Each day that passes misses more the rhyming rhythm once before of Sy and thoughts that he could bend from words of heart in special blend: More Titled Sighs The test is ours to touch a butterfly of happiness, to lift every rock with velvet glove and pace the footsteps of the true path on our journey of dreams. The eye of I, still sees the ocean of thought through the creation of the mind within the valley of acceptance. And even when hobbling (with sand in my shoes) I look back, fixed on the phasing of change. Each touch of life, like walking in the rain, the mist of once upon, a mark of time, a show of love to silence the dieing embers. And leave me to picture... an evening's dream. M "Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less." |

Dear NakdThoughts, I saw your comment on Huan Yi's 11/26/07 posting and thought you made a lot of sense. You do understand the need for the specific, I think, but from what I see in this poem and the other current posting of yours, also about this person named Sy, it's sometimes hard to put into action. I think this person named Sy must be wonderful indeed to be worthy of such outpourings. He should feel flattered. From reading your work, I wonder if you've been reading much Modern American Poetry from outside this website. I think you may be missing a very important source of essential vitamins and minerals in your poetry diet. I hesitate to suggest any poets in particular, lest you feel I'm steering you poorly, but there are lots of terrific writers, men and women both, that have appeared in journals and books over the last 20 years, and I don't see that you're getting the variety of examples that would be helpful for you here. By all means, keep up here; but try to do some substantial outside reading as well. This looks like a fairly sealed poetry universe with fine support and many advantages. Why not look at what's being published outside as well, simply for perspective? Best wishes, BobK. Also I wish good things for the much admired Sy. He sounds like he deserves them. |

I notice Bob that you don't wish for critiques under you profile for your poetry. If you had checked under mine you would have noticed the same. I really don't know what your purpose was for the comment under my poem about another response under someone elses... Huan Yi , I believe, knows me well enough that the answer was sort of "tongue in cheek" to his short poem... For those who have been on here long enough may understand my position in life and my reasons for being here. Secondly, I have read much poetry in here, and in books over my lifetime. How I write and express myself is my own style and is meant to let those who read, gain whatever they feel from it or "not". I don't mind your response and am taking no offense to it. I am just explaining that I am not in the critical analysis forum and am writing for pure pleasure and relief. This poem and another were to use another's titles who is not feeling up to par right now...and I thought many of his words could be put to a meaning that would help to cheer him up, besides the fact that he is a fairly good poet on here and well respected. If you care to expand on my problems as a poet or person or "not well read" student of poetry, you are welcome to email me. Maureen |

nice write violence may not be the answer, but it does make good headway |

Well now your kind and sensitive heart is right up here for all to see, and I hope that Sy reads this Maureen. What a caring way to show he is thought about. Heck, you read me, so therefore you must be very well-read ![]() |

Lovely Maureen, Enjoyed the poem. However, I was more entertained with your deft response to the critic. AND, in both endeavors, your inner beauty prevails :-) H, Robert |
