The Game The Rules: . Remember the meaning of America -- now that is the world meaning. Pick a reason, any reason. Nations used to help nations. usa was not suppose to help Ukraine - Covid outlays were supposed to stop ultruistic money but it did not. NATO nations rallied must keep made for war manufacturers in billions because after 2 decades they have declare themselves national institutions.  . Remember money is free speech. Congress loved that one coupled with non-disclosure of who contributed free speech - producing a bouncing baby fascist state. Some patriot whi will read the Constitution and don a cape and restore the Republic (we are not a democracy). We embrace democraticesque principles. That may require crashing the dollar. . Fed's Mr. Powell, to raise interest rate .5 in June and again in July. Addendum to action: inflation will be with us for a while (@2 more years). I find all of this very stimulating. :D .  ~A~.

tula commented on: ambiguous summer breeze by tula 2 years 26 weeks ago
Much appreciated..: It is much appreciated, overwhelmingly so.  I understand also what you mean (by making a difference).  It is just something that I try to delve into (informal studies on these tagged/related subjects) while in a global city and observing these subtle nuances..which, if I may be given a sudden chance, I might immediately reflect upon or give insights to it (i.e., such observations and whatnot).   Good night (and I am so overwhelmed by just chancing upon so many of the interwoven words around here (it is also breathtaking, at some point, which sometimes make me just tacitly appreciate them; for truth be told:  I am wordless, at least, and in awe).  (G'night.)

The sound like that of wind: The sound like that of wind or pouring sand in the parting of pins has given more than a decent spritz of poetic regret. What I love is that regret becomes a growing and learning experience rather than a mere negative emotion that has to be rid off or left behind or buried. Thanks for sharing.

I certainly understand being: I certainly understand being busy and preoccupied. I appreciate you taking the time to express such overwhelming appreciation. It's truly a pleasure to read your creations, both in English and your mother tongue. I wish more people would read your poems in your own language, because they have an elegance and charm that is uniquely yours.     I'm very moved and greatly encouraged by your kind words. You make a difference. Keep writing!

Reminds me of Dick Dastardly: Reminds me of Dick Dastardly stroking his mustache whilst maniacally cackling. But inversely, the musing state this poetic image brings is astounding. /Rik.

Yes, perchance.: Thank you, patriciajj, for being graced once again by your honest thoughts (they are well-thought words and phrases to describe your initial responses, in my opinion—at least).  It is significantly making an impact to this endeavor.  —My current sensibilities or attitude towards poetry, in general.—These are heightened by feedbacks comprising of such quality of input. With regard to art (since it was keyed in or alluded to), which is quite difficult to understand on my part (as it still is most probably a subjective experience), it would entail skill/talent/artistry.. which I would not necessarily denote upon my current posts for these were merely outward  or untoward reactions or possible externalizations.. for, I still claim, the majority of these posts were affected or just resulting from a particular mood of the day.  If I may segue, it is just as inspiring to know the intersubjective responses that I elicit that which were never discounted at the outset (please kindly excuse my unavailability due to multiple endeavors/job commitments that made it very difficult to focus on just one specific activity).  So I have just treated my current presence here, however deemed inevitable, to be like an outlet.  Please advise that I have just momentarily logged back in; still swamped with tasks and mostly with work-related activities (& as I reread my own reply to my comments, the time needed to reedit them, especially from the small interface while on my phone, often lacked).  Once again, it was great to have been read and appreciated.. just the same.  Your poems themselves deserve much greater appreciation (& truly deserving of much more acclaim) for the quality of their being "artful".  (Your messages' gravitas make me stop and truly reflect on some of those thoughts.)

"endless" that envelopes our: "endless" that envelopes our experience of life entire; of having gone astray, of beling mislaid, of betrayal and betraying. And most importantly, we live so fast and furiously that it's but a chance glanse.... endlessly sideways glancing. Terrific. Thanks for sharing.

thanks for the honest response: Thank you.. for your appreciation & insightful comment, sir.  Truly, this was heartfelt & whenever I receive something of this quality of post(s) in my comments/critiques section of this particular poem.  Please advise that I only have gotten back only recently to read (or reread) them once I gotten the opportune time (since I was just swamped with the daily grind & mostly just have glanced at my inbox that brings me here, at this platform).  In any case, I equally appreciate both of your honest feedbacks, coming from such respectful bards, in support of the type of literature and of the metaphors that was relating to the paratexts, intertexts, hypertexts, or any of the overall keyed in contexts in this poetic inclinations.  Surely, it also aids in my informal learning of the language use prescribed (& proscribed) by English grammar (and or ordinary language) & what it entails (especially in the philosophies of language or its correlated semantic theories, intentionality and phenomenologies).  It was an honor..  and I am grateful.

As am I! Got used to the: As am I! Got used to the kindergarten tenets of playing nice, sharing, keeping your hands to yourself. But in practice, the world plays by a whole set of different rules.
