This frankly is intriguing, the seeming acquaintance more of a ghost than tangible, if I comprehend your lines. Curious and haunting, excellently rendered with nigh exquisite imagery and a lingering poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

Set on Brisbane’s river edge, Moreton Mirror drifts from a simple meeting at the ferry pier into something far more uncanny. With imagery steeped in tide, mangrove, and jacaranda, it folds the landscape into a portrait of connection (or reflection ) that hopefully lingers long after the last line.

Don\'t we all have this mirror image the reverse reflection of ourselves that we sometimes recognize in others, some of whom become shadows. A lovely write. Cryptic and deserving of a fave

Arqios, this is stunning...technical language woven into living poetry. The “soft glitch” and “chromatic aberration” become revelations instead of flaws. Masterful work, my friend. A major fave...if such a thing existed! LOL! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🦇🐦⬛

I felt that I entered the Twilight Zone in this poem. A poem that opens old windows and doors that builds new ones that are still familiar somehow. Truths restated in fresh ways. A beautiful melding of psychology, physiology, physics and poetry the four p\'s in alliteration. Loved it cryptic and a fave

Another superbly strong piece, my friend. Sparse, sharp, and human...it carries weight well beyond its brevity. Well crafted, Rik. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🦇🐦⬛

I think sometimes the aspects of beauty do come slowly; the more we see, the more we appreciate, and in the silence of understanding, the more beautiful it becomes. This is what your lovely poem conjures for me, and I love delving into it. Thank you!

Cryptic your poems are growing deeper or maybe my mind is getting older, or possibly I am just noticing things that got past me before. This poem speaks to me of judgements made, of beauty in the eye of the beholder, of our taking human form and biased by that shape we hold. I am rambling on and yet the meanings keep coming. It becomes frightening to swim in waters where you can not see bottom. What lies beneath undetected haunts the mind.

In my Room I have a framed picture of Dickens :
Quill Pen writing at his desk. That for me is \'Composing\'. A bit Romantic. To day Wordsworth would be \'Wandered lonely as a Cloud\' with a Phone in his hand.
A fine write.

Yes - hopefully the day won\'t come when we say \'What is a BOOK?\' - the ones with paper pages, not online, Kindle, whatever!

Dear, arqios,
A most enjoyable and intriguing poem. A life without confusion would be confusing in itself, companionless and of no need for clarity. What is one without the other and yet the twain shall never meet. Excellent, truly.
Fond regards,
Tony.

Love the poem text image my friend! Really fits well. Love the poem too. A total fave. That last turn...“clarity not the absence of confusion, but its quiet companion”...hit me hard. Answers don’t always scream…sometimes they just wait beneath the noise. A beautiful write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

From lamplight scribbles to flickering screens, our relationship with words keeps reinventing itself. This piece looks back at how we once wrote, how we now connect, and how we might someday return to the quiet permanence of the printed page. It’s not a nostalgia trip so much as a reflection on the spaces, both private and public, where creativity has lived, and might live again.
