The Price of Bravery
sorenbarrett said:
Here here Gray a lovely poem that tells it as it is. Fear must be conquered by facing it. It is not that the brave do not fear it is though their fear that they face that they are called brave.

Long Gone Cursive
Vipassana said:
Once, we danced in circles,
but now, we type in straight lines,
hoping the loops don’t unravel entirely.
you gain something and you lose something. as much as I mourn the loss of handwriting, I have to say the laptop computer has made writing (poems, etc) much much easier.

The Stillness Between Footfalls
Vipassana said:
See there—His face in the stranger\'s stare,
the flicker of wings slicing autumn air.
Your meditation blooms where the hours falter,
carved into the marrow of passing time.
Love that.

A lovely interpretation of the test itself. Well explored and worded it speak just as a poem is a reflection of the writer and reader.

Long Gone Cursive

The agony of steel tipped pens and inkwells; now mastery of the keyboard.
There are even now strong memories embedded there for me. Thanks.

Long Gone Cursive
sorenbarrett said:
I like the subtle introduction of the mechanical and technological into what was once personal and individualized now all the same. The world has become such in order to fit a maximum number of crayons in a box they all have to be lined up the same way and be the same size and shape. Same with people uniformity with the masses. Well done Gray

Dodgeball
sorenbarrett said:
Such a moral in this that gos counter to all political correctness of the day. We live in a world creating fragile individuals. I was told that when my uncle was small and chased home by several bullies my grandmother told him if it happened again she would give him a whipping much worse that theirs. He said but they are bigger and her response was a big dog might win in a fight but a small one can get in a few nips. Well written Gray

Pull the Ripcord

I like to believe that my parachute is open at all times - unless I encounter a closed one .... possibly vain hopes I can control a minor adjustment and safe descent...

The Housefly\'s Final Flight
sorenbarrett said:
Gray coincidence is amazing in that I too in todays poem wrote of burning a fly. What are the odds? This poem takes a different course than mine and seems deep in its allegory of ingenuity, entrapment and destruction. What elaborate means we use to rid ourselves of an annoyance and in the process take joy in display. Ingenious and dangerous its efficiency undisputed. Reminds me how as kids we rolled buckshot down a board where a toad would swallow it until he was so full he could not hop. We would grab him by back legs and shake him upside down until he was empty then start the process all over again. Nicely done my friend
