have inherited his ignorance by following his line of thought that he knew nothing. So, Richard, I have a PhD in philosophy from a Canadian university, which proves that I know nothing! A philosopher means: Friend of Wisdom, not wise. My five books, and my 3478 poems that are all here at PoetrySoup, can prove that I am trying to escape from Socratic ignorance, but to no avail! Therefore, no need to remind me of simplicity and hope. YOU, MY FRIEND, VISITED ME TODAY AND LEFT THE ABOVE COMMENT NEXT TO THE COMMENTS OF TWENTY-THREE FELLOW POETS. HOWEVER, THE WORD CONGRATULATIONS IS MISSING FROM YOUR COMMENT. I WONDER WHY? GOD BLESS YOU!

Demetrios, congratulations and high fives for your POTD! It is said that the best things come in small packages - precious treasures and moments of pure wisdom! So it is with this poetic gem, dear friend! I love the image of all of us as question marks as a question invites pondering, musing and seeking for an answer - truly a life journey! Be blessed and filled with joy!

Hello Demetrios, Congratulations on POTD! Your poem says so much in so few words and I love a great philosophical twist. As a Plato fan, I often tell my clients that the highest evolution of a question is not certainty… but depth. Congratulations again, my friend! Blessings, Daniel

As a student of Plato, I understand you, my kind friend, Daniel. For that reason, I try to follow in his footsteps, although it is very difficult. Thank you for your lovely message. Blessings.
