A New Lament, And New Hope Poem by Will Barber

Dear Will, Who, indeed........we raise our voices in songs of peace and clarity....well-said, my friend..... Love, D.

Plenty of food for reflection here Will. Bittersweet indeed, and flowingly penned. t xx

Time puts things in their right place. A balanced classic style. Art and friendship prevail. Great poem, Will.

Thought provoking. I like these lines in particular: “The evening sky/ Shall take us all home.” and “Fragile words compass/ Time without end.” You use repetition and contrast in an effective way. The Circus metaphor fits the message superbly. I am not familiar with “Choisin’ unless it is French.

The last two stanzas are really exceptional. Beautiful work. I believe that we share some of the same sunset thoughts. Take care. Warm regards, Sandra

the classic Barber style if I must confess...always enjoyable. a sharp wit and tight lines, dancing meter with elevated rhyme. topped off with a proposition...of deep introspection. excellent read, Will. -Tailor

The title speaks to our humble humanity; the final lines to the promise of forever. True friendship transcends every constraint. Thank you, my friend : ]
