(first)
so many lessons,
so little learned,
like moths to flames
we return
and return;
how many times must we watch ourselves burn?
(on Sept 30th 2006)
(and last)
our live's are single blades of grass
upon life's eternal landscape

You really write some powerful pieces in so few words.
That is a very special talent. Your first was very well done and your last is even better.

Oh both poems show how well you turn a few words into an essay on life.... I see the movement to sharpening your ability to write more with less in these poems. The second shows great maturity in refining those few words into a pwoerful Everyman thought.
