Such a Contrast between the \'Fading Summer Light\' and the \'Hound of The Baskervilles\' around the corner.
Short and delightful.

What a lovely little piece, Rik! Reminds me of childhood summers when every corner of the yard held another adventure...though I might reconsider that particular expedition if the dog looks hungry! 😂 Loved it, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Hello, arqios,
A very plesant scene with a somewhat vicious conclusion. Expeditions yet to start when comes the corner dog - careful what you wish for perhaps in this intriguing and succinct gem. Excellent!
Wishing you much happiness,
Tony.

My mind wanders through words of metaphor here. Illusions? As I put them out I may well be judged as insane but already having been deemed so I have little to loose. My summer light has already faded but when in those late summer hours of beginning Fall, those deck boards were my platform, what I had constructed, yet under it all there were still dreams of future expeditions. Around my corner lurked Cerebros the guard of the doors of Hell salivating in wait for me.

You know, my friend, I\'ve often found the most memorable places are the ones nobody thought to put in a guidebook. Give me an old side street and a little curiosity any day! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

This can be the Resulting Feelings or the Awareness you get from Meditation.
To see the World in a New light. To Understand.

Hello, arqios,
The intangible chapters of language where its essence evolves. Remarkable poetry.
Wishing you all the best,
Tony.

A fine write A. Yep, it\'s dense to me too - cryptically dens to my brain box. Fido says to me: \'Give up trying to work it all out; you never do!\' I will ask him what it all means - he knows. lol.

\"Each horrizon. Preparing the next\". Great ending. To me it explains the serenical natural order of things and of course a vacation to remeber.

This poem in my density I had to read several times. Its meaning is dense and deep there is a metaphor within a metaphor and as the poem itself says the meaning came slowly but with force unfolding. Cryptic this poem is not for the casual reader it is for the serious minded the patient, the student of life. Very nicely written it unfolds a map to knowledge not a GPS but an intimate acquaintance with the geography. Lovely and a fave

Rik, I particularly appreciated the distinction between being busy and actually getting somewhere. I\'ve certainly wasted enough energy confusing the two! You\'ve given me something to chew on today. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Aside from their poetic metaphors, lately your poems have become most philosophical. I love this approach where each line a thought followed by another somehow interlinked. A poem becomes an inward journey to those that wish to take it, not a reflection of the day but the mind that perceives it. Loved it my friend especially the line: \"White-maned arguments rear from the dark\" pregnant with meaning it also has opposing terms in White and dark. So many thoughts on this white coming from darkness as light emerging from the emptiness of space, whit skin evolved from dark (so they say) as from Africa we spread north. White truth (as we see it) dark ignorance (so we believe) and on it goes and this is just one line.

That plea feels familiar, my dear friend. I’ve had days when I couldn’t explain what I needed...just knew I couldn’t keep going the same way. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Hello, arqios,
Feigning death the lone survivor from the fallout appears like a cockroach, a cockroach perhaps, who knows the ways of insects.One could construe many meanings from this poem whilst applauding the poem itself. Excellent!
Wishing you much happiness,
Tony.

Hello, arqios,
I know these sounds they can be misleading, sometimes creaking like a bird or some arboreal animal and at night they sound eery and foreboding. An intriguing and well crafted poem. Very well done.
Fond regards,
Tony.

Everything else has given up, the rooms, the paint, but you haven\'t. Lying on the floor and looking up changes everything. That ending is powerful. Nicely written!
