I'm hearing this. And seeing: I'm hearing this. And seeing it, like a visual chime. A homage that journeys far and bursts with splendor, so worthy of this innovative master Poet. An ideal tribute.
I have long enjoyed sunsets,: I have long enjoyed sunsets, but have never seen one in blue. Is your choice of that color supposed to indicate the sky, or was the word chosen for the rhyme scheme? Just curious . . .
Thank you so very much. The: Thank you so very much. The pain has eased off considerably at this late hour (or wee hour in the morning); but I have also learned that my body always has another shoe to drop, so I will not be surprised if another resurgence comes---and therefore I crave your prayers, and the prayers of all who might read this. The urologist is scheduled to see me next Tuesday morning.
Thank you for providing me: Thank you for providing me with some fascinating insight into your process. This skillfully composed example of your talent was a pleasure to read and examine. Keep writing!
I love the pristine: I love the pristine simplicity and the startling contrast between the "ceaseless waves" of suffering and your faith-empowered focus on what is beautiful and spiritually rejuvenating. A profound and life-altering perspective, magnificently penned.
I am deeply troubled to hear about your pain. Sending prayers your way.
Thank you, madam. [NOTE: : Thank you, madam.
[NOTE: Since I am only able to reply to comments whenever I have extra time that can be adequately alloted/devoted to replying succinctly to this section, I wanted to be as forthcoming as possible.. as I only spur to such a highly spontaneous/impulsive action given the gruelling city life. It is the case—which is why I only wanted to be distracted from the grind by resorting to this type of a worthwhile outlet.]
I was particularly jolted one day to create an affected but well-thought of [experimental] poem just to examine the numerous elements in the English language and, apart from its effects, try to compare it with my native language thereby acknowledging the difference. This particularity was also triggered by many instances from my own successive contemplations (and whatnot) while I experienced/observed crosslinguistic phenomena myself (at the workplace, chatlines, and normal communication—either online or in real life) using ordinary language. As a Filipino, whose citizenship is quite vague, I know that we have diglossia (or even polyglossia, perhaps, as revealed in my informal studies) which I think—and studies have suggested [the sociolinguistic aspect] contributes to the whole social problem of process conflicts, adding to its frictions [sucg as in interactional sociolinguistics and interactional linguistics, and any other related sociocultural, socioreligious, etc. aspects that affect disharmony in multicultural societies). I work in a diverse workplace and which is why I often see this come into play (the dimensions involved in our workflow(s), even in our company's decisionmaking which interests me. (At the very least, I realized this in both a subjective & objective way. But not without reading from books written by numerous social scientists coming from the West.) Further, because I am intent at reexamining this feature, I am logging those similar views here (having learned and validated how or why in some countries, governments maintain a monocultural society just to promote more harmonious relationships within their own territories). Consequently, as reiterated above, these types of entries result from those subconscious & nuanced layers of misunderstanding or their symbolisms in those entanglements/trappings. Your comment was unexpected, but you got the finest points of my poem exactly as I wanted it to be interpreted. I hope to delve more deeply into these mysteries/intricacies of human language & I've been gladdened by your mere words especially when you took notice or read me, as well. Have a good one. (Thank you, once again, for you—I appreciate you—gracing my page with your invaluable comment in my informal endeavors. I'm awestruck.)
Your folder "Little Things": Your folder "Little Things" contains so many giant little gems. Like this. And the author's note is as priceless as the poem!
There's an enchanting: There's an enchanting clarity, a purity, about your soft, spare focus on a reed—a small everyday miracle that leads the reader into a contemplative state. And from that state, that metaphorical launch pad, you offer a wake-up call about the pitfalls of conversation and relationships. A delicate powerhouse of understanding. Love this!
I had to choose life, so I'm: I had to choose life, so I'm still sober, but I do enjoy your instinctive ability to craft startling innovations of language. When I see a new post by you, I consider it a must-read. Always a pleasure.
A spot-on demonstration of: A spot-on demonstration of those head games that don't always work as we wish they would. Brilliantly concentrated and subtle with so much beneath the surface. Well done!
