Becoming The Dream

More fluid and \"natural\" than your usual tight diction. I like them both. This one is fragile and sensitive.

Love this poem. For me, your final stanza so beautifully phrases the duality of perception.

\'Double parked
in a no-comment zone\'
I think I deflated a lung
coughing at these lines
arrowed commentary, delivered
with such poetic simplicity
(I want these lines printed on a tshirt)
lol
thanks for sharing

such acute commentary, wise Poet
a sobering read
(when the assassins, vanquished
veracity
all they left us, were tattered lies
to fight over
\'all enslaved\' indeed, wise Poet
herded by pre-conditioned choices
programmed to abide, by laws
invisible to reason or empathy
mind\'s, warped
by subliminal imagery from birth
so now
our fingers click and swipe
before we even realise
we\'re trying to purchase mindless
distraction
in bitesize increments of alerts
while lamenting
the lack of worth, in our sense of self)

The Final Lie
L. B. Mek said:
\'Numbers have a lasting smell
while figures have a taste\'
\'Dimension in the blackest hole\'
\'Counting up or counting down
deception stays the same\'
(1*9=0 \'9\'
2*9=1 \'8\'
3*9=2 \'7\'
4*9=3 \'6\'
5*9=4 \'5\'
6*9=5 \'4\'
7*9=6 \'3\'
8*9=7 \'2\'
9*9=8 \'1\'
10*9=9 \'0\')
why do you think, \'they\'
don\'t teach it like this in schools
(loved this dear Poet
great work!
and yes, there is no greater Art
than Nature\'s, maths
\'gravity\'s opposing forces
as a probability of happenstance anyone?\')
lol
no wonder, half a millennia later
science can barely manage to reverse engineer
such a meagre percentile of wondrous Nature
Pythagoras had it sussed
we should all be worshipping
the Mexican jumping bean
lmao

Very compelling... the \"meaning\" sneaks up on you, you lose your track for a moment, then another meaning starts to form. Just the right amount of abstraction and image to fascinate. If I have not said it before, even when I don\'t understand or embrace one of your poems, I must admit that you have just about the most sophisticated, well-edited style and diction of all the regular posters on this site. You never let me down in that respect. I am always impressed by your word-craft.

Motion Transformed
L. B. Mek said:
\'beyond the five\'
we\'re at six now, and counting/discovering
(how nose-tips to mobile screens
while outside bumping shoulder and cars
can be a thing and not cause
the massacre of idiocy
we all \'feared\' it may...
just behind the ears, apparently)
lol
\'Stealing us inward
past seasons respite
Memory delivers
what stimulus feigns\'
beautiful lines, a call to arms
for us
who are sleep walking through life
a great read, dear Poet

Hiding In Plain Sight
L. B. Mek said:
enjoyed how you dipped into so many cultures
with each brushstroke of your vivid poetry\'s bold notes
but I think the line
\'Born in chains climbing though the moss\'
will linger longest, for me..
as-ever, such an impressive write
thanks for sharing, dear Poet

Endless String

In 1983, Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen met in Paris
(oh to have been a gadfly in that hallowed room
I bet Socrates himself would have loved to attend)
Happy New Year, dear cherished Poet

to that sameplace, it stemmed from
originally
that space of patience, awaiting
our next generation of genius
to shake
our world loose of cobwebbed indifference;
Bukowski wrote
\'I walk on and wonder, where
the living goes
when it stops\'
in that self-searching poem
a mirror to your theme, I think..
a great searching write, dear Poet
so relatable

Cat Stevens Was Right
L. B. Mek said:
I\'d never heard of cat stevens before
but your words resonate with me
since, we\'re all striving to ink words
at a time
when all people want to consume as distractions
are cartoonish, memes..
yet
still, we endeavour to word a line
a phrase, a write
that will cut through
the accumulated debris, upon people\'s awareness
and awaken, their capacity
to think
and allow themselves the opportunity
to exist as individuals...
