Tender small bamboo tree with superego

Tender small bamboo tree with superego or a shrub with lost or torn leaves in the wild storm

She still lost some leaves, and some leaves torn too

She still stood as if she is the strongest when it comes to emotional maturity

The storm was so heavy, she tried to swing through the storm

She even tried to kiss the ground so that it will pass through

She even scared she will make through the storm

Look at her, her ego worse than oak tree

Look at her, proclaims without her no thunderstorm

I have no comments, I am a just passer by

Let her figure out later, can she live like that  with superego forever

Look at her, her ego worse than oak tree

that made me sit back and think. i'd never compared the two before. very cool.

this is very provoking and i had to re-visit my memories of studying Freud. Id desires instinctive survival means, food, safety, propagation. ego finds a way, by any means necessary, to appease id. superego is the voice of morality... (if i am remembering this correctly).

i'm trying very hard to wrap my mind around this while i write but it's so deep. the allegory is thick and heavy. this is excellent. i'll be pondering on it what it means all day (or the rest of the afternoon at least) :)

It is so simple, as I always liked simplicity, in life some people will survive challenges and attains a state they made their a life a beautiful poem at the expense of themselves with their full permission and knowledge, may be foolish in lay man's view, I confused the reader little intentionally, saying she has super ego, poet wants her to have negative superego temporarily to make the world notice her in the poem, so let the reader evaluate her, fully leaving for the reader, if I am the reader, she does not have superego, if some one can kiss the ground for storm, she will be a fan of storm with no ego at all, your character who shot the bull could have made the bull a thunderstorm, I hope now you got why I projected her reciprocally for the reader to place her back to the position poet wanted in his poetic mind, you are free now in the afternoon

lol. thanks for summing it up and granting me back my afternoon. i guess simplicity is subjective ;)

Thank you for the review, so now I can think my poems provoke thoughts, great, I am content, so this call for poetry may be a real call for me

A superego is never a good thing. I like this poem.

Thank you very much for the review, superego is horrible I totally agree with you, we should accommodate people too, so we can excuse her for now, if more than a season we will intervene

Without ego we'ed be nothing more than rock; without ego we wouldn't be sharing our thoughts in this forum; ego tempered by humility ........

Thank you very much for the review, I am so glad to see different expressions on the basis of poetic freedom, great review, take care

A superego is no Amigo for sure but a hidden enemy. Some ego is ok for affirmation of truth and identity. It is the arrogant ones ( the dictator types)which are the worst.A very good poem...:).........

[Linda alexander]

[Sami Khalil]
