As I am posed Poised Pen in hand I am given to wonder If it ought touch The parchment at all It seems quite pointless Really To even attempt To tempt the limning Of such exquisite sadness From the unfortunate nib For the quality of such a penning Would rest solely On the stiff heavy stock Of banded and black-bordered "Mourning" paper And the blackness of the ink "The shortest distance between two points is.....sometimes intolerable" |

What majnu said, although I think the ink is an extension of ones self. Sadness is a part of life's process, but alienating ourselves is a personal choice. I don't mean that in a negative way wranx, it's all about our comfort zones. Dream big, guy!  [This message has been edited by BluesSerenade (06-09-2003 01:56 AM).] |

Ed... good to see you around..though the tone of this is quite sad..I do know the word you place on the paper no matter what color the ink are always worth it.... you carried this off well...tightly done and an almost conversational tone to the poem letting the reader feel as if they are just listening to the inner thoughts of someone wondering how to write the sadness inside... |

Ed, with lack of saying it any better, I ditto everything Capt. Ron said above. It is as if you let us hear your inner thoughts. Thank you for sharing those with us. Hugs  Ethel |

This piece stands on a precipice of thought poised like a diver, surveying the blue-green water below, remembering eyes... and diving in. Wranx, never, Ever, stop writing. |

Wranx~ Reading your critique brought me a smile~ Now, in the bowling poetry world - THIS ONE IS A STRIKE !!! I totally enjoyed the poignancy of the word-thoughts~ *Huglets* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |
