The battle of canvas till tonight

wonderfully intense, in its strategically layered nuance
what a delight to submerge into those blank poetic spaces of meaning
within your letters, dear poet
really well thought-out (in my humble opinion),
thanks for sharing

The twinge of the poet\'s motherhood

Thanks for shouting out silently in such a thoughtful form. Several thoughts are so well expressed here I feel honored to have stumbled on them. I wish more people were ready for poetry... it goes through them as if they were ghosts, they are so busy getting and spending, they make no time. Poetry is the place to shout out silently... yes, shouts of joy, discovery, anguish, and despair. The English World War I poets come to mind, or the misfit thief Francois Villon scandalizing polite, cold society and the relentless police. Homer trying to bring Odysseus home or let Priam bury the disfigured, filthy remains of his son Hector. Very nice!

Haiku- 47

Very thoughtfully crafted message... I like how you abandoned the traditional haiku subjects of nature and how it relates to the individual and apply it to the modest mask and it\'s potential to express love and succor life! I hope Bangladesh figures out how to cope with the current Asian pandemic resurgence. It is a beautiful country with such intelligent, proud people.

Dave is right... the last four lines are fascinating... human mass haunting Mars... will we be ghosts there or will native Martian ghosts be disturbed when we arrive?

indeed, all that hoopla about the oppression of wearing masks, when in reality adorning a simple cloth can protect those most vulnerable in our community (even as a mere gesture, without scientific validity: its really not that much to ask of a civil society, surely?)..
an important and timely write, especially now that generally it seems covid situation is threatening, to improve and so everyone is quickly ripping-up safety guidelines like 2020 was a decade ago?
