Another Day of Solitude
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Melvin, this is delirious and divine... a fever dream stitched with theology, rot, and cosmic laughter. “The lights of bones ungodly will” could serve as scripture for our age. Brilliant, haunting work. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Wow, and just like that he\'s back, hey my dearest and most fabulous Mentor, how your magnificent poetry has been missed, I\'m in awe as ever, of every line, I am not here very much at the moment, life has taken me away with work but I couldn\'t not come by my dearest Melvin, to leave my excitement of seeing you here. You just get better with age my dear friend, your poetry never fails to shine. 🌹

A veritable disciple of Sylvia Plath, I never realized you were her acolyte until chancing to open one of my anthologies to a bookmark squarely put at one of her pieces. I cannot say I truly appreciate her except, perhaps, in perusing your tributes. This is yet another charming example of her style done up in excellent form with fascinating and intriguing imagery. Thank you very much for sharing.

My friend, I’ve missed seeing your voice here. You write with a weathered soul—the kind that still searches through rust and ash for some sliver of grace. This feels like homecoming and haunting at once. Well done, Melvin! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

A poem of the surreal clothed in words of gold. It seems almost Lewis Carrol like. Nicely done. Melvin.

From Grain To Glass

Weave the woof of this tapestry so as to robe yourself in a shimmering garment whose scintillating eye winks at me unabashedly, and I\'ve both read it fresh, and read it aloud per regulations, and remain sans decent comment. This in lieu of that, how gorgeously rendered with exquisite imagery and a dangling poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

I am most sorry that I missed this one but very glad that I have now found it. This one carries so many different feelings. It is magical and at the same time carries metaphorical meaning after meaning. This one I loved to read over and it is a definite fave

Yay, Melvin! Glad to see you back, my friend! Love this. From grain to glass is, no doubt, something I get. I absolutely love the line, \"to the drunkards high above my chin\". Well done, on this my friend! 🌹👏

Madness is happiness and is outlawed by all federal agencies as well as state and municipal. A poem that left me feeling ambivalent about most things. A fun read Melvin.

My word! What is this gorgeously loaded delicacy? With killer imagery and a poignancy which haunts beyond the edges of this page, how beautifully rendered to perfection. Thank you for sharing.

As usual you bring it with such style and elegance, I really cannot choose a line I love more, going back in time or going forward it\'s all irrelevant because we are in the now, love this thought, in which your poem gave me, we may all get to choose our paths but it doesn\'t mean we don\'t get stuck in the politics of life. 🌹

I really liked the complexion of this poem. The internal rhyme from time to time called out like a hidden harmony. The words call from the past some old songs others from movies. They whispered from the shadows. A most wonderful poem that left me with feelings that have no name. A fave

So Still The World

You surely have an Angel or two my dear Melvin, I can promise you that. Wow, poetry that makes one want to sit all day admiring its beauty, so unique and so very raw. My dear mentor ever inspiring. 🌹 You got me hooked on Plath now.

Tristan Robert Lange said:
Wow! Profound, my friend! I love how it opens and basically closes with \"so still the world\"...as bookends to quite the piece here. The ending, \"what I do not know / will bring mortality\"...I mean 🤯. Well done, Melvin. Not sure if I have said this before, but your descriptions of second to none, my friend! 🙏🌹👏🖤

Each read is like another glance at a Picasso the angles, the colors, the balance where does it begin and where does it end. Each person their own interpretation. Most lovely Melvin

Too Soon To Crawl
Cheeky Missy said:
[So, yeah, I kept extolling this site daily in our phone calls until she, despite having refused my repeated invitations to join, finally once I\'d given up and forgotten, decided to join, and the world has exploded, but of course.] Modern poetry at its finest, how capably rendered with such a wealth of imagery and a twist, oh me! Poignant to a point most hauntingly, ah, thank you so very much for sharing, Sir.

I don\'t pretend to be wise enough to understand all of this but like looking at a modern art masterpiece I get the feel. As I read I feel different waves with each line and my imagination drifts in a word association where I see modern man and fixation on the trivial pollen counting his orthodox views have left a desert of the planet. Our view of superiority ironically have eliminated species and left desolation all upheld by legal authority of the wealthy Yet there will be consequences for this taking control before we are ready to crawl. How\'s that for a cornball interpretation?

Exquisite poetry as ever, there are so many lines,
melancholy rave
at home among the lilacs
the devil\'s shades in summer in a still
Love these lines on particular. 🌹

An Effigy Of Laughter

Brimful of imagery
we are dear but yet departed
we are seagulls grey
but still our mountains move
This poem has its spring moments and is full of metaphor. Such interesting and delightful reading Melvin. I hope your Sunday has been full of spring joy.
