The Constancy Of Love
Seeker said:
Sorry for the delay Willy but I really do appreciate the kind words. After 19 years with her I was without an identity but gloriously happy. Then I crashed terribly into tbe ground.

What Is Beauty?
Augustus said:
I have felt guilty for having placed too much emphasis on beauty. Like you say it feels like something foreign in our brains that causes us to do so. Well done.

What Is Beauty?
OxfordSkills said:
Wow! Interesting imagery and metaphors! .. I interpreted your poem as written from the perspective of an Alzheimer\'s sufferer. An emphasis of the \"worm\" that gnaws the \'mental entrails\' and ceases the recalling to mind the beauty and wonders of life, including love.

Socrates\' Bias
rrodriguez said:
Your poem is awesome. I teach philosophy and love to read about it. To know thyself is the counsel of the wise, especially Socrates. Excellent! Just scour again and my some minute grammatical correct and the poem will be perfect.

A Cynics Visitation
Reivax Camlost said:
It's obvious that a lot of work went into this. Lots of allusion, and it speaks plainly as well as subtly about the true nature of life- i.e. why we work, why we live, and why we battle every day with our nature.

I will be 73 on May 1st. Reading your poem Dave made me realize as I get older things from my past, for some reason, make me want to put parts of if not all of it in words, not kept just in my private thoughts. Some time the words come easy. Some time they do not. Eventually they come. Enjoy reading your reflection on life past and present.

The Light In August

Poetry is, first and foremost... a tool for expressing beauty, and for personal introspection.

The Hungry Id
Severus Alexander said:
I thoroughly enjoy this poem...
Perhaps it is some symptom of my relatively young age, or the fact that I am, at heart, a romantic...
Age (and wisdom) have yet to grace my hopeful, sunlit skies.
Whether these ephemeral fronts (of the meteorological variety, albeit metaphorical in nature) should be warm or cold, light or dense, humid or dry, and what fair or calamitous weather should result in their conjoining, remains to be observed.
However, If a fool must believe in true love, or wisdom the unwitting companion to a certain semblance of cynicism, then I would much prefer the lot of the love-struck fool to that of the gray-bearded and sagacious man.
I admire your style and your predicament.
However, there was an old adage... "One either is lucky at bones. or lucky at love..."
Bones being kind of like dice.
Keep searching for that companion of the female variety, but know... that there is more within the heart than can be ever be conceived of by the mind.
A true poet's one true love is beauty, itself.
And through your poetry, be it by means of the written word, or some other equal art, (assuming that 'poetry' can be evinced in any earthly undertaking) may you find true beauty.
I wish upon you, wiser one, all the beauty in the world.
For, surely such a poet as yourself could make better use of it than I.

Please allow me to state that, if you have not yet heard the same from another,
You will go far.
Far, indeed. : )

A Notable Journey
Severus Alexander said:
Oh, my God!
This is the most amazing piece of poetry which I have ever had the pleasure of experiencing!
I am dead serious.
And yes, I'd like to think that I know a thing or two about good poetry.
Your conversational style outshines the fluidity of Robert Frost, and the profundity of your words rival that of Poe..
But, Oh! I cannot define your style by the excellence of others, for it surpasses them all.
I have no doubt that your are as unique and intelligent as the work which you have here displayed.
