Array ( [sid] => 37037 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => The Children [time] => 2004-03-02 09:57:31 [hometext] => It is a sad and fearful time when a child must be forced to grow up too quickly in order to raise the child within herself. [bodytext] => Alone
Not good
Need help
Not have
Must do
On my own
In fear
With anxiety
Yet determined
Must pull through
Stronger for it
Still wish for support
Maybe later
But now
Hanging by a thread
This child
Carrying a child
Must save
And support both
The supporting fist
Shaking under the weight
No matter
How unstable
No fall
Of death
Shall come to harm
These children
Something watches over
In slumber
As well as
Wake
Presence felt
By both
Compassion
Not wholly left from them
Just felt as such
In dissappointed
Stares
Holding head high
This child with child
Shall walk
Run
Function
As those
Others
In life
Society
Shall not triumph
So easy
As it may win
Pushing down
Suffocating
Yet triumph
On the end
Is for both children
And greater are they
For it [comments] => 4 [counter] => 154 [topic] => 43 [informant] => desireemiote [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )

This is a pyramid of thought put in both a physical and figurative form. I love the message and love the facade of the poem.
Now, how do I get your recipe for this simple poem with a very complex thought? You are very good at this I guess, then teach me this!

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
