Dear Prosperous Snow celebrating Author Icon,

Thank you for entering your poem in the contest, "Wheelbarrow Poetry Group (Be A Member)" Open in new Window.

You have been so kind and considerate of my poetry over the years. I feel remiss that I have not shown you more appreciation for how you have continue to inspire me as a writer to contribute my words in this community. I hope you know that I really, really appreciate you as a member and I’m thankful all the days I see Prosperous sSow in my inbox — no idea what a thrill and delight to consistently see and lifts my heart. Here is but a humble and simple review that now here near matches the great feedback that has assisted me over our life together here at Writing.Com.

I enjoyed {item:I too was inspired long ago by that image. Thanks for the link. It felt like I could see the earth on television during the moon landing, but that must have been 69. Guessing that photo came from orbiting our planet.

Great takeaways in your poem, {item:2295534} and your nostalgic reverie. It's also introspective and especially calls oneself/humanity into question. Looking upon the Earth from space alone might make someone feel small, disconnected, lonely, but to wonder if your world view was poorly constructed, it's true but not on you.

I talk to people from other countries who have a world view. It feels here in the US we were all about us, national pride, being a leader in the free world. Places in Africa, Asia, Europe and beyond where just points on a map or a globe spun in the classroom, trying to guess places.

Very insightful and worthy read that gives me pause and reminds me that I too need to work on my 'world view'.

It's a pleasure to have your poem in the contest to read and lend feedback.

If you see errors here, you might suspect why. As you probably know, by now, I am legally blind, don’t let it inhibit participation, offering a poem, feedback, newsfeed posts and in other activities, to broaden and enlighten community, if I can. It is in these years of my life that I am seeking fulfillment, hopeful for connections with the outside world, without the fear of rejection and indifference I allow from time to time to shut me down.
