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.

On The Other Side Of Something
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Sitting here feeling left in the desert of nothing, I was happy to peer across to a secret door \"on the other side of something\" in this wonderfully descriptive and wonderfully rendered, and strikingly vivid poem, Melvin! 🌹👏

Now Melvin this one pulled me in and as it drifts with glimpses of meaning it falls into obscurity beyond the limits of my mind. Secrets untold or maybe told in metaphor it haunts and leaves the mind asking, Did I see that? Wonderful write

The deliciously elusive seductively undefined \"something\" drizzles down the page with an eye which half leaves more prudent souls feeling guilty. Fascinatingly rendered with excellent imagery and a tantalizing poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

Your secret door is definitely your incredibly wonderful mind, and release into the magic for sure, you took me through so much imagery I seemed to see even Dante on his horse, I saw myself floating up in a dream of happier moments and I saw perhaps even the Mary Rose, your last lines are always without fail the winner because as you guide us through each line if your punchline was then just drizzle the reader would be disappointed, and I\'ve never ever been. We all have this magical wonderland but some just don\'t know it, kudos we all need one that is for sure. 🌹 Bravo Caro Melvin 🌹
On the otherside of something, something very very special 🤗

My Dante Lives
Teddy.15 said:
Oh my, dearest Melvin, a standing ovation from me
my Dante lives
devine as I precarious of comedy and greed.
we must wait our turn
while idols sit and read their modern verse.
I don\'t think unless a poet has actually read Dante, and enjoy his work, could they really appreciate and or understand your lines an absolutely inspiring piece of poetry, I guess we all have a Dante or a beatrice your poem today is truly heartfelt. 🌹 🌹 🌹 I haven\'t read Dante\'s for ages, yet today I\'ve had a belly full. 💐 Thank you

Nicely done. Funny thing is I have been working on my own visitation to Dante’s Inferno. This, therefore, made me smile! Bravo, dear Melvin! 👏🌹

Cassie58 said:
Line after line, a journey through your muse’s mind. So much to take in along the way.
The rabbit hole is yours and yours alone, and it seems you are ok with Alice not living there any more.
An intriguing write Melvin as most of your unique poetry is. Have a happy weekend.

Well Melvin this one did take me down the rabbit hole uninvited and so I soon found that Alice does not live there anymore. Another fun read

The avians have a quite more straightforward empty nest than us humans do… so do most city folk in comparison… it’s the landed that might feel this the most… I feel. But that’s just me, wading in what once was and may be no longer. 🙏🏻🕊

Fascinating and intriguing with such a careful arrangement of metaphors the imagery half seems to lose itself in a dance with allusions which describe what we know too well, yet cannot precisely say. Thank you for sharing.

Not Since Those Dear Departed
Teddy.15 said:
With all the exceptional struggle, dearest Melvin, I can feel this so very much
And the tremble of a spoon.
I have bent too many times but am far too proud to beg.
No demon yet has sacrificed my soul.
My heart-bone breaks
But only when I dance
And I dare you see me smile.
Walk with me just a while
Where once we hung our washing out to dry;
Utter poetry dearest Melvin, and maybe we will still be bending those spoon my friend. 🌹

sorenbarrett said:
Carried by illusions I throw myself into the read. Although distracted by items flying by I wait and wait with smells of memories flashes that quickly pass and before I notice time has past and feel the fool who graciously just sits watching the empty chairs of power. Somehow the trembling of the spoon caught my attention just as a magician catches your attention with the bent spoon trick. Too proud to admit that you don\'t see how it is done. And in simplicity and with defects we accept ourselves. Ok just like a Rorschach card this poem has taken what is me and put it on the page. Very nice Melvin

Your poetry is always brimful of imagery Melvin, with lines rich in language. This whole piece has a darkness to it and also an air of foreboding. A warning from beyond the grave. Loved the read. Have a good evening.

It could be a very bad dream or serious concussion
A magnificence of imagery
Your title made me think apple crumble and then turned to memories inside this piece, then I started thinking of my own mother, a code red situation, perhaps you will be saved? your last lines gave me goosebumps. 🌹
