In The Eyes of a Pessimist

I like the way you have sidenotes in the poem. It enhances the imagery greatly!

Thank you so graciously dear redsun!

Such sadness I feel to the core, though it breaks my heart hat you endure it on your own H.
Such lovely imagery of snowflakes and roses until ravaged by the cold, like people who are cold to one another, even in summer... such bittersweet melancholy flowing in your ink. If only I could warm your lovely heart...

Thank you so much kind JJ...
your words melt some of the frost that have frosted my heart...

I am very grateful, and lucky to have your support and kindness....

I doubt even a pessimist would think they were more pessimistic
than you in this! lol...seriously,
you painted a dreary, grey picture, while simultaneously
teasing a smidgen of hope...

Brilliant!

Thank you so much! :)
Yes, I can be the biggest bummer of all... quite negative and sad..
But I shall pick myself back up into the light with positive vibes!

Always appreciate your support..

Through eyes of a pessimist
roses in this weather
only wilt, then die

Never to spring back again...

I sip once more of my soup
take in every bit of its misery


Another year to crucify my being has come

Powerful words, heartfelt imagery, so much pain ...

I wish I could wipe away your tears
~Wicked

You are so kind!
Thank you very much dear wickidness...
your visit lit up bit of grey within..

Such a powerful sadness i felt while reading that masterful piece of art.  May the light of the world shine upon and through you and grant you the happiness which you seek.  You are a beautiful soul and a true artiest with the pictures you paint with your words.

Thank you so much Tyler!
You are so kind...spreading hope and light to my sadness..
You hold a beautiful soul yourself! :)

Cheer up...compelling, if depressing, read...to quote Monty Python "always look on the bright side of life"...

And a wonderful quote that is!
Yes.. we shall hold positivity... but these days I've been particularly negative..
I shall rise up, off of  these pessimistic views soon...

Grateful for your visit

what is in the heart of the pessimist?

Hmmm... that is a good question...
I've been pessimistic many times.. but I go on and off in between positivity
and negativity..

In the heart of a pessimist..
what do you think holds within?

Thank you for your visit.. :)

Quite simply...beautifully haunting. We all have to live in the arse of the world, to truly appreciate the good times which lie, waiting to open, as a love letter pulled from the envelope. Rob.

Very well written 😁 perfect poem for this time of year.

“Snowflakes fall ever so desperately
miserably beautiful in its melancholic ways
falls and falls
remorsefully...dauntingly... “

Really enjoyed those lines.

Thank you very much dear devil! :)
I'm glad you enjoyed, and appreciate your visit!

"All liquidize.. into a soup of self pity"- very  cool line concocted

"insecurities I've forever boiled
inside my pot of long years and years of life
 
I bravely take a sip... "- makes me think of self confidence and makes me think of hansel and gretel  or babayaga for some reason; cool none the less.

"A lonely taste
enhanced by arctic air of January
salted, bitter, yet bland)"- i could devour the description in the air here.makes me think of a cold bird nest perched on a limb, being able to see your breath.


"Snowflakes fall ever so desperately
miserably beautiful in its melancholic ways
falls and falls
remorsefully...dauntingly..."- i honestly don't think you could have picked a better place for the repetition than in this stanza/line.nice.

"Through eyes of a pessimist
roses in this weather
only wilt, then die "- these rose bushes in our backyard,so selfish;yet beautiful in every way from the frost bitten tips to to the pink spatter as blood from gunshots leave.

a wonderful write SourMelon0313

Thank you Samael! so much..

All liquidize.. into a soup of self-pity  
this line caught my eye,  
 
plus I would have said the same as DM  
my mind's eye could see it.  
 

Thank you so much...!

I love how you gave the snowflakes emotions as a reflection of your own feelings. This is sadly beautiful in a way which seduces my soul. You really have a gift with many genres of poetry. There is dark magic in your words my darling.

Snowflakes fall ever so desperately
miserably beautiful in its melancholic ways
falls and falls
remorsefully...dauntingly...

Hugs,
John

Thank you so very much dear John..

I'm glad to've enchanted you with magic
in my darkness..

may you fall ever so deeper
into my witchcraft
