3rd attempt to make a comment ! WFT, this is awsome! I love, I just love this poem, it's so so different.

I love how meaningful it is, and how tender and positive. I love the tone used, really.
Also I just love that I did not know where this was going, until I reached the last part and read it again, till I got the image comeplete, about someone who lost their sight ability.

more points that I like about your poem, is that this could be a meptaphor, not just real sight. you know, when things only get clear when we dont see using our eyes but our senses. It wouldnt not fool us, as much as the eye does.

I love the part, wait Ill copy:

Sometimes people think not being able to see
means I can't find the imperfections in
my life but when times seem dark
I believe we can see things ,a lot more clear
^

it's just, you have no idea how well written, and how heartelt.

Alsoooooooooo
your ending lines! You incredibly penned this.
I added it to my favorites, and although it started wiith a sad tone; losing something that everyone is definitely to have as their right! Then seeing the positive side of it, and being that kind of person.

love love love it

I love your perspective in this piece....the way you express yourself here is inspiring and makes me take a step back and consider.

"I read with my perfectly still fingers
as I emphasise my brain
with knowledge that each word shares,
but will never see the beauty
of that written word."

I really liked how you incorporated the brain here, like trying to strive to keep this word's memory into it, the wisdom of it, the thought. And then you give this beautiful quote on the written words- I love how you make this your own!

A true gem to read, I really enjoyed this Tony! Those last few lines were so thought-provoking. How true- we can't see life always but it's always there and we can always breathe and learn how to be ourselves in it.

Tony, this piece is so inspirational. I'm fond of it a lot! Keep it up.

Oh.. and the final stanza... perfect~

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart.
Helen Keller

I am reminded of this woman and this quote when I read your poem.

Wow Tony...I am totally in love with this piece.

You really captured blindness here...it was crafted and inspiring and I am a little speechless.

I want to comment properly but am on my phone, ai will edit when I can.

But this piece is awesome! :)

I really loved the message and the meaning behind this piece, very heartfelt and touching.. I agree its unique... and very heart gripping... very nice!

This blew me away, seriously dude you can write AMAZINGLY! You got your word choice and flow perfect perfect perfect and to be honest for once.....im at a loss for words...this should be nominated and i agree with everyone above me here.....this is one outstanding write!!!

5/5 all day long!!

I think that the title was so clever after I read the poem and at first I would have probably told you to re-word it or try and find something better, but I actually like it lots now.

emphasise= emphasize

The persona's passion for earth and life is very evident and I love how you managed to transfer that to our hearts because I think it's important to realize that they enjoy their lifes just as much as we love ours.
I loved the conclusion in the fourth stanza and thought it was quite clever though you'll probably have to write "a lot clearer" instead of "a lot more clear".

Well written poem, which needs a bit of editing though.

I was two years old, when fate
put its mighty hand across my tiny
existence and took away something
so precious the whole world takes for granted.

- excellent opening, such a strong impact and the use of the word tiny really emphasises how young you were and innocent to the sadness in the world.

I read with my perfectly still fingers
as I emphasize my brain
with knowledge that each word shares,
but will never see the beauty
of that written word.

- this is interesting, it is a bit of a mystery reading this verse alone and makes you read on to find out what you are meaning, It is very nicely written.

Before rain fall, I smell its natural fragrance
but will never see it caress the earth, I hear
her voice as it surrounds me but will never
see her smile,as I tell her how much,
I love her.

- it becomes more clear in this verse that perhaps you have lost your sight, and this is why you cannot see things, it is a very unique idea to write about and you add in emotion which makes each verse give an impact of power.

Sometimes people think not being able to see
means I can't find the imperfections in
my life but when times seem dark
I believe we can see things ,a lot clearer

- this is very powerful indeed, it holds a clear message and you are so true that we take so much for granteed.

for like the wind, I can't see life but
I feel, breathe and live with it.

- loved this ending and the whole poem, very unique and thought provoking into what my life would be like without my sight and how much I would miss.

Great work, keep it up.

I always love reading your work, always so creative, like no other. My jaw always drops because it's never what I expect. You should be proud of that, uniqueness is hard to come by since everything is usually always been written about once before... this, I haven't read anything like it.

The persona is blind, they see life differently... through the other senses. I've always heard that is true... that the blind has heightened senses like smell and touch. However, they can still 'see' life the same as anyone who can truly see... they see darkness, love, heartache... etc... just because they can't actually see it doesn't mean they don't feel it.

Fate put his mighty hand across my tiny exsistence.

Wow! What an opening stanza, and so heart wrenching, I just felt like life was sucked away from you with that description. Seriously, when you think 2 yrs old you think "perfect, innocent" and to have something drastic happen to that amazing little person is just not right..

I loved this piece so much, I find so much sadness and confusion in your words..

Sometimes people think not being able to see means I can't find the imperfections in my life but when times seem dark I believe we can see things ,a lot clearer

^ this was beautiful...succchh a powerful statement and it makes me agree with you. Love it!!

Wow... this is such a beautiful and inspiring poem... You are absolutely right, we do take our eyes for granted... but generally some of us take seeing, hearing, feeling etc for granted. And I love these kinds of poems that remind us that there is much more to be grateful for.

I love how you wrote this poem from the perspective of someone who's blind. I think that is very clever and hard to do. It was a really lovely written poem. I enjoyed it!

Great job :)

Powerful, stirring write, Tony. Five from me.
