Feels like a man learning his words can wound, and choosing where to aim anyway.
There’s grit in that restraint—like holding the bow when the shot would be easy.

This work moves me my friend. So well worded and paced it sends its message well and so clever in its metaphor and even word play with the word quiver as a homophone. The image is retained through the full poem moving from quill to arrow to word on a page. Nicely done and a fave

A brilliant poem reflecting time and and the inevitable. Written as a machine that breaks and crumblrs. Time is the only commodity we don\'t get back. Great read.

I love it when you learn something from a Poem. I don\'t know much about Melville, so Read about his resulting book on his Adventures on the Island. A fave for sure.

What a compelling reimagining of Melville and Toby’s desertion, Rik! The musical language carries them from maritime discipline toward dangerous freedom, while the island becomes both refuge and unknown territory. One heck of a historical piece, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Good write A. Well, I had some invite to and event on the 5th - received about 10 days later. Or do they mean the 5th July next year? Doh! They didn\'t say.

Amazing rhyme line for line in this poem of an event in a great writer\'s life. Poetic in every way this write holds special meaning for me in that Melville is one of my favorite writers and his book Moby Dick is my favorite book. I love your repeated rhymes that like waves beat against the shore of meaning. Lovely my friend and a fave

demise at the well
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Wow, Arqios, this is hauntingly beautiful! The collapse unfolds without violence, leaving everything once held together to drift into darkness. It works powerfully as cosmic death and relational loss. Exceptional write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

sorenbarrett said:
It would be too drole to say this is deep Cryptic. Instead I will say that there is a clever involvement of physics in this poem parsec by parsec or a one second angle in an orbit\'s rotation where centrifugal force is mentioned in this spin as is gravity where mass determines gravity that holds our bones to the floor. As it goes onward it seems to relate to propagation and saying that the well has dried or one might say has gone barren. Interesting that in Portuguese the word gravity is related to the word for pregnancy. This force that holds us together or gravity dies. With such we would just float away. Enough rambling my friend

Well done. I love how you use the imagery of a broken clock to symbolize how time, though it continues to exist, becomes irrelevant as the mechanisms that measure it deteriorate.

We\'ll freeze those in time, that say that annoying phrase 500 times a day: \'At this moment in time\'! lol. When they\'ve said it, it\'s the next moment in time. lol.

I think we all feel like that from time to time🤕
But a Stopped Clock is correct Twice in a day.
A fine discriptive write. Enjoyed.

Arqios, this really hit me hard. The atmosphere is wonderfully oppressive...everything feels suspended between endurance and decay. You painted that world beautifully, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

You are a day ahead of me my friend as I am writing tomorrow\'s poem on time as well. This one my friend is well imaged. Rot and encrustation evidence of time itself. The blind and unblinking face shows time\'s indifference. The second verse a couplet speaks to time itself has no divisions, it is man that divides it into measurable units. The third stanza speaks of the slow accumulation of time in dust and its sagging under its own weight. A fave

My friend, \"like a signal meant only for you\" really stayed with me. It gives the whole poem an intimate feeling, as though the world still has moments of quiet wonder waiting for us. Beautifully done, Rik. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Arqios, this really struck me. We all have those voices competing for space in our heads, and I love the reminder that we still have a say in which ones get to stay. Wonderfully thoughtful, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

As soon as you put the TV on there\'s people trying to influence you. As well as those Signs in Supermarkets telling you how much you are saving Shopping here. And the Prices keep going up. All Phycological Stuff.
Good Write.

Nicely written. Your poem explores the tension between allowing certain influences into our minds while guarding against those that might disrupt our peace or distort our identity.

This is nicely written with internal rhyme that carries a rocking meter giving a feel of surety to this piece. There are some great buildups and lines in this short piece \"For some will tread inside our head with heavy, muddy shoes\" What a great image this is. Loved it my friend
