words: as a picturesque
postcard, snap shot
of autumnal, poignancy..
who needs focal length megapixels or frame rates!
(a brilliant shorty, Dusk
loved the choice wording of \'grumble\'
sandwiched between the purple and amber gold)

Your words after such set-back are such an example - personification of chemo. makes her the only sultry seductress to have first class poetry in her train........... masses of loud applause for this write now you are out again dear D.A,. and hugs of warm wishes that bring you to more summer-time health once more.

A fine write dusk.
A sort of \'making friends with an enemy\', though it\'s not intended as an enemy.
Simply to say, whether with any spiritual/religious/whatever connotations or not, that I hope treatment is successful. I don\'t know what some folk go through sometimes, with courage and hope :)

\'and turning to you, here, now, my chemotherapy
my own sultry, seductress, my deareast \'keemo\'
. ...should i compare thee to a summers day?

neath your wily cloak my shortness of breath draws shorter
through dry cracked lips, over ulcerated gums
rewarding exhaustion upon every exertion
each muscle ache, every aching footstep onwards

you sweet, sour saviour, you lady of deciet\'..
Brilliant!
one of your very best, dear Poet
(I\'m so sorry you were going though such a hard time)
this is why I truly believe,
we must all cherish, our everyday
of blissfully generic uneventfulness,
more, than we lament the absence of our happiness...
thank you! for choosing to share

you been reading Plato\'s \'Phaedo\'?
cos you\'ve got Socrates, unsettled;
his place at the pinnacle of the dialogue king, may
just have a new challenger.. lol
(forgive my overzealous reaction, I laud your choice to showcase
that dialectic writing tradition, in this wonderfully woven classic themed poetry)
A great write Dusk, thank you for sharing!
this made my morning

Dear D.A.,

Such a poignant write…so relatable. You are truly amazing man to be able to pen what you’re experiencing while you’re in such pain. Kudos to you.

I hope you’re feeling better today.

Amen!
as I was once, a bedridden and generally, sickly kid
my very pulse, remembers
the craving conveyed
in your last verse: intimately..
(thanks for sharing, such a poignant read, for me personally..
sorry if you\'ve been unwell lately Dusk
I hope you\'ll be feeling much better soon)

once there was spring
L. B. Mek said:

I know I\'m a little sentimental for your taste, Dusk
but bare with me on this one, lol..
there\'s a scene, in a film
titled the \'The last Samurai\'
in which, the best character states about Spring\'s, perfect blossoms:
\'You could spend your life looking for one, and it would not be a wasted life.\'
then,
in the final scene of that same film
after this character has died, (having witnesses such a perfect blossom)
the films \'Hollywood\' hero
approaches the Emperor, in which this conversation takes place:
Emperor Meiji:
\'Tell me, how he died.\'
Nathan Algren: \'I will tell you,
how he lived.\'
(that\'s the feeling your words brought back to me,
it took Hollywood an hour or so;
it took you, three
ever so poignant, stanzas)
thanks for sharing, dear Poet
