Great use of "O" assonance. I like this because it is simple, but complex - we don't see what others see and vice versa because everyone has their biases they are ( sometimes too ) comfortable with.

Humans never stop learning. . .or, they shouldn't.

Dead on target with this one, Ahvanti. Three cheers for you.

How we view things is based on perception
And very rare to find people seeing eye to eye...

Love that you kept it short and intriguing..
I never thought you write this too, I've always enjoyed some tanka from Ely

Thank you, Poet. I do appreciate it. Eastern forms are some of my favorite. Glad you enjoyed it.

Aha! Bringing the hammer down....g'odd bless us all.

It's a LISTER fo'me.........thankyou

Thank you, Dan'O! Much love! ❤

Dear A,

Lucky is the person who can see many different sides of things.
A myopic view is so limiting. And sometimes fear rules with a heavy hand. Lovely piece. H🌷

Thank you, Honoria! Balance requires a multifaceted view of everything. I appreciate you recognizing that. ❤

So true Ava write on mama !
 Love Jackie 🤗❤️

Are another’s shoes so different?  🤔🌹🌹

I wouldn't know, Anvillan. I haven't worn them.

That’s the answer for everyone!  🌹😀

Perspectives perspectives...a beautiful poem A...a little kick to make one think 😎.

Thank you, my friend. You know how much I appreciate your insights! ❤

Very rightly said!!!
Thanks for sharing 😊🌹

Thank you, InDreamz. ❤

Ahavati, I’m always blown away by the way you are able to cram an eternity’s worth of truth into such a small space.  This one really begged me to sit with it and really contemplate my own complacency.  As always, it’s a profound experience 💜.

Thank you, Luna. I always appreciate how you interpret my poetry, with balance and grace. ❤

Very Zen of you, spreading an enlightening point of view. (No rhyme intended).

Thank you, Wally. You know how much I appreciate you.

Thank you, GP. Eastern forms are actually my favorite, albeit I don't post them much.

Agreed. Not like the eastern forms go by actual syllables anyway.

Thanks again.

Good eye. It originally read * blinded * - but I didn't much care for it so changed it to blind.

Thank you again.
