Thank you AIDA for your thoughtful in-depth analysis and commentary. It is greatly appreciated. I find it quite instructive.

Thank you, rameshs.88917, for your diligence in reading this composition and offering an in-depth commentary.
Thank you also for your supportive vote.

The portrayal of nature as a carousel
that merrily goes around and around!

Charmingly delightful. Just as the routine of washing dinner plates over the many years has become so therapeutically beneficial to her, even more so is her soothing caring hand stroke beneficially therapeutic to you. more »

Heaps of thanks for all who have offered comments.

My Dear Readers,
Once more I offer you my heartfelt gratitude for your supportive comments. I must inform you, nevertheless that, unlike Robert Louis Stevenson’s charming four-stanza nineteenth century poem, “My Shadow,” which is aimed primarily at children, and is, upon analysis, a portrayal of the ego’s simplistic or childlike view of one’s shadow, this poem offers an in-depth psychological perspective or insight, and therefore seeks, as compensation, to also portray the shadow’s image of the ego. The opening lines of Stevenson’s poem reads as follows:
“I have a little shadow that goes in and out with me,
And what can be the use of him is more than I can see…” more »

Beautiful. Our lives are like the waves of the ocean, ever roving forwards and backwards, capturing memories of the distant past in the transitory present.

Consistently outstanding work!

This is the kind of “Mugshot “ that is most uplifting!

Thank you ver much, StylesRobin.

Bella, I thank you for capturing the essence of the poem and providing an insightful understanding of Carl Jung’s prefatory remarks. Yes, we all need to attend to and abide by the wisdom of our inner world. more »

Oops, how with what irony the autocorrect on my phone changed my intended word from olvidando (“forgetting”) to olvidado (“forgotten”).

Oh, Mark, the irony of your poem’s opening lines that invites us, and equally you as well, to consider this: “No te estás olvidado de algo?” (In translation, “Aren’t you forgetting something?”). Perhaps you will do better by accompanying your poem with a translation; and your followers, not all of whom are bilingual or multilingual, will do better in offering their vote. I will start the ball rolling. more »

Thank you, AIDA, for your abiding uplifting support.

Purple Orchid, Purple Heart. A metaphorical portrayal of the the flame of sacrificial love with heavenly wings, in the flight and fancy of the Beloved!

Ay, Dios mío. Tenemos aquí entre nosotros un poeta romántico de sueños y de palabras elegantes!

Thanks, Bella. It’s ‘indeed ‘cool’ to know and accept that we are, or ought to be, much more than our subjective ego that likes to be in the limelight.

Thank you, Kaytee.
Being shadowed everywhere we go is a reminder that much is expected of us as divinely crafted spiritual individuals of much more than flesh or blood.

Mothers are truly special. Consider, especially, the blessed mother of Lord Jesus, the fruit of her womb, richly blessed among all mothers.

Thank you, very much. This acrostic poem was written on behalf of Dr. Maurice Irvin, a retired pastor, who now of some 94 years, is in residence in a nursing facility.

Thank you, chinamcc8, for your pointed comments. As mortal beings, we all, from time to time, need to turn within ourselves, to acknowledge our faults, our shortcomings, to confess that none of us is perfect; that we all need healing; to reach out to one another and display tender loving kindness. more »

Isn’t it wonderful to rejoice when humanity can come together in harmony, instead of waging warfare with one another? Let’s all work towards that effort in every corner of the world. As it says, in Psalm 133:1 of the Holy Bible (Hebrew transliteration and followed in English transcription): “Hineh, mah tov hu mah na’im shevet akhim gam yakhad”/ “Behold, how good and how pleasant it is when brethren gather together in unity!” more »

Thank you so much, Byfaith. Many blessings.

Thank you, Bella, for your endorsement. It’s greatly appreciated.

Thank you, inevvitabilis, for your precious support.
