The republic which claims to be the worlds finest democracy.
Riddled with inaccuracy.
Guns don\'t kill people, it\'s the bullets kill \'em.
Another of your succinct observations with real \'kick \'em in the nuts\' power.

I like the wet paint signs
\'designed\' to blend-in
green on green
so you feel twice, the dunce
first for branding yourself
and second, because
technically you have no one to blame
but yourself...

A Basil Fawlty quote \"There you go again, stating the bleedin obvious\".

Ah yes, the essence of a god who created the world in 6 days but isn\'t quite omnipotent enough to stop the weather, earthquakes etc killing the beings he created.
Many klingons abound.

crazy, but if I tilt my head to the side
your picture reminds me of the Titanic, greeting
its fateful Iceberg of demise;
(maybe its all that oceanic blue) lol
and when I read your words
I can\'t help, but recall
how the Titanic was \'created\'
as an example of humanity\'s industrial prowess
and evolutionary - leap
in understanding and capability,
and yet: on its very first voyage...
(in-short, for me
your Poetry speaks,
of that best hypothesised
planning, of meaningless worth
for mice and men, alike)
thanks for sharing Michael
another poetic treat
you\'ve delivered!

I think the main creation going on here is your pen and ink! I love the pen you include in so many of your drawings... it\'s the literal thing that stands out to me among the fragmentary images of hanging balls, orreries, lyre strings, compass parts, musical notations, and what-not.

Someone\'s quiet time ( daydream ) is unexpectedly interrupted by a bird / someone singing.
I liked the structure and rhyming. The form of this poem gives it its beauty. The words flow, the scene is depicted and yet there is room for interpretation. Lovely poem. - Phil A.

L. B. Mek said:
I am a huge fan
of form, being utilised to accentuate an aspect
of the poetry or the poetic voice;
its much more meaningful than
words and syllables being counted out and stifled to fit-in with some random form or meter rules,
at least for me,
(but each to their own)..
anyway, there are two immediate and direct connections I make
when looking at the aesthetics of your poem, initially
firstly: I link the \'dance\'
in your title
with the easily discernible line pattern
of \'One\' - \'one, two, three\'
just like, some traditional dance steps are counted out,
(introducing concepts of melodic synchronicity
in the relationship your poetry goes-on to depict)
second: your choice
of layout for the two stanzas being interchangeable
almost like how everything is reversed in a mirror;
whilst still being a true a reflection;
(just like the prevalent symmetry
imbued,
in the abstract/surrealism of your painting);
and then, words like \'amorphous, masquerade and lassitude\'
are utilised with purpose to emphasis the free spirit nature
of the person you\'re describing in the second stanza
(almost ambivalent or abstracted
or more poetically,
someone impossible to describe completely,
someone who exists beyond everyday characterisation or labelling,
someone genuinely: Unique
in your eyes)..
and then lastly,
you hint at the intimacy in your relationship, because
you describe how this \'melodic charm\' of hers
only show, during rare times
when its least expected for her to display these alluring traits
\'intervals of quietude\'
\'where few birds sing\'...
(all in all
I found this poem to be a beautiful dedication,
impassioned in its choice wording
and comprehensively - transparently sincere, in its portrayal)
simply a brilliant work of Art
straight from the heart...
(as always
forgive me if I\'ve missed the mark completely
and gone, in a completely different direction to your own,
original interpretation or meaning)
thanks for sharing, my friend
this was a genuine poetic treat!

interpretation.... a haunting sadness pervades and invades otherwise light hearted dreams.
Great flow and an amazing mental picture/story developes.
Interesting picture, is that the musical instrument heronimus bosch played upon.

(I see your name, my friend
and a part of me, that exists in a taut state
simply, exhales for a little while...)
and yes, I too recycle
all the shit that\'s thrown at me
and yes, wise Poet
it sure does make good fertilizer!
which makes good angry potatoes
that insures that moonshine
of fury, I carry with me
is enabled to overcome
all the hurdles, that exist
to trip me...
(still hoping for the best!
thanks for letting us know you\'re still going strong Michael)..
loved the picture, tried to zoom-in
to that core middle colour
looks to me like its that vibrant tint of clotting blood,
and then I got to thinking
are the other colours
born out of that nucleus, essential
or do they work in-reverse
and are condensing to make,
that essential, nucleus;
or even better,
is that existence? a simultaneous experience
of distilled and burgeoning sensations?
either way, that\'s Art
I can finish a wine bottle contemplating over..
thank you!
