Broken souls need time and find their own readyness. Perseverence often pays off.

Boxing Day
L. B. Mek said:
jarring to read this in the crippling heat of June
but also, somehow adds more weight to your
nostalgic words,
why do we assume, there will always be a better boxing day
in our future? what about, this chaotic existence we call life
means we\'re even guaranteed another one?
and that, dear poet is why write\'s like yours
are always timeless and necessary!
we must, celebrate our wonderful memories
so that those who read: can be reminded
its not all doom and gloom;
however sweltering the heat
or dreary grey, those gathering clouds,
good days: exist
just a few puffs of a wind, away...
thanks for sharing dear poet

The Power
L. B. Mek said:
fences serve a purpose, see
without middle grounds
it would all be that eye for an eye
of all-consuming, futile hate
that\'s why middle grounds, exist
to balance out
the zealotry in humanity\'s
fallible extremes..

Great write about the confusion of who you are. Well right now you is, what you is. And what you is, is learning to be what you\'re going to be which normally is a more \'together\' version of you than today. phew!.... Well that\'s gotta be worth looking forward to for all the potential lovers around you!

Those pens can be so powerful in our hands as the words from our hearts flow though them onto the paper.

I always found the \'Glass Castle\' a microcosm foreshadowing: glimpse
of what our civilised society would degrade, towards
if everyone just chose to prioritise themselves, above all else
and shirk any responsibility by disregarding accountability...
its ok to write endless words
where we are the sole victims in the universe
and nobody cares about us and blah blah blah
so long as we go and grab a bite: of our favourite treat, after...
yeah, its all ok
nihilism will take care of it all, anyway...

Take Pride in Liking
jarcher54 said:
Humorous subject, and I appreciate your candor! It\'s also very erotic in a very subtle way. The pantoum is successful in an interesting way... the current feelings and memory of that event interplay with one another in a dreamy, stream of consciousness way that is very fitting. Repeating the longings and experiences like not being able to sleep is like being reminded what it\'s like to toss and turn night after night!

the message alone is powerful!
maybe worth reposting next month (would be a timely read, I think?)
a write with a lot of potential, but even as it is, a wonderfully emotive read
happy for you! dear poet
utilise that same wall-obliterating awesomeness, in your future poetry
and watch it transcend into realms of powerfully voiced: artistry,
thanks for sharing

Alone in the Woods

I would classify this as an impassioned poet\'s latest step
towards actualising their dream of crafting that elusive: perfect text,
liked the editorial diary dates, it takes experience
to acknowledge the toils of craft, within artistry..

L. B. Mek said:
wonderful words, conveying an important message
thanks for choosing to share!
(utilise MPS as you wish to, dear poet
what\'s optimal for other\'s
doesn\'t necessarily have to be optimal for you,
I find those who have been here for years
have helped nurture an inclusive community
for the appreciation of poetry on this site, a rarity;
we should appreciate: while it lasts...
participation in comments and everything else
has never been a mandatory requirement
at least for me, just simply adds to the experience
should you choose to participate: willingly - eventually)

Your usual \'comments welcome\' missing here - why? Are comments drying up? If so this may be because you don\'t respond to these comments and so there\'s no dialogue, something MPS works better with. (I could possibly put this more tactfully, but I do mean well!)
Smooth piece of work with a close relationship clearly elaborated; you have, as you record, taken your time over this. That kind of effort should have just recognition.

Doggerel Dave said:
This work really drew me into your place in an environment full of texture and detail. A three dimensional picture. The feel of time passing and thus change also in the mix.
Really engaging read which put together elements of your life and transformed it into so much more.
Many thanks for that, M.

I live in Scotland, and for as long as I can remember I\'ve always been weirdly fascinated with the Americana beauty. This poem is a deep ocean of life you\'ve facsimiled and turned into words. I could live in the bittersweet happiness of it.

Is there something about Florida you are a teensy bit unsure about?
After your sestina I am going for a siesta.
BTW pickles in any form give me indigestion :-)
