She sits pensive, this maiden fair
In solitude, she contemplates
Sojourn of capitulation
for nourishment of her soul’s fare
to where her yearning culminates
her odyssey to temptation

You are too kind to me, George. Thank you .
I also hope you noticed that a maiden sally is also a play on words.
Thank you again—Yasmin.

Sorry to take so long in replying, Yasmin. Me being me. I didn’t get the play on words. I think it’s the dyslexic part of me at work again ~ George

No worries, George . Whatever dyslexia is doing to your brain, I know one thing, your poetry is mind blowing. I thing it’s all to do with how deeply you feel about the wrongs that are going on in the world.

Don’t compromise your good values. You’re in the right to want freedom. However, in every movement, there should be a contemplation of whether it is beneficial. I think that’s what the poem is about. Am I right? You’re sojourning in “Capitulation”, and you’re being tempted to compromise some of your core beliefs.
Everyone is like that right now. I think. Good poem. 🙂
LikeLiked by 3 people
Yes, you are right .. spot on.
I would most certainly never compromise on what I hold true in my heart and conscience.
I would definitely do it my way even if it may seem the hard way.
Thank you for the heads up.

I did an analysis of it on my blog. I’m doing a series, which I intend to continue for a long time, of interpreting poetry here on the Website. I figure it’d be good to listen instead of always be writing so much.
Thanks!

Yes, i do like to read too .. sometimes ignites thoughts , inspires ..
I think writin is about letting it all out and it’s art so one need never be self conscious about what is so beautifully aesthetic.
