glad you liked it: glad you liked it. it was a challenging write and i like how it turned out. writing poetry is complicated, a progress, and percieved differently from readers.
thanks: thanks. i have an assignment where i have to think of at least 3 things i'm grateful for. i was told to journal it, but journalism is too cut, down, and informal for me. so i comprised and spin them into poems.
Woo !! what a trite summary of what writers could write : Woo !! what a trite summary of what writers could write .Now I can understand how poets reading your work get inspired."Weaving tangy,tantalizing poetry" Wowey !!
Lovely lovely lovely coloured and lively images: Lovely lovely lovely coloured and lively images.What a painting with words !!!!! Superb.No colour yet so lively coloured true picturization.And the touch of fantasy... wonderwrite Respected Peyes.
Hi Catty Eyes : Hi Catty Eyes.More than 2000 posts to your credit.Wow! I thumbed into your post after a good friend of mine (on this site) wrote something referring to you.But Pyes I'm too old & arrogant to heed advice. I sail,crawl,wade,swim,wobble in muck & dirt of a slushy bog till I'm too tired to think of anything. Goals ? The more I move the more I'm drawn into quicksand.When I'm sad or unhappy I...

Stress Decreasing Truth: Sooooooooo, that is where wisdom went when it left town. These are words to live by! Life seen through poetic_eyes indeed - Yours in writing, ~allets~ NOTE: vs. or versus (I think)
This has been very true for: This has been very true for me. Easy to become caught up in self deceit in this world we live in. So many people with varing opinions..and we neglect to clarify that our version of what is "right", is exactly that--- our version!! The children suffer most, methinks.

You are treasure ....: Reader the Judge
Fact and fiction are two different things,
but under the poet's pen...
lies carry no wings.
Interpretations can be many,
And one's soul will take flight,
There is no wrong,
There is no rite.
One's own emotions become putty
In plain sight,
Is it right?
thanks: thanks. i was asked to write about the factors that make me, me. being "unique" i couldn't just write a couple words or thoughts, but spun it into poetry.
nightlight: nightlight...thanks for the feedback. i may not always comment or be able to keep up on reading the comments, but comments/feedback are welcome. keep it real and honest and we'll be golden.
Indeed - I would much rather: Indeed - I would much rather cast a vote, have a voice, even if it means being discriminated against, in order to stand for something. A country that stands for nothing falls for everything.
Indeed you are but all the: Indeed you are but all the world's greatest (and worse) are so maybe that's a good thing. I don't know what to make of this but it is fun trying to understand. Great write.
Maybe i am naive but i feel: Maybe i am naive but i feel we can still have control and power over politics if we educate ourselves on the issues, and vote. Social media can be a great tool to hold those accountable for their actions, and maybe even shed light on issues that people are unaware of. Love this piece..but i still believe one person can change the world...Ghandi, Hitler, Mother Theresa MLK....some for good...
This is so very lovely.........: I read several of your other poems and this one was so utterly love so since reading the others I can't just say this is so very Shakespearianesque but more like with the knowledge I have of the others this would seem a bit twisted (but in a good way of course) so now I'm thinking of you as Twisted Shakespearian winks. anyway, I just couldn't sneak away without commenting on this one. It's just...
because the key is our hands: because the key is our hands and most people don't want to be responsible for unlocking life, what if they don't like what's in the safe? what if the cops come? what if the safe is empty...what if if if if if...you never live?
I think I need sleep judging by that comment ;)
here's lookin' at you kid...: this is beginning to look like the start of a beautiful friendship!
question the question before you answer it ;) I really enjoyed this piece!
Cut into your freedom.:
To live in a bad dream, is survival realy the key? So many of us, live a life of survival; I think poetry can help create a better picture of life so its no longer just survival. Realy liked your poem, thought provoking.
Deep Insight: Everyone goes through the disolution and setting aside of the "filter" - It is a stage step up to belief and faith. The more you read and intuit, the greater the challenge to venture into "worlds" that surround you without fear. Naked is the only way to absorbe truth, to experience "other" to let it seep into your pores. The trip is called living, the outcome is life. Done with doubt hinders,...
Finest of Fine Lines: It is you who must choose to lose what you cling to/send them to love and be still/move in peace, no regreats/it is scary only because it is new - I adore these lines, the glue of the core of the write - Island poems are nice - land as the thing to move toward - enjoyed this one, the 3-4 between lines spaces were annoying, my computer is so slow I forgot what was above and in the...
Politics Unusual: Control as goal, wonderful in digital infomercial. Thought yesterday about how the battle is hard to see for all the messages incoming, and the large gvts know how to manipulate message and then predict behavior. (See Gerard Butler's latest contribution to tought displacement redirected to N. Korea as the enemy.) In any revolution, intellectuals are the first to die for outsidethebox thinking -...
Well, no. You can't change: Well, no. You can't change how they perceive you, but you can change how you perceive them, when then begins a ripple effect.

Screaming Over Here: I combust - when I read lines so fine, woven with a delicate brushstoke, created like god touching adam's dust, like eve accepting a rib - nice intuiting here - so much to ponder and savor - Affirmation - not a title, not an nomenclature, a life's style - Allets
Haha glad you like. I'm much: Haha glad you like. I'm much more proud of this edit. The first copy you read was more stream of consciousness, but I felt it needed fleshing out :)
