Common Suffering

 Published Date: August 29, 2019

When the branch
of a tree
breaks
and the leaf falls
from a flower’s stem,
do not both
tree and flower
equally suffer,
regardless of
the size
of what each
has lost?

Hi, my name is Jacob Anton (ANN-tin) Davis. I am a husband, father, attorney, and writer. I have written poetry and fiction as a hobby for the past 20 years, but I launched J. Anton Poetry in 2019 to share my writing publicly. The poems of mine on this site largely describe my thoughts about the deeper connections and meaning in our everyday lives.
