Cryptic I imagined the nervous system as the cosmos as I read this, neurons, dendrites, synapses, chemical interactions, receptor sites, neurotransmitters, positive negative charges, sodium potassium pump all firing in synchrony a cosmos a universe within the brain. Nicely done Cryptic

3️⃣ My friend, this speaks directly to something I consider when building collections. A familiar cadence may serve individual poems beautifully, yet a full body of work needs contrast, surprise, and room to move. Loved this, arqios! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Wow, my friend...this is one hell of a metaphor! Poets become a collective of trembling truth-bearers whose words seek to pierce indifference and reach what people keep protected. Beautiful, intelligent, and deeply resonant. Brilliant work, arqios! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Once again my friend you have brought complexity to simplicity and metaphorically set the place at the feast\'s table. Poetry one course and how boring if everyone brings a cake sweet and chocolaty iced with love\'s sweet syrup. How much better a variety of bitter and sweet, sour and salty. Not with artificial sweeteners but the real sugar from the cane. And even then when full a pause to let all digest with pleasant conversation before sitting for another course, a cigar for some a nightcap for others maybe an after dinner mint. Another fav my friend thank you for the meal

A good way of describing the Putting together of words . If only we could hit a Bullseye every time.

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.

But a Stopped Clock is correct Twice in a day.
