Skeleton
Thomas W Case said:

Raw, cosmic, and unflinching—this one grips the inevitability of death and spins it into stardust.
Your voice is intimate with mortality, gritty yet strangely tender, pulsing between decay and rebirth.

This is one of your best sets of lyrics. Love this! Love the thoughts inside and I too believe the end is not the end. Kudos great beat to this one. 🌹

I don\'t know if I agree that our consciousness is \'reborn\' in the literal sense, but I do adore how this poem reframes death as a universal necessity by exulting it beyond just a personal loss or occurrence to a cosmic event. Great write

I have always seen death as an old friend a reliever of pain and a siren that sings softly. Reincarnation implied as the body decomposes. The soul liberated to be reborn. Nicely done.

An Ode To Earworms
Thomas W Case said:

This is deliriously alive—a carnival inside your skull, where tiny earworm craftsmen hammer out rhythms that won’t quit.
I can practically hear the metronome swing and smell the honeycomb buzzing with manic, beautiful obsession.

Mechanoids In March
Teddy.15 said:

Will it seep into their pupils
And crack them open
Like potholes in the road?

Wow Syd, your mind certainly does wander! Nothing wrong with that, makes you a very talented poet 🌹

Doggerel Dave said:

Let it continue to wander, mate -that\'s where poetry comes from, I\'m told.

Syd, I\'m going to go out on a limb here - AI or even AGI should be the least of anyone\'s worries.......

A most interesting thought yes machines will one day become conscious and the question is will they feel. A good write

An Ode To Earworms
sorenbarrett said:

Unusual in a good way. This poem speaks to an old term and uses it in a new way. Nicely worded

An Ode To Earworms
Doggerel Dave said:

I wish my earworms were as upbeat and melodic as that, Syd. What is your secret, extra sensitive receptors?
Muchly enjoyed.

PS: (preemptive strike) Am well: not quite ready to pop me clogs yet...!

Fingertips

Tess Parks lyrics
Dripping purple lilac
They are the purest
Smoothest
Angels kiss

Viscous velvet vocals
Melding gently
With Anton Newcombe’s
Swirling medley

Fuzzy leather of suede
Coupling silk
and velvet
Harmonic bliss

Softly
Tumbling
Topsy-turviness...
Worries gently eclipsed

Gravelly vocals winding
In an autumn wonderland drive
Asymmetrical symphonies unfold
Imperfect perfection thrives

In winter’s light
The air’s so still
The purest verse
Perched on her lips

The snow’s so white
The flakes so crisp
Falling through
Her fingertips

Imperfection blooms
In swirl and psych
Fractured photons
Caught in sight

A soul folded
Between song
and prayers
Bringing joyous
Tears to eyes

Hi Syd - If that is what you wrote, I\'ll go with it. Comes upon my page in wing bats or something (all incomprehensible symbols). Had trouble with Google translate... Ok - enough of that, I\'m off to find out what this lady is all about... maybe back later...

Beautiful images in this poem of a person who captures the image of modern day beauty. Nicely imaged

Spine (90s Kids)
sorenbarrett said:

It only gets worse my parents children in the 1020\'s said it of my generation children in the 1950\'s that I said of my children when they were small in the 1980\'s and they say of my grandchildren just growing out of childhood now. Each generation has its problems and I hear you I would not want to be a child today.

The Heckler (Explicit)
Doggerel Dave said:

Thanks for that, Syd – seen (from a distance and the further the better) a couple during the course of a long and chequered life.
Great write.
Not a bad ending really – he got chucked out. Unfortunately he has probably joined a fascist boys club by now.
But the ones I fear are the totally silent ones – those you never hear from until it is too late…

The Heckler (Explicit)

Most identifiable unfortunately all too common most being uneducated and of low intellect but some more dangerously being bright and educated as well as (highly religious) Well written

Fabulous dear Syd, ps write for you and don\'t worry what anyone else thinks as long as it comes from your heart, you will find your audience 💜

A rainbow isn’t a rainbow without a grey background.
Your argument re contrast but final entropy does it for me, Syd.

Partner In Crime - Song Version 🎵
Doggerel Dave said:

Great stuff, Syd (join the lucky man club) - despite the slightly incongruous Bonnie and Clyde as a header - appreciate the Title and chorus but even so....😜

PS Fine film.

Stillness Doesn’t Shout
Doggerel Dave said:

Long spaces - they continue to get longer, for which I cannot be more grateful, Syd.
Relief from the cacophony.😌
Good of you to present something I can agree with.

Stillness Doesn’t Shout
Teddy.15 said:

How wonderful, like a prison fighting for light, rainbows appear only when one feels free, how so remarkably true, I came 2 thousand miles from home to feel my peace. Such wonderful imagery. 🌈

Lao Tzu would be proud of this one. The Tao speaks of value being the space in the jar, that between the spokes. A lovely write

They do say silence is more powerful that speaking...I particularly love the stanza \"Great symphonies/are written/by leaving bars empty.\" I couldn\'t agree more!

Great stuff, Syd. Far too much of it still around . Once upon a time all that made me angry, now in my dotage, just tired.

Ah, those were the days, then we got arrested for nostalgic look backs.
Still, the air is still free. Oops, just got a memo.
