Myopia
in Poems about Life Struggles
I wonder if they have an idea,
When my friends joke with me,
What it's like to have myopia,
Being close, yet too far to see.

I wonder if they have an idea,
When my friends joke with me,
What it's like to have myopia,
Being close, yet too far to see.
in Meaningful Poems
I don't mind accolades
freely passed on my way,
I'll take encouragement
gladly, any given day.
in Change Poems
A sleek and smart device,
Is taking everything out.
Little things and big things,
It's looking more like a rout.
in Prayer Poems
I desire, dear Lord,
To cultivate the habit,
Of keeping in touch with You,
Minute by minute.
Striving daily for progress,
Learning a paradox too --
That it's not always forward movement;
Sometimes, the reverse will do.
This is a wonderful poem. I had to read the other ones you've written, Ms. Sylvia, and they are all beautiful. I, too, enjoy walking in the woods and also really share your concern about the environment, perhaps because of my Urban Planning background. I appreciate how simply you pass such profound messages across in your poems. You're an amazing poet. Thank you for sharing your works.
The poem is really relaxing. I smiled as I read; it's just like riding a swing. Simple things like this make life beautiful. And the garden green, the roof so brown, the air so blue.... it's a cute nature poem as well. A delightful read.
Could the poet have foreseen a future where kids wouldn't even cluster around TVs anymore but appear detached, more alone with their phones? We've come a long way. The poem is funny, but rings with the truth. I grew fond of reading while I was young, thanks to my parents' awesome collections and it has become a part of me. Like a writer once said in a Reader's Digest article back in 2000, "the greatest avenue to learning - to wisdom, adventure, pleasure, insight, to understanding human nature, understanding ourselves and our world and our place in it - is in reading books." The reading culture may no longer be what it once was, but parents can still keep good books at home for their kids like Dahl said. Pleasure reading is fun and really worthwhile. This is a classic, fantastic poem.
I can relate to this, especially that last line. Beautiful poem.
"If You Must Go" is a terrific poem. The author shared a truly inspiring and beautiful message.
