My name is Luis A. Estable and I can speak three languages: Spanish, my native tongue, English: my poetic tongue, and some French: my university tongue. In addition, I have been a poet for more than twenty years, and I write poems in several forms: sonnets, songs, haikus, children's verse, free style poetry and more. I have published several books of poetry, and I am working on two more to be published this year, hopefully To me poetry represents the most compact and most beautiful expression known to man and my advice to young poets is to try to see when they pen the difference between poetry and prose. Good poetry is never prose writing. If one keeps that in mind, he or she has a good chance of being or becoming a good or great poet.

Sonnet # 31

The errors of the eyes, some very large.
They see the sky as blue, a yellow sun.
At times, I think the eyes are nature's stooge.
The rose has thorns; that's nature having fun.
The eyes beguiled, the thorns are far from real.
But then, with...

Sonnet # 25

The poet's mind! Do I deserve such praise?
The worthy pens! Can I be counted one?
My writing poor, what man does it amaze?
I am a spark! I Shakespeare cry, the sun!
Yes, in my verse, what's new or much improved?
I am so small! poor mind that...

Sonnet # 13

You can have with tears the saddest child.
No hands to wipe the cruelness of his life.
His hardship and suffering in pain so wild
Due to his heart as if cut by a knife.
You a girl can have hates all her dreams
That have become the focus of her...

Viewing The World

A place that can be seen
As hell or given heaven.
Here we have the grass
But, too, the gorgeous rose.

Rough winter brings misery,
But sweet spring has the flower and the cheerful bird.
Some suffer, but still are those
At eased with their...

I like your take, in general is not a bad one. One thing is sure: There is much poetry in all of this. Good read!

It is not the length that makes the poem or the poem good or bad, but the writing. This here with only two short lines is a good example of good poetry. Just two verses but they speak volumes and much could be said about them. Well-done!

I see some merit in this as a love poem. I think the title in some ways represents what the poems goes on to say. Not a bad read after all.

I like these couplets. The poem is about pain that brings much sadness to the scene. I admire the simple diction to go through all of it. A good and comprehensible read.

Yes, we don't go to the elderly any more for advice and wisdom. Those good days are gone when an old person was really appreciated for he or she had lived life and knew a thing or two to pass to the young. Globalization is not all that. Many things that brought joy and stability to us and our lives are not done or practiced any more.

When I read this, I think of those who talk of the beauty of sunny days and worship the sun, but many times the sun heats too much or makes us uncomfortable with so much warm that we wish for fresher days. I think we romanticize the sun too much. Shakespeare in one of his famous sonnets says something like this, "Sometimes the eye of heaven is too hot." And he was right.

This is fine, but I am not certain what is that place that has become his holy land. Several come to mind. This poem has a somewhat sad tone.

Yes, though it never brings any consolation to stay in the past, many people do not move out of it and as a result live miserable lives. It is always best to move on. What was done, was done and can't be changed no matter how much one cries or complains about it.

No much new here in terms of a religious poem. They are hard to write well for so much has been written on the subject that most poems of that nature read like much cliché. This one is one of them though the effort to write it should be appreciated.

it has an interesting title and the rhyme scheme has its good points.. I feel that what it says is worthy of reading and it uses a poetic language to say it. In whole, it is a good poem to read for these reasons and more.

Just two lines, but I like it. Now, the thing that is open here is, what was it that he was that I'd been? One can bring a number of situations to mind. But this is what makes the poem interesting. No all poems have to have a definite answer and this is one of them. Good read!

I am glad that the line of questioning is answered in the end and thus not making the poem a case of ridicule with all those who am I? Like it is so hard or impossible to know.

I was not sure what the poem was all about until I read the note, ad then I had a grasp on it that I did not have before and it made some sense.
Though some lines are poetic, they do not give an easy interpretation. Thus, the note helps.

Yes, this is a love poem, and I hate to point out that as one it is mostly composed of cliché lines. The language is far from fresh or interesting when it comes to reading. I know it is not easy to sound impressive but this is a bit too trite as love poetry.
