If only we heard the strains whileas your lyrics trip down the page, I daresay we\'d waltz gaily. Fascinating and sweetly rendered with excellent imagery and a delicious poignancy. Thank you for sharing. Thank you as well for the note on it!

Full of forgotten images of youth and past days. I was most intrigued with your opening lines
long, top-down drives
even shirtless-tans
sweet strawberry-kisses and
glorious watermelon stains
Here the imagery first line is reinforced in the second, a top down drive (in a convertible) is seen as a top down in shirtless tans. Sweet strawberry kisses is seen in the red watermelon stains of the second line. This is most ingenious and certainly most poetic on another level. My congratulations and a fave

Excellent write that demands multiple reads and is layered in metaphor. I also love how the shape of the poem resembles, at least to me, sheets hung out in the wind. Brilliantly done, my friend! 🌹👏

Time and painful facts illustrate repeatedly the work is forever more highly valued than the authors. Man himself is guilty of this in the highest regard, charged with the fault by none other than his maker. However the same proves that the potter is higher than the clay. Gorgeous and beautifully rendered with nigh exquisite imagery, thank you very much for sharing.

Fascinating and intriguing with delicious imagery and a tantalizing poignancy, how shall I look or answer? You leave me standing like a bird on one foot, uncertain whither the mists lead. Thank you for sharing

Hello,
This poem grasped my attention straight away. For me the language used was so much attuned coming from deep inner sources. It had the ability to become this kind of voyaging energy that you captured so well. Really liked the subtle word phrases. It felt completed. An inspiring read! I will surely be reading more of your work. Greetings and blessings,

With each reading the poem becomes less cryptic. Sheets in the wind billowing under sun images of a wash out to dry and what sheets are these? A wan smile not feeling well. Illness? Thundering pain, storm, metaphor, bring in the wash. A receding stain. And stained from what? Moonlight end of day. Polishes past damage seen as utter defeat. Like bringing in still wet wash due to a storm little gained in the wash. Rambling thoughts. Hope all is well with you. Loved the poem

It\'s amazing how the most unlikely people wrote Poetry: Abe Lincoln, Leonard Nimoy, George S. Patton and Bernard ( Carry On) Bresslaw. Nice one.

Tristan Robert Lange said:
When asked what he would want to be remembered for, Jim Morrison said, \"My words, man. My words.\" That is what every true poet want\'s to be remember. Lives are but the flawed vessels out of which hope, truth, beauty, love, horror, the grotesque, the macabre and raw honesty flow. The artist is important, but the art is the focal point and the art observer is the one who breathes life into it through personal interpretation. Beautifully rendered and a well-articulated viewpoint, one I share. A fave from me. 🌹👏

Loved the write I have always looked at the poem, art, music whatever first, and value it with a clear head, then I might find out more about the creator. Enjoyed the read

Here here a topic I have thought about for some time. Do we not do the same with painters and composers? Why is the life of the artist more important than his work? We live in a world where internet gossip takes us into the bedrooms of celebrities and even neighbors. We live in a socially distanced and compartmentalized sterile world devoid of personal contacts and we reach out for touch. It is not the art we wish to touch but the person. I say touch the person through his art not his art through the person. A great poem and a fave
