Sappho\'s Isle of Dreams
L. B. Mek said:
wonderful, this version is more seeped in mythological glint
but your stylistic lyrical style adds that rooted connection
to her own signature words of versed musicality,
a great read!

Thanks... very smooth, melodious, and evocative. I was once a Greek scholar of sorts. Sappho would smile.

Sappho\'s Lost Lyrics
L. B. Mek said:
(such a brilliant and timely write my friend!
I can\'t thank you enough for inspiring
my own little scribbled dedication in reply)..
\'with poetic eloquence of Horace
and the free love utopia of Epicurus
that defiant legend of Greek Poetess brilliance, shall ever prevail!
though her works may have been conveniently, misplaced
fate insured her feats of lyrical legacy, transcend
chauvinist prejudice and archaic mindsets
to trailblaze a path for Poetry\'s Queens
imagine humanity without the poetic wisdom
of Elizabeth, Emily, Gwendolyn, Rossetti, Sylvia, Maya
(to name but a handful few), what a horror nightmare
of testosterone self importance
Sappho: saved us all from...\'

Love Story
L. B. Mek said:
\'A low lament, on broken strings,
my bitterness betrayed.\'
this line and that last verse hit home for me, a wonderful read..
I liked your play on a fairy tale theme as well, inclusive of that essential happy ending
it reinforces that surreal element of disbelief your voice conveys

L. B. Mek said:
how much of what we perceive is curated by our need to cultivate a reality that matches our state of emotionality? (is the profound question your write whispered to me)..
a great read, I liked how you incorporated so many diverse aspects of poetry in this one write,
a stream of consciousness feel
steeped in melancholy
citing our thirst for nature
train journey, as setting and theme
all versed in your trademark flow

Lovely well thought out words ... but a sad tone . Birds are beautiful ..,
I hate to think of a bird feeling sad wounded or scared

You have nothing to reproach yourself for Kevin - either with respect to the ultimate fate of the bird or the quality of your verse.
Good stuff.

Dead Man\'s Bones
L. B. Mek said:
\'grew cold as steel and wouldn’t grieve
or wear my heart upon my sleeve,\'..
how well I relate:
\'I have never shed a tear at a funeral
and yet
many a night I\'ve slept
on pillows
soaked with regret\'..
a great write dear poet!
I\'m sorry for your loss but know, the mere fact you have a father worth those tears that wait and accumulate, is a source for gratitude and in some small way,
may - one day, represent a modicum of solace

am I right in remembering this write from before, dear poet?
if I had time I would search and verify for myself..
either way a bravely revealing read and a poignantly emotive dedication, as ever - skilfully executed

oh I\'m not so sure, dear poet
at times
in the hue of sunset

I sometimes, stumble
upon peak\'s of life, that resemble
heaven\'s picturesque gates: as well
