Most Essential.
Life is compared to flowers :
Smiling, gentle, aromatical !
Sometimes, flowers flavor
Given to hummingbirds all !
As so do, the Sunny rays:
Never stop to release
Neither one ray at least
To all of us who do need !
To live is to be present,
That is, to feel and can say :
Thanks, God ! Thanks, Friends
Thanks, sister - by the way!
(Domìcio F. Dias)
[This poem was written by a great friend in Brazil who said he cannot write poems. I hope I am allowed to post this here just to hear some opinion, thank you! Ulla]

Well, tell your friend this is a good start... the more you make it your own, develop your own images and ideas... the more you can call yourself the artist. The nice contrast between nature and human beings is really enchanting.

What I like about this is that I think it says a lot in a few simple words. The last verse sums it up. To live is to see, feel and be thankful for what is given to us. Your friend must be a sweet and caring person. If you write to or speak with him, wish him well from me!
Bless you,
Mike

Hee hee, I agree, it indeed is essential!
It struck me that while walking along the pavement on my way to work this morning, the sky was clear and the breeze was cool. I then asked myself, "Why am I walking away from all this?"
There are some things in the human world our need of which cannot be effaced by mere money or technical efficiency.

Thank you all for your kind and constructive, encouraging comments on behalf of my friend's poem.
I will print them out and send him so he will notice that it is wise to continue writing poetry.
And thanks Lisa, I will tell him that he can register to your fine Site! Ulla xx
