Bella Shepard said:

Need to set this one to music, would make a great song. Stuck at home, maybe an old flick? A little \"Jane Eyre\"? Love your choice of movie clip and music. Surely hope you get that new car! Stay dry my friend.

Crypticbard this one hit home. I have had several poems like that. A couple of times they have even been blocked from the cite and once I had an irate reader hound me for days with remarks that are unrepeatable.

A plea from the heart and wet feet.
Can be a bit of a lottery when it comes to where you live and public transport...
Got home in the end, Rik?

Good write CB. You home now after this poem?!
I can\'t write too cryptically, though we each have our own style.

I get fussy - oohh, it must rhyme, I say sometimes. It does not have to rhyme though.
And lest an extra syllable creep in, Fido reads all me poems before I post them. lol.

The chosen music leads into the lament so well Rik - the superb imagery underscores how weary a battered heart can feel. Love that final line and having this penning of tearful endings in my list of favourites

A great pick for music to accompany this image crammed piece. This speaks to me of deception and falseness in the words \"get off your knee\" and the reference to continued \"lucid hate\". Also the reference to rainbow tears. That false promise that there would be no further floods. Tired of continued pleas not even the mirror can give a true reflection of this person and you are forced to face a new birth or start. But maybe this is just my take. Wonderful imagery regardless..

Ohh, don\'t bother about daft ole Orchi, they say! He dunno what year it is, let alone what day of the orchilenge it is! lol.
If you don\'t complete the orchilenge he will set his imaginary dog on you. He is a sandwich short of a picnic, and his dog\'s short of a bone!

Such use of verbiage. Who has been slandering you? I loved the feel of the poem as it rolled off the tongue. I did get the feel that laundry day was yesterday but maybe that is just because mine was. But then disparagement and vilification does leave a stench in the air. Nicely written.

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

As far as I am concerned, poetry is the glue that holds so much more than it is often given credit for ..

Nicely penned sir .. Neville :)

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

orchidee said:

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\"

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.
