PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Please . . . please . . .: Please . . . please . . . forgive my discourteous failure to reply and acknowledge this comment.  It was an oversight on my part, horribly embarrassing, but not intended to be disrespectful.  I am so sorry, and I will try to be more careful going forward.    And I certainly like your suggestion about identifying the great Poet's beloved; I will certainly mull that over.

Thank you for the kind: Thank you for the kind comment.  The way the poem came to me was rather unusual---such that I believed the Cosmos was guiding my direction at that point.  I felt a most unusual curiosity to find out if A. E.'s collection of poems, House Of The Titans, contained any more poems in blank verse other than his masterful analysis of a Shakesperian mystery (as yet unsolved) entitled "The Dark Lady."  I found the "Time Spirits" poem and, reading it through, I realized that the final lines---which became my poem's epigraph---were about the kind of poetry at which both you, and A.E., excell.  Because he was the first Poet of whom I had ever read (the summer I turned seven years old), I have always felt a connection to him.  And his connection to you, and yours to him, takes place on that rarefied plane of the most mystic, and most cosmic, Poetry.  This is a constellation of sorts, among poems rather than stars, and although your style and his are very different, your visions and your shared compassion for humanity, are too similar to be a coincidence in the grand, cosmic scheme of existence.  Finding that those lines of A. E.'s were so descriptive of your poems that, for the past two or so years, I have loved and admired, I felt as if I was discovering an entirely new dimension of meaning.  And though I feel iunworthy of the high and lofty compliment that the second paragraph of your comment contains, I am very, very grateful (flat on my face on the floor and in humble silence . . . that kind of grateful) for your kind words.  

Intense: Hats off to you with utmost respects, fellow flame, may we get some faith-healing

You're welcome.: You're welcome.

If you are serious about the: If you are honest about the connection being random, I'll have you know I recently posted a poem "Wrinkly slinky" and though it may not be so appropriate, it seems like your slinky might indeed be the fated redemption.
