I like the short but intent phrases, \"Staccato sparks ignite\", \"in the hush between heartbeats\", nice.

This is damn electric...sound, sweat, tide, all folding into one motion. “We are the current / We are infinite” is such a mic drop. Beautiful crafting done in this poem, my friend...and that is always the case with you. Love this. 🌹👏

Rik, this holds such delicate strength. “Smiling around broken china”...I get that, deeply. it’s a quiet kind of survival only sisters can share. Each image blooms with restraint. This whole suite has been a gift to witness...I’m here for the home stretch, my friend. Beautifully done. 🌹👏

Lovely write taking me back to the day of out dancing and clubbing, I find music is like a photograph, you remember each song where and when you first heard it, they evoke emotions and so on, the beauty of creative art, enjoyed the read

Friendship said:
Nicely done. The poem serves to celebrate the power of art, music, and human connection, illustrating how these experiences can lift individuals out of their everyday lives and into moments of shared ecstasy. The exploration of rhythm and movement emphasizes the beauty of unity in diversity, suggesting that in these moments, we can feel infinite.

This could have been anything from the 20\'s to the 90\'s with the mirror reference I thought first of disco and the disco ball. Music fills the senses from visual, auditory and tactile. This write encompases them all with briliant images that take me through many songs of the past. Music as sacred as poetry. A fave

How fragile hope. This poem strikes me of the balance between hope and its dying and a need to keep the fire kindled. Tea cups a symbol of seeing the future as hope does. Broken symbolizes lost hope. Sisters indeed the duality of hope and its loss and how closely they are related. A most wonderful write

ode to Goldfinch
Cheeky Missy said:
One of my youngest brothers called the goldfinches \"banana birds,\" and only much later did I begin to learn their calls are like laughter, rendering Andy\'s choice of a moniker the sweeter for all that. What an absolutely gorgeous tribute to the relationship you two have enjoyed, how beautifully rendered with exquisite imagery and a delicious poignancy. Thank you so very much for sharing. I love, love, LOVE it. Here\'s to many more years! P.S. I love the \"red priest\" and his piece to those dear songsters.

Rik, this is as elegant as the music that inspired it. The language sings...light, reverent, and full of affection. “Your words became the wingbeat under mine”…wow.. A worthy ode to Andy and a beautiful work in its own right. Bravo, my friend. 🌹👏

This is so finely written. “Each word a spark against dusk”…is a line that really held me. The poem feels like Trofimov himself… earnest, restless, standing just outside of where he belongs. Quietly raging, but never shouting. Beautifully done, my friend. You are a master poet, imho. 🌹👏
