I like this, Rik. Very easy to evoke parallels with where I am in my jolly old life cycle....

And thanks for silky voiced Nat King Cole (plus a slightly over rich video)

I\'m not keeping to plan - 1, 2, or 3 poems some days, and none on some other days. Doh!

This is what I once believed and still hold some tendency toward. I would still argue that beauty is in the eye of the beholder although not technically poetry emotion is a key element for me.

It all depends on what you want to say and how you want to get your thoughts and feelings onto the paper Rik.

Perhaps a direct link might help, Rik - at amazon I\'m not sure I\'m looking at the same product...

rail branches
L. B. Mek said:

I read your words and contemplated
took me back to when i first came across these memorable lines by that great Poet of untrodden paths:
\'So was I once myself a swinger of birches.
And so I dream of going back to be.
It’s when I’m weary of considerations,
And life is too much like a pathless wood
Where your face burns and tickles with the cobwebs
Broken across it, and one eye is weeping
From a twig’s having lashed across it open.
I\'d like to get away from earth awhile
And then come back to it and begin over.
May no fate willfully misunderstand me
And half grant what I wish and snatch me away
Not to return. Earth’s the right place for love:
I don’t know where it\'s likely to go better.
I\'d like to go by climbing a birch tree,\'
from Robert Frost\'s, \'Birches\'
(thank you! dear Poet
a brilliant read)

I never knew there was so much to rail branches. Well, I know now from this fine write.
This is a standard comment I make when I stand back in amazement at poems! lol.

All things need a time of rest or hibernation, so too with writing. It needs time to gather strength to grow anew.

witless waxing
Rocky Lagou said:

Wow, this came up \"spontaneously\"?!?! I mean the images you convey and your diction is so on point in this poem. I agree with the message, the sort of conformity many of us have a tendency to follow because of society, which is becoming progressively malign. I mean this brought me back to Mark Twain\'s essay \"Corn-Pone Opinions,\" which if you haven\'t already, I totally suggest. Bravo.

Dear friend, there is room for every shared emotion and experience. To express and share is a gift to all. Thank you for this truly heartfelt poem.

Bella Shepard said:

You\'re after my own heart with this one. I sometimes wonder if our brains have completed their evolutionary process, or whether we have a few million years to go yet. Perhaps A.I. will beat us to it. Great write, and a definite fav!

Humanity not brained to do the job as all warnings have fallen on deaf ears.
Got this completely and well said Rik (said? Needs to be shouted).

coaster poetry
Bella Shepard said:

This is most timely for me. While on vacation we met so many people with whom we could strike up a conversation, or simply exchange pleasantries. And the more we talked and became comfortable, the more we shared. It really was a wonderful experience. Thank you dear friend for this insightful write!
