Used to decrease aspects of dimentia seems a clue to the title\'s tie to the poem. The poem itself is masterful in its wording feeling wistful and the last line is genius in its tying of hope, regret and forgetfulness into their relationship. Lovelu

a rude remorse
sorenbarrett said:

Now Cryptic this one requires thought. I like to think of my ink well as a wishing well but sometimes it goes dry. Now people have said that what I write is sometimes rude but putting down the pen being rude that I\'ve never been accused. I guess you are right it would be the most rude to myself.

The Burden of Upgrades
sorenbarrett said:

Cryptic each stanza has its own depth and deep it goes. I initially was taken by the first stanza in its tightness of thought and expression so nicely worded. Upon second reading it was the second stanza that stood out and upon the third reading it was the third. Then the last two lines. Masterfully worded this sonnet might we say is a work of art.

A Familiar Stranger
Doggerel Dave said:

Works for me as son - father relationship over time, and as such has a tone of veracity about it.

Criptic this is a metaphor so applicable to many things from romance to work not done, ideas never implimented, intentions left undone, words not spoken and life not lived. A masterpiece lit

no longer spectral, Brontës shall remain

Etched in stone can still be altered by someone else and memories can be changed with which history past and the present becomes something else. Reunification becomes possible

Wow. Couldna profit Robbie Burns frae bonny Sco\'land...nay, the profit\'s all the sellers and marketers. Readers may find their ain way in\'t and leave the enjoyment at that, wherever they find it. But la, in lieu of the luxury of a copy, how exquisitely you\'ve capably rendered this, complete with a display to evocatively convey the delicious indulgence of an authentic copy. I wore me ain original 1881 printing of David M. Main\'s Treasury of English Sonnets to bits, having gratefully collected it from an old \"hole in the wall\" bookshop in MI 30 years ago March. Can\'t say I was a collector, but I certainly was thankful for obtaining it in mint condition, despite reading and rereading it to literal bits. Lovely and very beautifully rendered with excellent imagery and subtly haunting poignancy. Thank you very much for sharing.

I feel the history or virtually anything - how was it designed, how manufactured or made who (if not new) owned it previously… these feelings are intensified when dealing with antiques and old books -You have defined those feelings well here.

A fun read and a great tribute to a great poet. Funny how as time passes some things are valued more while others are thrown out as valueless. If lucky enough to be petrified or fossilized then more value still what was once trash. Nicely written my friend

Now here my friend you have tapped into multiple meanings from not standing up for values and liberties threatened to AI and many more in between. In your cryptic style you have left the door open for interpretation and so nicely in style and form. Definately a favorite

Beautifully done Cryptic. Line after line building toward a meaningful end. The use of cliches to make something original. Brilliant

What the [*@#$%] is this?! Cryptic signifies nonsensical???? Nothing like interesting details in every little line where neither rhyme nor reason can see eye to eye. Lovely...
