Eden Palace:
Like your poem, excellent rhyming and interesting content. When will we create Eden here on earth? Seems to me the more we try the more damage is done to the earth and then us. This poem makes the reader think, so do you think Adam and Eve were actually today's modern human beings?

My thoughts were
life on earth is damnation..
and we are lost souls bidding for our escape.
poetry is the vessel that reveals that philosophy.
"Poems paint a path through Eden"
Yeah they do! ~Lady A~
For lest we fail to obtain
For lest we fail
to obtain the crown
Only to simply remain

Hey
too long..yeah I’ve been away. im Back now, and It is my chief endeavor to set the world on fire.
glad as always to hear from you
as a whole the poem is well
as a whole the poem is well worded and flows nice but leaves me less than moved emotionally, but the second set of lines is just brilliant!

Thanks for the review
Good feedback is really a difficult thing to find, and yours is appreciated! I hope that this piece has brought you equally as much satisfaction as my writing of it. Your are a well respected poet, and community member and your praise weighs more than you know
:)
Good feedback is hard to find these days, we have such a polite society we fear speaking truth of self :/
I firmly believe that on writes to express self and that anything after that is just a blessing, so I hope that this piece fulfilled you and said what you needed it to say :)
Thank you for your kind words :)
Much Love

life on earth is damnation..

:( I hope that view shifts for you someday...
A TV show I was watching said something profound recently, it was a conversation between a gay preist and a gay lawyer, the lawyer was worried he would go to hell because his mother is fairly avangical... the priest said "what if heaven and hell are nothing more than how we are remembered by those who still live" ... what if all our souls need is to be remembered well, spoken of kindly, and matter to someone once we leave this earth?
Much Love

Yes
its not my creed just a possibility out there ... floating in the breeze.

I know how I will remember you...
