new bloom
sorenbarrett said:

The swells are but waves that crest and fall. in this world, like a mobius strip, a half twist brings us back to where we began on a one sided journey. Lovely

winter furnace
Bella Shepard said:

A lovely analogy dear friend, to forgive and possibly forget, that wounds may heal, but scars may remain.

weedkillers
L. B. Mek said:

nature recognises no weeds
Gaia loves her children equal
its our toxic environments
that depict life as being deprived
of worth
red sands, stained by the crimson
of tears, from those who survived
rest
are well n truly deep into their
hard earned rest
this be the mercy imbued
in the promise between
death and destiny...
(love reading and engaging
with your poems, dear Poet
they never fail to push my limits
thank you!)

minutiae
L. B. Mek said:

windswept, from but a blink
squinting through life, hoping
choices come with marks
for intent..
and we roll our dice, to find
our place upon nature\'s sands..
(I so relate, dear Poet
loving the complexity
in your wordplay layers)

Faraday\'s lack
Bella Shepard said:

I love reading about science, so this poem really intrigued me. I Wikipedia-ed Faraday and learned about Faraday efficiency and Faradaic loss. Very interesting. But for the mind of man, what would we be. Thank you for always stimulating the little gray cells dear poet, well done!

How did you spend that extra second we had one year?
I made the most of it - sailed round the world 3,475 times; ran 8,593 marathons; and sang 6,496 songs - all in that second! lol.
I can\'t calculate if I would be able to do all that at the speed of light.

The title is what KP says to me when I lend (give!) her more money for botox! lol.

made me think on my most recent embu (moving prayer) my friend ..

dancing koto
Bella Shepard said:

The deliberate movement and precision in each step of this dance is a thing of beauty. In a world where we seem to feel the need to move at max speed, this poem and video present an opportunity to pause and breath deep. Thank you dear poet!

dancing koto
orchidee said:

I\'m gonna play me koto/zither thingy. I also played it in person years ago in Old Testament days. I whisked out me zither, lyre, etc. lol.

orchidee said:

Godo write CB.
My rather negative poem, a maxim, not that I ascribe to it, is:
\'Ohhh, when one door closes, cheer up; another one will slam in your face!\' \'heehee.

Neville said:

manicured thoughts
sorenbarrett said:

Oh Cryptic this one has roots that go deep. Sounds do travel through the ground and plants do respond. Sometimes we do not hear the most essential or needful. Such a nice metaphor.

Their predicting a dry year.

Good gardening.

I got excited when thinking if I knew what a fortnight was I could taste some oranges but then I got all scared about the daggers. ???

L. B. Mek said:

inspirational words, dear Poet
I couldn\'t help but try n pen
the feeble poetic reply below
thank you!
(that \'green room\' of perhaps
a pretence of betwixt, coveting
assurances, while yearning
to throw that dice of innate
take a chance on ourselves
if only, our heart\'s and mind\'s
came with fireproof vests
to lessen those scorching
bruises, of life\'s menacing
indiscriminate, ill-Fate...)

splice and sail
sorenbarrett said:

A great metaphor, old as Homer but seaworthy still. I always loved Melville. Indeed words that search thoughts and not only the unseen wind of our words but its effect driving vessels forward. Thank you for the call to join this inky journey.
