PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I am grateful for this return: I am grateful for this return visit and kind regard for it, this poem that assumes naught but to be. Herein lay a gladdened heart.

You express it both well and: You express it both well and convincingly.

This poem demonstrates your: This poem demonstrates your usual verbal skill, but that first stanza---especially those words "to get my mind / off my own mind"---deserves to be in the quotation books.

I am glad to hear that you: I am glad to hear that you are recovering, however slowly that may go.  A similar after-illness faigue has taken a swing at me during the last couple of days, and I have slept more this week than is customary for me.  I also have a painful minor procedure schedule---the catheter exchange---for this coming Monday. The second and third paragraphs of your comment contain an understanding of my screen name that few have held, or at least have shared with me.  I am screenshotting your words and downloading them to my personal files about my screen name, and I am so very, very, very grateful to you.

Highly significant visuals,: Highly significant visuals, shrewd yet very casual, organic wordplay and sharp freeze-frames at just the right, highly-charged moment . . . So much to unpack in a tight emotional space!   It all conspires to make this an explosive work of art. Poetry that really, really works! Love your style! 

They only see corruption: They only see corruption because their failed leader, the Innkeeper, has taught them to point out fictive corruption in order to deflect attention for their own political failures.  They have given into yet another "trumptation."  I have to wonder if there is any connection, fanilial or other, between Speaker McCarthy and Senator "Jumpy" Joe McCarthy from decades ago.

As I read through your: As I read through your magnificent poems in this form, I am becoming convinced that the Moon is one of your presiding Muses, and I applaud your accomplishment in this series.
