My father was a veteran of WWII, and both he and my mother are buried in our National Cemetery. Your words so aptly describe the feeling I get when I visit. Standing by their gravesite, looking out over thousands of gravestones, all identical, there is a peace and symmetry like no where else, your \"white noise\" where memories flutter about like moths. Beautiful dear poet!

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)

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.

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!

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!
