One of the best poetic descriptions of the poet i have ever read. It filled my mind with historical reference, modern thought and a bleeding quil.

A wonderful write, as someone who is not that in touch with technology willingly, i can see the nostalgia within these words. Reminds of when i first starting writing and the ink pots on my school desk, Pleasure to read.

It is the removal of the raincoat that is the most difficult for me Cryptic. Once it is off the touching of the water is no problem and oh the cleansing of the soul is most delicious. I love my bath and daily shower. Lovely short my friend

A fave to be sure. \'And Margins bloomed with afterthoughts\'. In my Bedroom near my Books I have a framed picture of Dickens: at a desk, Quill in hand.
It\'s like these Books you can get on a Tablet.
But that doesn\'t beat the feel of a Book Physically. Or the smell of the pages.
Your Poem said it all . Old School.

Good write A. On some sites, there\'s an option to choose \'white\' as a colour for the text. Eh? how we gonna read it? Invisible poems, like that one I wrote with about 3,647 verses and no words in it at all. lol.

arqios… this carries a quiet nostalgia…that contrast between weight and weightless holding everything together. It feels grounded, like remembering something you didn’t realize you missed. Beautifully done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Wow!! what a great metaphor Cryptic that puts all my feelings about technology into perspective. The use of smell, touch, the very soaking up of ink into the dry paper. The biting of the press. All so sensual I loved it. A fave my friend

arqios… this has such a quiet warmth…like something lived in. That subtle shift in the room carries so much…those small, almost unnoticed changes that end up meaning everything. I’ve felt mornings like that, and you brought it through beautifully. Well done, my dear friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

What a nice subtle way to tell that slow and gradual are often noticed by slight variations in accompanying things. A gentle and soft poem that speaks of life. Very nice Cryptic a fave

Although not your intent, but thanks a bunch anyway, this did evoke fond memories of swims I had in the Tobruk Memorial Baths, Townsville. Ah - memories of youth.
As for your call, further memories of gasbags past and present, avoided where possible, attention diverted when unable.
A good \'un.

My friend, the image of the gull dragging the chip packet really caught me. It’s small, almost incidental, but it mirrors the whole piece…a subtle resistance that doesn’t need to announce itself. That detail delivers, along with the whole poem! Great job, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
