X, Quite a vivid account of your journey that day. From start to finish, so honest, so objective through the subjective worries, fears, unknowns, and invasions. When dealt lemons, make lemonade I guess! From the worst kind of being wide awake--that too-familiar insomnia caused by anticipation and knowing how badly you need sleep--to being awake because its over, because you survived, and because you maybe know a little more about you than you did at the beginning. I know there\'s biography in this art, or maybe it\'s a little art in the biography, but we can sympathize because you made it so compellingly real. I don\'t know exactly what it means, but I am fixated on this line: I am the rear axle of physics. Thanks again...

I\'m not going to pretend i understand this piece other than i can see its a loud distress call.

Quite apart from than, man you sure can write poetry. This is really engaging stuff though i couldn\'t connect with your metaphors here.

What\'s going on in our heads can be more debilitating than our physical state, more painful than a wound, more disheartening than an illness, more difficult to overcome than cold, hunger, or unemployment. You nailed it: it\'s those unwanted guests shouting in there.

Never Been In More Pain
Goddess of the Mist said:

This is really powerful and has quite a flow. Even though the subject seems to be frightening, it keeps the reader wanting more. Nice job!

You have a way with striking phrases.

I\'ve died
It was an artistic experiment

My ice cream dreams are melting

I\'m made of magic

I don\'t always understand it all, but that\'s poetry. Your words are intriguing and witty, inventive and and provocative. Thanks for taking the time to share.

Lucky Wishbone
jarcher54 said:

I know my way around this town
But I don\'t know how to get out

That\'s a sublime union of thought, word, sound, and beauty. It\'s such an elegant expression, it means so much, it needs no explanation, it is universal but personal to you, lovely but dark, painful but liberating, simple yet unfathomable. I will remember those lines...

Where There Is Empty Space
dusk arising said:

Told like it is! This is a man\'s world if he gets up off his ass and makes it his world.
Temptations call beckons.

(Man\'s/Woman\'s either way)

Went Swimming and Died
anonymousblue said:

This poem assaulted me with its cornucopia of references and dazzling images. I can\'t make out its precise meaning but there\'s a strong feeling of despair and anxiety arising from what you\'ve written. Good poem.

Tale of the Time
PotbellyPleb said:

I appreciate this poem on so many levels.
It\'s mysterious and the wording isn\'t predictable, where it goes keeps you surprised. I may still not know the meaning of this poem, but that\'s part of what makes it good--it requires discovery. The imagery is thought-provoking, which is refreshing. We need more poems like this on MPS. Thank you.

Tale of the Time
dusk arising said:

Full of mystery and enchanting, bewildering nuance only to jet off onto another tangent. Exciting reading this though i remain confused but that\'s in me not you.

A unique style i applaud with a hope of seeing more.
