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

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..

Alone with You
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.

utilising purposed imagery and detailed - clarity, to produce poetry
with a capacity to gift your audience
a painstakingly rendered and immersive reading experience,
(through countless subtle revisions, I imagine)..
such a brilliant read!

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 :-)

Not destined to the destiny someone else plans for us..... parent?.... tutor?.... employer? NO! .. strike out and take it as it comes.... that way you\'ll have a life to look back on and be able to song along with Frank \"I did it my way\" lol

ok, so much deeper than those first three stanza\'s lull us readers into pre-emptively judging, insuring that final stanza\'s twist, maximises its impact,
an interesting format, that I\'m sure can be perfected over time into a unique style for poignant write\'s that surprise your readers into alert awareness for the subject matter you want to highlight..
really well thought-out and executed,
thanks for bringing up such an important topic of moral and social ambiguity in our treatment of nature\'s - (fellow), children
