Patently Trite

Then again, there is \'titre\' (stet) meaning diluted or concentrated, so not that far from \'trite\'.
Dilute that orange/lemon squash, or it bows your head off - bleurgghhh!

Good write Gary - just as I was doing a poem on the theme of \'bread of life\'. I don\'t always post poems in the order I write them.
Is it more than symbolic for you, the bread and the wine?
Of Protestant tradition, I often include the word \'symbol\' in those sort of poems.

“Theopneustos” (God-Breathed)

I suppose I differ - Protestants say \'present by grace\', not \'in person\' under the bread and wine.

The problem with asking questions in a poem is that you will not get any answers

I see the humanity and desperation for hope in these most undesired and troubling circumstances in this world. I’m glad that there is also hope in the spirituality of this poem. An interesting and challenging form to write in, Canzenotta Prime. Thanks for sharing.

Some have near-death experiences when they hear me sing! Or they feel like death warmed up. Me singing gives them that feeling! I must improve. lol.

A difficult one to answer truthfully Gary, as you cope with your loss.
However, the evidence of your poem suggests that you are not so struck down with grief (and I’ve witnessed people in that condition) you are unable to write something poetic and measured. Thanks for that.
For me the whole thing is a matter of garbage disposal only.

I would play if I could. I understand the genre and direction w emphasis toward a certain world but it’s an even better flexible statement of missionand has an appliqué toward any tally that hovers over a place or station we habitate.

Earthly Palaces

Thumbs up for the sonnet, Gary.
Without a religious bone in my body, I really have great regard for, especially, cathedrals. And despite the earthly wealth and power which created them, I can sit inside their vastness (if quiet, not too touristy) and reach a state of quiet contemplation not often achieved elsewhere.
A contradiction? Probably.....
