While looking to the rising sun See clearly the haze of darkness, But pay no mind. The shallow pockets of your mind Always stretch and become deeper. Feel the winds - harsh though smooth And know they carry sorrows, But fear not. The eye of the storm is forthcoming To calm and extinguish them. But when those rays or gust filter through They'll not show tolerance for tears So withstand it. Theres always the light in tunnels And the ever-happy afters. |

So am I to assume you liked it? Do you have any thoughts or critisms? I love harsh critiques! |

Yes, i liked it. I shall say like this Dark can go darker at down. but we'll know more. Scary can go scarier, storm-calm(eye)-stronger storm. and the strong one has no tolerance of the weak one but no fear there is hope. tell me your thought if you want. |

I don't understand the comments you had at the end. Was it a correction to my poem? |

Welcome to PIPS! "Pay No Mind" is a nice reminder of the duality we face ... never losing the awareness of the LIGHT, but brightening its vision thanks to the shadows. Good job! Love, Margherita |

PT~ Welcome to PiP~ In reading the replies to this I note that you seem to be requesting critiques, yet in your profile you have - Encourage Critiques: No Perhaps you should go back into your profile and place a 'yes' to encouraging critiques ? Some of our members would be hesitant to 'critique' it without that being done~ Some of us don't do 'critique' ... but just read for the enjoyment of reading~ ![]() Anyhow ... enjoy your stay~ *Huglets* ![]() ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

Welcome to pip! Enjoyed your post and this - "The shallow pockets of your mind Always stretch and become deeper." One would hope so but shallow seems to be the norm these days. |

Paperthin, what I wrote was how I understood your poem. It could be different. I liked it because of my own understanding of it touched my heart. A very good one. |
