| = Gaza children eat grass to survive | Simona Sumanaru [19.Jan.09 17:43] |
| They say there is no cold, but the absence of warmth. There is no darkness, but the absence of light. There is not religion at work there, but the misunderstanding of it. My heart cries for them, Willy. | |
| = This contribution, Simona... | John Willy Kopperud [19.Jan.09 18:21] |
| ...was not particularly about Gaza. Through the times, in many countries and civilizations, religion and God has been exploited by warmongers on either side. The poem is anti-war in general. Nevertheless, my heart also cries for the children of Gaza. Thank you very much for your comment! Cheers from Willy | |
| = Sorry Willy | Simona Sumanaru [19.Jan.09 21:43] |
| I'm so taken by what's going on there that in my head your words couldn't have pertained but to that situation. Anyhow, good anti-war piece. | |
| = Interpretation is so individual, Simona... | John Willy Kopperud [19.Jan.09 21:54] |
| ...and the reader is entitled to her/his reading of a poem apart from the authors intention. Sometimes a reader's interpretation may be quite as interesting as your own. Really, that is partly what makes poetry exciting. So, feel free! There is no need for excuse. Cheers from Willy | |
