Inside The Goblet Comments

A great poem, Valsa. It has me thinking....perhaps that goblet doesn't need to be (or can't be!) filled the same way every day.

Spicy! ! To be quaffed off! Thanks for sharing.

Life indeed is not bad. It is sweet. Happy that is your conclusion too. (10) . A doubt, is that off after quaffed necessary?

Taste of life is beautifully presented in the poem.

yes it is, beautifully expressed.

So true and inspiring about life. Creatively said Valsa. One of your best poems indeed. Kudos. Nice to read from your pen again. A very happy new year.

I agree with your views about life........................................

Yes, life is unpredictable at times, a wonderful poem, simple yet profound.

Life is combination of all with no description. Everyone describe in different ways. Is it really that easy? Nope. Thought provoking write. Loved the question.

What a succinct gem of a piece. A very wise n innovative piece that sums up life in a few words. Life has many flavors, not all to our taste but we have to live it. Yes, neither too sweet, nor too bitter. Rightly said. A super 10. And a very happy new year.

May our goblets be filled with a mixture of spices- to give life its tang. As much as we don't want to taste sorrow, without it how would we know the depths of joy? If we never tasted the bitterness of our love being rejected, how would we savor the special sweetness of love responded? I love the brevity you used in getting across these complex thoughts and the perfect word choice that accompanied this brevity. Another beautiful poem from the soul of Valsa. A mere ten is not enough but it is all I am allowed. 10+++++++++++++++++++++++++++

How does it taste? Thanks for sharing this poem with us.

Life is spicy, tangy, bitter and sweet. If it is too sweet, it will surfeit. If it is too bitter, no one will marry. As brevity is called the soul of wit, the matured poet has become stingy in describing life, the epic in everyone's journey from birth to death.
