Love Looked at Me and Laughed and other poems - 13. a heart too young to know

The heart cries out in these three beautiful, sad poems. Number 34 speaks of a fierceness to spring in its shock of green. But the speaker cannot revel in it. Number 35 grabbed at my heart for the line as night feeds on what little stock I have stored. How dangerous the night can be to the wounded heart. Ill thoughts and unwelcome memories circle like sharks. But it’s Number 36 which is the crown of this trio. Your semi-refrain makes me want to embrace and comfort you; your conversation with the wise moon is brilliant. This one is an instant classic. 

Those poems speak to my heart - today espcially strong. Muha

Your heartfelt comments touch me, Parker. These Brian poems are coming to a couple of strong, concluding pieces. I can look at them and think, "Okay, this is when I began to earn my poetical keep." The first of these soon-to-come final two pick up and develop the ideas within Nos. 35 and 36.

I'm pleased you found No.36 rewarding to read. As always, thanks for sharing your thoughts, dear friend.

Sometimes (meaning, quite often, lol) the right moment in words will find us expectantly. But always it's wonderful to know someone's emotions in a poem reaches out and connects with someone at the right time. 

Thanks you, as always, dear Lyssa, for reading and sharing your thoughts

there's a universality in these AC
heartbreak, loneliness,  despair we've all felt them, been there
wondering if you'll ever see the fierce greenness of spring, or be able to look at the moon without falling apart
i'm again, so grateful that you've chosen to share these with us

Thank you, Molly. These comments are so touching and heartfelt. A thousand kisses for encouraging me.
