A Plea To The Mother(Mother Earth) (Free verse) by Rainbow_chaser
Oh mother, please forgive me I have ignored you for so very long, I have blamed, denied and mistrusted you I had forgotten you, for reasons all wrong. I was lost in a deep dark well in the gap, In a fog of loneliness and pain, So easy it was to loss the balance I now fight so hard to regain. I realize by denying you mother i was denying myself as well, When i was lost in the dark, the difference in directions were so difficult to tell. Much healing must take place now For we have alot of work to do, I know now the cause of my loneliness was me trying to live without you. So Mother And Father I ask that you hold me in your loving embrace, Help me find the balance and strength to this work with grace. Written by: Autumn Dawe?? May 22, 2002.

Again, sincere sentiment gets lost in weak writing. This craft is extremely laborious. If you are serious about continuing and truly getting better, it takes loads of practice and insurmountable reading.

yes i am aware my writting comes across weak at times, but i do write to move inner emotional blocks. I dont dream of ever going anywhere with my writtings, as you can obviously see i have little schooling. Writting to me is mearly a movment, a vent, a release of emotion, thought or experiances perhaps to painful to move safely in any other way.... behind our fronts we place as a safe guard........we are all human beings, striving to hide the obvious. Pretending to stride through life unscathed, when the majority bearly hold togeather enough to bringforth and follow through with why it is they are here to begin with.
"Practice"..well they say it makes perfect, at 26 i see myself with the rest of my life to grow learn and evolve towards "Better". Reading well one could never read or learn enough. As for the weak writtings..... i must say this, true strength is found in utter weakness, if one would only look around and grow from each experiance.... well then all could benifit from alittle weakness.
i must also add this, in every writting that comes from the heart or soul of every person. You will find a check point for every step along a path in their lives, and looking back years later over recorded thought, emotion and experiance. It is a very sobering realization of the growth that one can make in a small amount of time. So look at it as a growth chart, a positive force to continue moving forward on your path.
I write not for the praise of another i write and share some of what i feel and endure in hopes of perhaps letting another (who might be at that very same check point on their own path) Know they are not alone, that we all feel.... 90% just try to walk around pretending they are "strong" or never feel alone or unsure of themselves...or perhaps they are just compleatly out of touch with who they really are..........?

You've described a lot of folks here, I think. There's strength in admitting weakness, but slaughter too. Just a warning about the wolves. As for your writing, it has poetntial, I think, but try going over it a few more times, sitting on it a a day or two before posting. There are some obvious errors in this and some repetitions that I could point out, but which you will find if you go over it a few more times. Hang in.

Oh. I guess that explains how, although you've never admitted weakness (or even the slightest ignorance on any topic), you're the most consistently and soundly mocked user on poemranker.

"Hang in"

Now, that is sound advice.

ugh. What could this comment say about your "growth stage"?

True strength is found in weakness?

I suppose true growth is then found in non-growth?

Where did you come up with your 90% figure? I suppose you fancy yourself one of the 10%.

We, as sentient, adult beings, think in words. You think poorly.


"90% just try to walk around pretending they are "strong" or never feel alone or unsure of themselves...or perhaps they are just compleatly out of touch with who they really are"

You could not be more wrong about this.

Did someone say strength is found in non-strength or in weakness? Funny, I didn't notice anyone saying that. And by the way, adult sentient beings think without words.

ummm. REad the comment that I replied to again, if you can muddle through it.

I presume you refer to Rainbow Chaser's "i must say this, true strength is found in utter weakness, if one would only look around and grow from each experiance.... well then all could benifit from alittle weakness." It's another example of pulling certain vulnerable words from the context of what a person is saying. The loose, imprecise nature of her writing in this comment should have shown you that her exact words are not important compared to the whole of what she is saying. She means it's the admission of weakness, not necessarily weakness, that leads to strength. She's also saying that many people are weak because they do not admit weakness. I think she's quite right about this.

LOL. Nice dodge. If I am unable to make sense out of the parts, how can I determine what she is saying on the whole, short of making massive assumptions that may or may not be correct? How the fuck do you know what she means? Did she explain it to you privately? Are you one of those bible interpreters that changed "blessed are the poor" to "blessed are the poor in spirit"?

Hmmmmm.... awfully strange that you think she is right about something that YOU inserted into her comment. What are the chances?

It is funny, though, how you have taken it upon yourself to rewrite her comment so that it might make some sort of dildo sense to an Oprah addict dangling from Dr. Phil's cock.

the loose, imprecise nature of her writing in this comment should have shown me that her exact words are not important...??

Please tell me you were joking when you wrote that.

Then you go on to tell me that she meant something other than what I read in some language approximating plain English, because you are so much better equipped than I am to decode her? Fucking laughable. Absolutely pathetic.

you go girl. talk to the hand. kick em to the curb, and all that...

Yes, I do often think I know what a person means from the context of his or her statement, even when parts of the comment disagree with what I think they are saying. If I'm wrong, at least my reaction can stimulate a more precise wording of what they mean. It avoids being mean - telling them their words are stupid when their message is not.

well let me just say this, Hallelujah. It a relief to see that atleast one other person can pull my meaning out of my poem. Thank you dovina for that. I am sorry if my wording seems to *muddle* the message im bringing across.

If mother is the the Earth - Who is the Father?? Dont tell me they are the same:o)

Well Mother earth being the female polar aspect, that would leave father creator as the male polar aspect..would it not?
hence the phraze "mother earth father sky".
if you really look around you will find a polar balance in everything, it is the key to healing all. hope this helped ;)
