a deep contemplative wording
of life\'s inescapable dissonance
a great write, dear Poet
\'so quickly slips\'
(that\'s that tinge of regret, imbued
in our experience of the now
we know, we\'ll be cherishing - long
after these moments, become
an aggregation of a past, we never
can claw back, try as we might
all we have is that snowballing, finality
we welcome, with dreaded anxiety)

(such a lovey poem
thank you! dear Poet)
\'a season\'s capricious ephemerality
only adds
to it\'s nature of precious essentiality\'

my first impression, was that this little peach of a poem is very good .. subsequent impressions reinforce the outlined initial perspective .. a life\'s journey depicted clearly in the blinding light of a new never day ... Neville :)

air quotes
L. B. Mek said:

fumes to ghosts of smoke\'s reprieve
quotation marks, accenting
our memory\'s portrayals..
clouds as our avenues
rainfalls as markings of paths
and that cherished pull
of cancerous death, as our respite
from life\'s, incessant strife
(still, our curtains help
one pull and reality, is delayed
till we can affirm, choice
and wait for that monster, to
move on..)

I love to stand under the roof of my porch in a thunder storm and hear, feel the power of mother nature. The air quotes are definitely there, it is exilerating. Thank you dear poet for this reminder.

Heavenly, those breezes! To feel something you can only see in the rustling of leaves, and yet soothes the soul. Beautifully penned dear poet.

And so is life my dear friend. So poetically said. We like the wind are all part of nature. I loved the calm wistfulness of the poem and the sense of peace that it gives.

How wonderful to see self-worth reflected in the eyes of another, and to embrace that self-worth as part of the whole which makes both stronger. Beautiful three line say it all!

Cryptic, another great Haiku that brought my memories to the song SOS d\'un terrien en detresse where a person that feels detached from this world wonders what it would be to fly that the world might look more beautiful upside down.

another great shorty, dear Poet
(reciprocation
as our access, to soaring
self-worth
a half smile, enough
to empower our dreams
for a week...
how thirsty for all-things
sickly, mirage sweet
we all are my friend, still
....onwards, then
to that next breathless
bite, sip or kiss
in existence\'s, peerless
wondrousness)

so true, dear Poet
(we learn to grasp, for
that we can\'t comprehend
before we\'ve learnt to crawl or fall
then, act all depressed as adults
for a loss, we can\'t quantify
while beside us
our treasures, are ignored
devalued
by their very presence, proximity\'s
accessibility
as a new wording of cheap
in our warped
decrepit notion of true, worth...)

that choice wording of \'sliver\'
anchors it all, I think
a wonderfully technical, triumph
poem, worth meditating
thanks for sharing, dear Poet

They say that walking early is a help to reading and writhing. In this piece I got the message that we sould think about things before we put them to paper. That what we put down between those \"undulating lines\" casts shadows that remain afterward. Such writing should be uplifting to thouse that follow. I truely enjoyed this one.

The risk , the offered kinship w the promise of more must be a goal, setbacks aside, the true measure of true heart is in the vital pursuit of nurtur and attachment. Nice piece

Great title! Lessons learned and hopefully the wiser for? It doesn\'t lessen the pain, and can only hope for better. Wishing you a soothing balm dear friend.

Three lovely lines seem to symbolize the peace and comfort of a simple routine. We have a routine to bring in the bird feeder at 7:00 PM every evening because we have a four legged bandit that likes to strike in the dead of night.
