PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

How beautifully pondered is: How beautifully pondered is the faith that the wheels will still go round in what ever fashion, beautifully rendered a painting as magnificent as its frame guided and intricately carved catching the eye to signal what glory lies within and you did not disappoint! The stokes perfectly weighted the dark dancing with the light, the colours harmonising and clashing where they should placing drama unfolding into a renewal of at the very least high hopes drawing you into other dimensions of thought, experience and imagination with keys to emotions clicking open the locks at every line's end and yet still more is fathomed from the whole as much as the universe in each part. Beautifully and masterfully done, the fire to my smoke, water to my vapour, rich earth to my dust. Hugss Ss 

I like that third line's: I like that third line's double allusion to T. S. Eliot's poems, The Love Song Of J. Alfred Prufrock and The Hollow Men.

your style is timeless: IS THAT A NEW FOLDER I SEE?! GIGGLY

Each to their own path: That is pretty much all I have left to feel for the world these days, pity and shame.

Thanks patriciajj. Glad there: Thanks patriciajj. Glad there is enjoyment to be had here.

Thank you so very much. : Thank you so very much.  Sometimes I am still haunted by that debacle, even after forty-five years.  It became the line of demarcation that separated time into the past to which I could not return, and the present that did not, back then, seem very conducive to people like me.  It still haunts me once in a while, and from such hauntings poems like this issue forth, so I write them down. I am so very grateful that you commented on this one.  Your validating words make me feel better about the poem.  Thank you for reading and commentong.

I don’t believe I’ve ever: I don’t believe I’ve ever received feedback from you that wasn’t charged with enthusiasm and intricate comprehension of my every intention. Your understanding of my stylistic choices and the reasoning behind them and the way you seamlessly connected the thoughts was particularly gratifying in this case.   Thank you for the reassurance! I’m also grateful that you affirmed my nonnegotiable opinion that clarity and accessibility are, at least for me, the shortest distance between language and a higher concept. What good is an ornate word maze if people are stumbling around in it?   And no extravagant word web could ever express how valuable your vast storehouse of knowledge, poetic acumen, astute evaluations and validation have been to me. There is no greater satisfaction, as a creative writer, to be read and appreciated by someone who seems to have been created for poetry.   There is no end to my gratitude. God bless your own poetic endeavors and every aspect of your life.
