Emeralds caught my eye in that it is my birthstone. The idea that it stands for wit, eloquence, and foresight was a nice way to begin this poem. It caught me off guard with September since it is usually May but then I thought wpring to fall there is green. I loved \"mists of myth bloom\" \"a citadel in recluse\" and I thought of Emerald City and the poppyfields bringing on dreams. The last two lines were genious \"wordless tail of heart dried before its start\" So many emotions that pass so quickly they dry before they start. Lovely

Your poem puts me in mind of a spell being cast, so enjoyed it. And the accompanying graphic is great, the music so cat-like, especially at the end.

This is thought provoking and maybe shouldn\'t be. The chesire cat and I think of Lewis Carrol, then the cat reminds me of Hemmingway and his six toed cats, the upside down smile and things are reversed. The lady from down under, Australia? Is it the rhyme? Freshly frayed? Usually frays take a long time. Browned Gown? How do you brown a gown? In the oven of course. See my poor mind has just gone down a rabbit hole.

loved this, dear Poet
took me back to T.S. Eliot
in style
and especially a few lines
from his \'Rhapsody on a Windy Night\':
\'The street lamp said, \'Regard that woman
Who hesitates towards you in the light of the door
Which opens on her like a grin.
You see the border of her dress
Is torn and stained with sand,
And you see the corner of her eye
Twists like a crooked pin.\'
(and you know he liked his cats as well
lol)

Good write CB.
One of our two cats rolls over on the ground! She is playing really, but we are careful not to get scratched.
Our other big Tom cat rolls over a bit too, but can\'t be bothered with our fussing sometimes. lol.

ever closer
Bella Shepard said:

Dear poet this is so incredibly creative. Is it indeed your voice that I hear reading this poem? If so, I love hearing these wonderful words spoken from the mouth of the creator. You have captured so well our subconscious surrender to the rumblings of the world, as they become the background noise of life. This truly is such a fav!

Why do we trust in you?
Bella Shepard said:

So relevant and succinctly versed dear poet. You\'ve hit the proverbial nail on the head. How long ago was it that we buried trust? I don\'t remember being invited to the funeral. A great write!

Bella Shepard said:

You capture the freedom to be in such beautiful metaphor in this poem. How often I have a watched birds flying and wished that I could do the same.

L. B. Mek said:

costless wisdom
with no signup premium, I wonder
how long
before our very own words
come at a price, to formulate
and ponder?
(really related to the tone of your poetic voice
thanks for sharing dear poet)

A fine flowing poem about a feathered friend flying free with no fee.
That\'\'s not easy to say without me teef (remember teef = teeth?! lol).

Bella Shepard said:

What those \"once\" moments lead to is often not within our power to see. But hindsight will bring them into focus and perhaps see clearly why we took that road. Such a great write dear friend, each stanza ,a work of precision and beauty.

Rocky Lagou said:

This poem is powerfully deep. It feels like a journey of a love tale through all the phases. \"Curse or blessing\" truly encapsulates the fearful unpredictability of relationships. Thank you for this poem dear poet.

Once I looked in here - or maybe twice - to read this fine poem!

Mr. Not said:

Your sentences are always so beautifully put together. There is always that \"once\". No matter, there will aways be a \"once\" to tell about, some of them you hold closer than others, but they all make you you.

Oh those once experienced moments we thought would last forever and so clearly spelt out here that it took my mind way back to exchanges bathed with anticipation - -- once - -- great read and very relatable

A good write CB.
CBD - not CBT? Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, whatever that is when it\'s \'at home\'. lol.

Bella Shepard said:

All too familiar these days. I think of survivors, who thought they would never see this again. What heartache that another generation should experience the unthinkable. Very well put my friend.
