PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

These really are becoming: These really are becoming addictive to me, and I love it.  

And there is this hope that: And there is this hope that in having so accomplished not to seek that as primary goal but remembering that 'to seek beauty is to find oneself.' Thanks ever so kindly.

I am a little overly: I am a little overly emotional today, but this poem cut through all that and presented itself like a brief, but very authentic sounding voice in conversation about what seems to be a universal experience---at least among Poets, and other people well in touch with their souls.  But what I liked the most about it, and an aspect that distinguishes your work, is that authenticity in the sound of the speaker's voice---a realistic conversation presented, but not stifled in some smarmy sound that replicates greeting card verses.  Mallarme said that the Poet's function was to purify the language---to remove its accumulated dross or barnacles, and to raise it to its highest power, not to reconstruct it.  And you have done so, in this and your other Poems.  And I applaud your accomplishment.

thanks, just trying to: thanks, just trying to capture the moment as it unfolds.  Even when I get down, I still seek a silver lining somewhere.  Humor often is the best medicine.

We do waste a lot of time and: We do waste a lot of time and emotion on holding grudges.  Often time we miss the person and miss the friendship but our pride won't let us move on.

Completely mesmerized.   I: Completely mesmerized.   I love poems that deliver entertainment and also make me dig deep with sensational imagery. This fantastical, witty and alluring voyage served it up beautifully as it transplanted me to a whimsical dystopia. What is better than that when you need a smile and a recharge?    There's so much to love here! Thanks for the much-needed amazement. 

A splendidly worded and: A splendidly worded and extremely comforting reminder of the transient nature of everything physical. Sometimes this ageless truth is too easily forgotten while we're in the trenches, as Vergil knew in times past when he wrote his immortal guidance. In your meditative and sobering (or jubilant, depending on one's perspective) message, your insights and eloquence rival his. Wonderful.
