Now there is a meeting I would have loved to have had. This is just a joy, especially the end, when we meet after a long absence we should be drinking champagne š¾ š¾š¾š¾

Friend, this feels like toast at the edge of ruin...the way Madame sips memory like champagne while everything quietly slips out of reach. āHope, a threadbare gownā is a phenomenal line. Line envy exists too, you know? š¤£ This is gorgeous and ghosted. š¹š

Has the hermit come across the fish counter where there are signs on the fish saying what the fish is, the cost of it and the words \"May contain fish\". I have!

La, how you cull to mind what the ladies told me the day I officially signed papers and purchased my two fluff balls; they claimed cats are practically keepers of your soul, as if. I cannot agree, however they are remarkably perceptive and sensitive to our moods, aligning themselves with the same by the second day and onward. These two pieces are so lovely. The first is gorgeous and evocative, rendered with a seductive sense which romances to the finish, the second clarifying. Beautifully rendered with excellent imagery and a haunting, exquisite poignancy. Thank you so very much for sharing.

My Tuesday morning grocery shopping will never be the same. I shall be on engarde for the elves on the shelves, and listening for the subliminal messages coming from the freezer aisle. From now on it shall be an adventure. Witty, and oh so much fun my friend!

I think I will wait this one out, arqios; cockroaches came to mind, I don\'t know why, they have absolutely nothing to do with elves - hahaha!
With bated breath,

Dear poet and friend, this is utterly spell-spun. The secret life of the grocery aisle rendered with reverence and wit...like a lullaby sung by the barcodes themselves. āElvish dustā and lentils with memory? You just baptized the mundane with magic...which is always a wonderful endeavor. A masterpiece, imho. š¹š

...and I was born with elf ears, yea, since the LORD God told man, \"...dust thou art, and unto dust thou shalt return, I am elvish dust indeed, I guess. Fascinating. Deliciously rendered with gorgeous imagery and an intriguing, haunting poignancy, I do so love this pretty number! Thank you for sharing.

Cryptic I know that this poem goes with another but I can\'t help but feel a metaphor in this poem. Aren\'t we all dated and labled? Loved it

an orchardās lament
Tristan Robert Lange said:
This, my friend, is an elegy on the edge of collapse. That opening...\"Morning mist drapes each blossom / like a bride reluctant to wakeā...set the whole tone in motion for me and, then, \"steel will bite bark and bloom\" chilled me. Gentle, weary, full of inevitable parting. You\'ve pulled Chekhovās quiet ache into the natural world, and it lingers with grace and grief. Looking forward to seeing how the suite unfolds. š¹š

Tony Grannell said:
A lament indeed, such a flourishing beauty brutally interrupted by that cold sounding word: steel. Where once an orchard...? A heartfelt verse of loss composed with poetic elegance and a doleful heart. Wholly excellent. Very well done, Arqios.
Wishing you all the very best.
Tony.

Tristan Robert Lange said:
Thereās a sharp honesty in this, the kind I have come to really appreciate in your work, my friend. How easily fear becomes routine, and routine becomes identity. That āneāer tearfulā line landed hardā¦says so much with so little. Youāve captured something most sadly donāt even notice happening. Quiet but cutting. š¹š A fave.
