the quill\'s nocturne
Tristan Robert Lange said:
My friend, this is haunting. The orchard of ink, the moth on the margin…alive yet fading. And that moment when the page becomes a window, then a mouth exhaling rain...that breathes atmosphere right off the paper. Beautifully crafted, arqios. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Far too metaphysical (rather than metaphorical) for me, but I like it anyway, Rik...

My friend, this is a marvel. Myth and mechanism breathing in the same glass house…each image tilts the light differently, yet it all holds together. It feels timeless, but alive. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛ I am truly a fan, you know. #JustSaying 🤘😎

I agree with Neville—well-written, arqios. And I want some of what you are smoking.

There is no greater mythology as a whole that that of the Greeks and here used so nicely with volcanic heat, the managers of time, the evening nymphs, the ouroboros itself and its eternal birth, life, death cycle that golden apple that well could be a pomegranate Orpheus himself and his music and failed attempt to resurrect his love. Nicely done Cryptic

So, the boundaries between myth and mechanism blur in a space where time breathes, light tilts, and ancient hands tend to something more than a garden. It’s a vignette of thresholds and turning points; a place where the next epoch waits just beyond the glass and inviting the reader to step inside without yet revealing what grows there.

Rose Cycle: Sounds like a Bond Girl.
Never seen Haiku strung together before.
Enjoyed.

Well written, arqios. Great idea. I have never presented them that way, but have noticed that any group of haiku suggests a story of its own

Tristan Robert Lange said:
This is great, Rik! Roses as survivors, truth-tellers, and quiet vanishing acts. No violins, just concrete and silence. Most excellent, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Bella Shepard said:
A creation of such beauty, we often take for granted, until you stop to marvel at the perfection, and the life of a single rose. Beautifully and cleverly captured in this haiku set.

sorenbarrett said:
A fave for the creativity on this one Cryptic. Using a series of haikus to tell a story I have not seen before. This one seemed quite consistent the live of a rose and its demise. A rose often symbolic of love could mean the same cycle for it as well. The last one speaks to lack of communication as cause. Very nice

Gaslighting seems to be the Buzz word at the Moment on the News Programmes.
Had to look it up as well.
A good Write.

That line — “twisting my words does not make you right”…stopped me cold. A-freaking-men! The clarity and steel in that truth makes the whole piece burn bright. Beautifully cut, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Never understood gaslighting a new word for what I call manipulation and forcing a view of the world that suits the manipulator, someone not interested in the view of the other set upon their own needs in a world of their own. The actions spoken so familiar where two people don\'t listen to the needs of the other and hide their needs behind false walls. Nicely written Cryptic

Such an amazing fantasy, a treat for the senses. I would love to see this in book form, with incredible illustrations of your remarkable imagination. Perfection!

sorenbarrett said:
A poem of childlike gustatory delight in an air fight. Behind the childlike imagery is deeper meaning in metaphor that speaks of the delights of confrontation and even battle while casting it in a relatively harmless ending of live to fight another day. Very nicely done Cryptic

Two quotes :
--\"All I am is literature, and I am not able or willing to be anything else.\" -- Franz Kafka (1883-1924)
--“Literature is the most noble of professions. In fact, it is about the only one fit for a man. For my own part, there is no seducing me from the path.” -- Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849)

a poem is a verb
Soman Ragavan said:
For the poet, poetry is everything. He dedicates his life to poetry. He plods at it till the end. It is the one vocation that consumes up the one who pursues it. However, the poet’s labours are not lost. They will be appreciated more after he is gone.
