I love following the subtle--and sometimes not-so-subtle--evolutions of your approach. You use the same strong skills in different ways over time. This is both a welcome throw-back to those long, dense structures where images just come pouring down in overwhelming, mesmerizing torrents, and your simpler, more literal and direct poems. This piece is full of personal confession and universal, Blake-like symbolism. It is more controlled, almost fragile, compared to those big roaring blocks of text. Delightful.

The Paper Cut Is A Bee Sting
L. B. Mek said:
great imagery, so relatable dear Poet
thank you!
(you capture light within the bleak
that relief of acceptance, realising
all is as nature decreed
petals to broken heart\'s, we\'re all journeying
to our autumn season\'s, reveal)

Love In Our Blood
L. B. Mek said:
just a joy to read, thanks for sharing dear poet
(the drip in our tears
matches the tap, tap
pulsing beat
when we bleed or sing
in the name of love...)

The Nightjar\'s Lament
jarcher54 said:
Here in Texas we call the nightjar the nighthawk. Have you ever witnessed their amazing dives? A pair will be flying along hundreds of feet in the air, then one of them will suddenly dive down at a breakneck speed, only to pull up out of the dive just at the rooftops and treetops, with an incredible and unique whirring sound from the wings and tail against the air.
I think it is maybe a mating thing, or just for fun. But it is as earthy and essential as you and your poignant ditties.

The Moonlight Is Disintegrating Into Ashes
L. B. Mek said:
\'I see the morning and its sharp teeth
The orange glow of the sunrise in the distance
I hear a saxophone
I see a city made out of synthetic organs
Bleeding like a symphony
The sea is jutting back and forth
Voiceless \'
A Brilliant read
thanks for sharing, dear Poet

Very cinematic and quite connected to the senses. Spiderwebs are quite a thing to contend with and so are sticky emotions. TFS

My Tears Die Like Stars
Rocky Lagou said:
This is the most explosive poem I\'ve read in a while. Wow. From the loveless sentiments, to the words that are so impassioned yet to no avail, to the self-destruction, it\'s so relatable. It\'s like you poured your heart onto a paper, and here we are. That finale when you begin to list the things you are, \"butterfly,\" \"wolf,\" \"apathy,\" etc. is so climactic. I hope you had a breather after writing this. Regardless, it\'s beautiful and so emotional, and that\'s why I love it.

Touch and Go Ache
jarcher54 said:
I am enjoying your recent pieces for their apparent simplicity and brooding deep impact. In some of your longer, more \"rambling\" and image-packed poems, all the emotions and ups and downs are literally present as we experience them. This little piece works more indirectly, while ultimately reaching the same honesty and richness.
We all talk to our pain, and comparing that to how one might talk to another person (present?
more likely not present?) or maybe to oneself is a virtuoso line. I don\'t talk to my pleasure, that I know of, but what a bittersweet idea!
