Took several readings for again my literal mind to to work at this one Rik, but worthwhile. As a paean to poetry with a relationship and memories thrown in - a bonus, I arrived in the end.

The musical accompaniment seems to embody the different moods of poetry so well. Where else can you feel the freedom to express inner most thoughts and be accepted unconditionally. Bravo dear Poet!

Poems evoke so much more than words dear Rik - - memory can be kept alive by lines poets pen - - I really relate to the heart-moving music too

I feel past, present and future converge, to beguile and entreat. So well done!

Phew! This is something like a 9.2.9.2. format. Or if not that, it comes under \'irregular\' format!
I\'ve tackled a 14.14.4.7.8. format before. I split the 14\'s into 8.6\'s. heehee.
Sounds like I\'m playing Bingo here! lol.

A beautiful dream like image of memories and the presence. So well worded that it hypnotizes and bears one on a journey, carried in the arms of Morpheus. The cycle of life is beautiful. I love the line \"revive severed umbilical dreams\"

substacking
Bella Shepard said:

Nice treatment of a sticky subject. I have never heard of Substack. I listened to the video and can truthfully say that I have never really understood all the internet jargon, so I can\'t really comment. However, I commiserate with you because I get other emails that pull the same stuff. Actually, I think that they should get stuffed.

Rik - my procedure is: email? Substack? no request from me... WTF? delete (doesn\'t get past the viewing pane)

Am I missing something again?.

Ah yes, we stumble along the line - payment requested page, or join up now for a fee page.
Also, we may have about 5 million (well seems liek it) e-mails in our Bin/Trash. Never knew it was so many!

irreconcilably different?
sorenbarrett said:

A good question that can be taken more than one way. I suppose that the answer is more than one as well.

Good write CB. Aren\'t we on Day 746 or summat of the challenge now?! lol.

Doggerel Dave said:

Rik, I\'ve never worked out what the orchillenge is all about , but with respect to your present conundrum, I\'d say there\'s much open negotiation required here. (don\'t mind me - the sixties and seventies were my era)......

ode to Phillis Wheatley
Doggerel Dave said:

A tribute to a short but both strange and amazing life about which I had no prior notion. So Thanks, Rik.
I have to spend some more time cogitating upon your poem now.....

Fay Slimm. said:

Your beautiful tribute brought my attention to the video of Phyllis Wheatly\'s words sung so soothingly as the painting took shape - a most interesting and inspiring poetess whose pierceing perception held me spellbound - - thank you for sharing her wonderful talent Rik.

A timely write dear poet. Something we think we can control, but our primitive brains know better. Also love rowlf\'s Liberace-esque performance of Autumn Leaves, candelabra and all.

I particularly liked the last stanza, pregnant with imagery. A timely write in this hemisphere. This brings feelings of passing time and age.

Bella Shepard said:

Such wonderful, descriptive words dear poet. Sitting on my deck this morning I watched as your poem came to life. That last leaf finally succumbing, and joining the autumnal stream. It is no wonder that this season is so inspirational.

Fay Slimm. said:

The feel of autumnal essence oozes from these expressive lines - - I love the metaphor of looking at autumn and wondering how long lovers have left before winter parts and berefts them.

A Boy With Roses said:

\"Sun ripe, weaving one last dream before joining; flowing on burnished autumnal stream.\"

This last stanza feels like a painting. A good painting.
