first snow blues
Bella Shepard said:

This stunning metaphor for love captured in water, its properties, its incredible power and moods, fit so aptly bodies that are in and of themselves 97% water, for without love and water we simply would not exist. Beautiful write!

Rocky Lagou said:

I love how you intertwined the passage of love with the water cycle. Such an apt metaphor. Precipitation. Evaporation. Splendid.

prehensile pledge
sorenbarrett said:

I have always been entranced by the Arthurian legends. Lady Modaunt threw a bit of British political mix into it. Since I\'m not up on politics I lost some of the meaning. But it seems clear at the end that like Mordred (Medraut) or Charles? should never be king. I loved the bringing in of English lore and the lady of the lak and sword that signifies kingship.

cannery row
L. B. Mek said:

(soaked in brine
soar tinged flavours of sunshine
seeking respite,
timid flavour
teeming with juicy vivaciousness
trimmed of skin and pride,)
displayed side by side, they await
that lid opening of demise
where their worth, will be realised
at their food chain, fated
tepid ending

No point looking at me .. I\'m pickled .. a circumstance preserved for the overprivileged but internally grateful

cannery row
Bella Shepard said:

I\'m old enough to remember real food; grown in the yard, washed, cooked and happily eaten. somewhere in that future of synthisized food no one will ever know the delight of tasting a lucious, ripe tomato or plucking an apple right from the tree and eating it in the orchard. Much food for thought here dear poet, no pun intended.

cannery row
sorenbarrett said:

The falseness of convienience. Addatives, canned, bottled, bagged, frozen plasticised. Fake nutrition not only in food but relationships and anything that was real. I\'m not even sure what is real anymore. Ah but for a ripe peach from the tree. Heaven forbid, it might not be clean or have a worm.

I like it as is and think it would be a crying shame to supernosedive and become just another black whole, even if it was heart shaped πŸ–€

orchidee said:

As it happens, I\'m doing a short astronomy course. Oh no, they say the Sun\'s only got about 5 billion years left. Now that\'s not long! Doh! lol.
I\'m travelling to Mars by bus. It goes at the speed of light.

How to frame such magnificence in words is beyond me. Just thinking about Light speed give me a short circuit.

A poem that can be identified with. Thinking back I have been working on nothing most of my life. And yes \"the words are never few\"

Such a clever switch - --- your forceful message comes over not only in your title but in those telling few lines.

Mr. Not said:

Might the paperplane be a metaphor for someone who was let down by a person close to them, and then they struggle without them perhaps?

and the last verse, that no matter how well you turn out without that person, the thought of them and why they left you will forever be weighing you down?

Very nice poem crypticbard! All the meanings hidden under the simple words makes me think lots and lots!

I have been working full on so seem to have missed out on a whole lotta news .. this post reads well but I need to know what exactly inspired it ..

I guess I have just proved that old adage write \'All work and no play makes Nev a dull boy\' ... N

plumbing depths
Bella Shepard said:

There is something in the air these days that insidiously wraps us in dismay, dispair, disharmony. When and how it began is hard to say, and when it will end I guess is up to us, if we\'re up to the task. This is such a thought provoking and soul searching write dear poet. Thank you for putting into words something I think we are all sharing.
