Cursive Lines Cursive moves, loops and swirling then watch, you, as lines run hurling, moving m’s and o’s toward infinity trailing along through eternity taught at young age the curling feel lost from time in computer’s real but found again in dark of night when electric leaves one in candle’s light cursive lines, an easy move leaves me thinking in pensive groove so first draft of mind then finds me penning swift in cursive lines like riding bikes, my soul is pleased by cursive line, the soft touch eased by light and dreams as my mind whirls a prayer released as layers unfurl Oh! I will explore these cursive lines to enfold what seems an easier time. ~*~ 4/1/2001 © KRJ Revised 10-18-10 |

I guess no matter what the modern world brings, one never forgets the simple things  |

What attracted me to the poem was the subject matter as I too am mesmerized by geometric patterns. The poem took me in a direction that I didn`t expect as it brought back memories of my late mother-in-law whose name was Yaeko. You write of cursive lines running into eternity and that can encompass everything. Yaeko`s chinese characters (Kanji) that made up her name had a similiar meaning. As you probably know Kanji are pictographs. Yaeko`s kanji was the character for eight which looks like an upside down v with the tip cut off. The lines that spread out mean all encompassing or eternity. The character accompaning it meant child. She was a wise woman with varied interests who lived up to her name. |

Well thought out reflections. Made me think of flowers in the park and scenic word picture poetry. The only relation being, I guess, the times of peace not quite so technological. Art forms not forgotten. That's why I still like the blues so much. Eric rambling..... |

This is absolutely brilliant, such a tender write with the softest slant. Enjoyed each verse unfolding and how it compliments what came before and after. You're poetry is a treasure. |

This is almose an ode to the past.I love it.You rarely see any one writing in cursive today. Good hand writing or not,I always could pick up an envelope and just by the handwriting know who sent the letter or note. I miss that.So few send letters by regular mail and those that do usually print. I do not even think they teach much cursive writing in schools today.I remember watching my Dad with pen in hand making small circles in the air before touching pen to paper. thank you for this.latearrival/jo |
