This is in response to the review I received for my poem "The Dream" Poetry The Dream
*Reviews 4/19/2015 Edward Phillips
View Member's Site I have never had that dream, but I've had the feeling that we are losing our country to hopeless causes. The eagle and the smoldering charcoal say it better. Thanks for your thoughtful poem.
Ed has interpreted the symbolism of my poem correct, but the poem also has a message of hope along with the temporary confinement.
America might go thru difficult times, but the symbol of the Eagle represent the most noble characteristics of human race, courage, intelligence, high aspirations; the symbol of the red smoldering charcoal represents vitality and passion.
On a personal note, same symbols might apply to my personal life,
