In
combing
through talents
I shall become
familiar with creative minds churning.
Pools of stanzas will become a whirlpool
concave as they
cone the mind
towards
joy.

- Comment from author about the poem: This poem captures my urge to read the poems written by my friends. It is the best way to share the joy of friendship, chatting with friends at every round table. In the familiar words of Francis Bacon: Reading makes a perfect man, Conference a readying man, and Writing an exact man.

Fascinating. I like it! Though your second stanza seems to rule out some of the nasty depressing pieces many of us like to churn out in our frustrations....I prefer the cheerful assessment you've thus given in that second stanza, since I more eagerly read John Clare and Charles Tennyson Turner's beautiful, loving sketches of nature than the nasty pieces many of us are wont to put forth, and have to remind myself that is the higher standard for which to aim. Also, the third point of your Bacon quote reminds me again of how rather very exact sonnet composition is, making it not only a challenging form to achieve, but also giving it the honor of being termed "the most exquisite form of poetry"...so very exact. Excellent. I enjoyed this "vignette", as it were, on our mutual hobby.
I believe you can read a person very well through their poetry. I have been reading you some and find you to be a very pleasant person. Thanks for sharing. diamond
