    Poem Commentary

    This came as a simple comment ( from a special k friend ) and has been revised a bit due to a poets recognition.

    Stand in Numbers

      


             A tree alone, say are you,
             but trees, by nature, 
             are rarely, just few.

             Though some might be,
             sparse and bare,
             all stand,
             hold tight,
             to the wild winds' scare.
            
            

             Adored.
             Abhorred.
             we harbor
             a gut filled sense,

             Knowing time less
            than a blink,
             Poof!
             No, not one
             would care less.

    A perfect metaphorical write on the never-ending need for a true friend — one true friend is worth more that a dozen o.k. friends. Beautiful write!

    There is definitely safety in numbers but one must be cautious as true friends are as rare as the great redwood on the plains of Kansas.

    The tree is loved by nature and all those that nourish along with it, and they do bend with the wind, and become stronger by it. But "friends" somehow aren't so resolved, nor resilient as to do so. My kind of poem, definitely...

    Friends can definitely be few and far between. One moment close as ever and the next .. cold and distant. Great write.

    Thank you, S.B

    Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
