btw this haiku is amazing, i think your best ever...can one extrapolate from this that you are making aliyah? tzom kal and may all of your t'fillot and those of am yisrael be answered!!!!!!!!!!!
Authors don't like to explain their work - to knock it down to one thing, because writing is meant to be expansive in nature - open to many meanings. People can extrapolate as they wish. I regret a bit that I listed below so many at once, I think some good ones thus went un-noticed. There was one that's, on some level, a companion to this one:
No this is the dream real life said on my return: live the fantasy
You’re right, sorry. Anyhow i had many other extrapolation ideas for your poem, so i'll keep them to myself (as per your wish) and hope that i am right in at least some of them. Yes, that one is amazing too, and it is a good shidduch to the first. I think that i like the other one a tad better because the dream BECOMES the new reality. In this one i feel like the good reality is fantasy. Anyhow, just put it up BIG AND BOLD like the other and it too will get high ratings (at least from this amateur). I agree that this Tisha B'Av is much deeper. OY...SIGH...Eichah was so hard...i couldn't stop thinking about our kidnapped soldiers...may HKBH find it in his enormous heart to return them safely to their heartsick families. I can't even imagine their grief!!!!!!!!!!!! Hope that the rest of your fast goes easily for you. You'll be finished seven hours before us chu"l Jews. Daven hard so that mashiach will come and we can all end it and celebrate together!!! MSB
I agree that this poem is a strong one. I put it in big letters and called it big with a double meaning in mind - because is felt big, whatever it means for me or others. And I agree with your critique of the other - related, but weaker. Glad my poems, including the kinah, are meaninful to you.
