David Taylor (3rd January 1956 / LONDON, UK)

wow friend, what an excellent, excellent poem! I can really relate to this (i wrote two poems myself about the same topic) ....The ego, a destructive, and at the same time powerful force....great poem, awesome stuff

love the imagery of the pride burning in the fire, very strong visual message for me when i read it. interesting! jane s

Skilfully mixing unburnt stubbornness
with leafy insubstantial claims.

This image held me for a moment, the truth of it ringing a bell for me quite loudly. Thank you.

I like your style David an introspective write revealing perhaps more of you than you realise. Bu that is something we all do I think I am amazed sometimes by what people read into my words that I had not seen

I think that we learn so much about ourselves on this site, perhaps it's an oppertunity that needed not to be missed

A brilliant piece here again David

Take care

Love duncan X

I liked it David...Pride need be defeated my friend!
