man of subtle currents he is an autumn stream of depths still warm from a season past steadied into pools of captured sky his clouds trees reach down to heights beyond vision deep as stars while he holds quietly aside pensive stands reflected infinite within for hubert neth, who is as close to an ideal man as god ever made, save one, and whom I tried for years to pattern myself on, while becoming merely me. |

Eddy darling man, now this is excellent writing, YOU may be merely you, but I consider you to be one hell of a poet, and I, I say blushing modestly am considered to be something of a good judge on these things. Mainly because i had such a quality education, that isn't to say i made the best use of it, but still it was of excellent quality. Truly excellent writing as always and I really love it as always Mushy xx xx xx  Tomorrow is another day I don't know what it holds |

You may disagree, but I know whom that is, Mr. Merely Me. *S* This is incredibly lovely... you write this man of goodness with such an understanding pen... I hope you send this to him!! |

"deep as stars" ...as are you, it seems. His words are inspiring. Your words are inspiring. I think becoming 'merely you' is something to be proud of. Always, Alyssa Hupomeno. |

it has been awhile since I have had the opportunity to read your poems. After reading this one I now regret not keeping up with your work. Tom. |

Yes...I was so glad to see this one come back from the depths.... In this edition of Open there are a bunch of what (to me) are my strongest poems ever -- pieces of my heart -- and some of them just tumbled through...... But if I could have chosen one of them to get resurrected, it might well have been this one. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |
