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)

toward-winter verse
sorenbarrett said:
All things need a time of rest or hibernation, so too with writing. It needs time to gather strength to grow anew.

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.

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!

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!

Good write CB.
You need not feel pressure from me. I did not persevere after day 2, but wheeled out some poems I had prepared earlier, as they say!

orchidee said:
You using your quill pen for this?! Good write CB.
I didn\'t mean a poem for 50 days really, but we can both try that if we wish.
I meant I may write 50 poems (random number) about KP, but they would be terrifying - all about my marriage to her! lol

All kinds are needed, comedy and tragedy, but of Shakespeare\'s works, I thing the tragedies are his greatest. It appeals more to deep emotion.

Sometimes, for some, poetry is the last refuge - and I wouldn\'t knock that, Rik.
Not for me. however my kind of verse allows the expression of fun (not much of that recently) and the occasional idea in accessible form....
Each to their own...
PS: I don\'t even understand \"2/50 orchlenge\"
Sort me out!
