unsending love
arqios said:
It can be reimagined thusly: \"In one fleeting breath I held your name,
Once, just once—no age-old reverie to bind us.
My heart unraveled its songs before they formed,
No necklace of memories, only shards of now.
When I scroll through screens of touch and text,
You blur before me—a spark that flickers, then fades.\"

A dark and sad poem but maybe not for if love can be unsent then never felt and now not remembered there will be no pain and in that a sun raises on new terrain of a reborn world. Lovely

This is what poetry is supposed to be all about. I mean \"the page expands—
a breath between lines, a lull between thoughts\" is classic. Very nice.

Oh, I dunno, this is probably too cryptic for me. Summat about some bloke not climbing Everest? I knew I wouldn\'t get the hidden meanings! I must ask Fido, who knows of course. heehee.

How relatable is that to so many, as we ponder life and the next flow of words in our head, and I do love the pun in the title, sorry as they say little things please little minds and that tickles me, enjoyed the read

I think we can all familiarise with this Poem and it\'s sentiments. The draft of a Poem is always Whispering in your ear in a Marilyn Monroe Breathless way. Well Said.

A mysterious and quiet opening to this poem. Set in the early hours past bed time a seductive entrance of the siren, sensuality swells then the awakening but behind it all she is still there. The use of blinking is a great effect to emphasize the presence in the background. Very nicely written Cryptic

Your rewrite elevates the original to unforeseen heights until a playful poem becomes a nearly breathtaking thing of beauty, incorporating the ideas with an extraordinary twist. Gorgeously rendered with superb imagery and a waltzing poignancy. Thank you very much for sharing.

As I read this the first thought was the contrast between government statements of all is good and the news that all is bad. One trying to stay in power and sell things to keep the investor happy the other trying to sell news to a public thirsty for hearing of others suffering more than they. Then putting the title with the poem and rereading another meaning that the work week is all bad news and drudgery while the weekend is looked forward to as a place of rest. The lines
kids skate on rainbow-broken sidewalks,
transforming potholes into skip-beats.
Brilliant! the image fits so well with the meaning of the poem. It is how we see things that matters and the news casts these shadows for our mind.
