My Hungry Body Satisfied.
arqios said:
This poem unfolds like a love letter to music itself: sensual, devotional, and lifelong. It borrows the language of physical intimacy to describe an artistic and emotional connection, turning listening into a full‑body experience. The closing line, leaping from Bach to Pink Floyd, captures the joy of range; how the same soul can be fed by baroque precision one day and psychedelic expanse the next. It’s an ode to versatility, and to the idea that music isn’t just a pastime, but a constant, evolving love affair. It leaves the sense that this “hunger” isn’t meant to be satisfied once and for all but it’s meant to keep pulling you toward the next note, the next discovery.

\"Put another nickel in
In the nickelodeon
All I want is having you
And music, music, music\"
Instant recall, Andy - many thanks. As a bonus I enjoyed the sensuality.

A most lovely walk indeed. Nothing like a walk in nature to give one health physically and mentally. Very nice Andy

Stepping Stones Tanka.
arqios said:
There’s a quiet resolve in this tanka, Andy; the kind that doesn’t shout, but steadies the breath and straightens the spine. Its rhythm feels like walking barefoot across a river: each stone a misstep transformed, each placement deliberate, carrying you forward. The gentle imperative to “put them down ahead of you” turns regret into architecture, mapping a path that wouldn’t exist without the weight you once bore. It’s soft wisdom, but with a backbone of granite.

Priest Of Fishing.
arqios said:
Your poem drifts with the calm simplicity of fishing memories before jolting into the irony of killing “one of god’s creatures” with a tool called a “priest.” This contrast between sacred language and an act of death creates a quiet moral unease, highlighting how cultural traditions can mask contradictions that only become visible when viewed through the lens of time and reflection.

Ah Andy the irony of life never ceases to amaze me. A fun read and one that provokes memories of fishing for trout with my father.

Up there is one of the most interesting autobiographical pieces you\'ve written, Andy. Documents change in you. Provides a piece of information verifiable online of which I had no knowledge, but at the same time demonstrates how language can be full of odd connotations. Plus with respect to your end comment, as a vegetarian, with the exception of mosquitoes and cockroaches, I\'m with you all the way.

That is very strange to call that! When I was little and beach fishing we had to do the same but I couldn\'t do it and was just hurting the fish more. My older brother had to come and give it a wack and that\'s when I knew I\'d never be built to take lives.
Great write

Sun on the green
Echoes in my mind
