Pride Poem by Rose Marie Juan-austin

Pride

Rating: ★4.8


Her pride
Made her perch
Among the stars.

Her pride
Made her exile
And live homeless.

Pride is something like a big boulder that seats us in a high pedestal. But Alas! when it falls, it crashes with a thud rendering us totally helpless and homeless. Most profound and intelligent poem that all of us should ponder deeply. Thank you dear Rose.....Many stars!

Pride takes us to lofty locations, pride sequesters us from peers and makes us live lonely. An excellent poem that deserves full marks,5/5 from me. I was impressed by the most economic use of words to portray a complete scenario.

This is the beautiful paradox: pride lifts her up, then casts her away—perched among the stars, only to leave her homeless in exile.

Pride goes before a fall! Even a falling star!

Once one perches with stars, he/she is sure to fall. Nice write.

One who with a self assigned position among the stars will definitely lose her original status and will have to remain homeless
