This is a quite stirring love poem, my friend!
While focused on uniqueness of experience, it
speaks to the generic - allowing the reader the
luxury of polishing the imagery to suit his or
her own specifics.

I was particularly taken by
sightseeing impossible to recreate...
I contemplate how check dies to mate

catechism of beginning-

Hi Michael,
well-well-well my Brother, from first sight the into taste-- your words weaved the intrigue... the standout for me... once again your ability to play with words and sayings and come out totally original... no better for me than...
I contemplate how check dies to mate.

And of course I am a huge fan of the 'Sons', so the spliced clip went down a treat.

I really enjoyed this reading this fine creation... love is a strange and powerful drug... you know once you've had a taste and it sits in your psyche... no going back... no going forward... checkmate!

With our thoughts we create,
the connection to a good vintage,
James.

I relished your love poem and cascading wine glass artwork. Your progression of "wine to grapevine" is compelling. And I was fascinated by the "train" references, especially since my son is a rail buff! Your "check dies to mate" is a neat wordplay and "catechism of beginnings" is quite evocative. Well done! Joan

I still can't get over the animation and cascading love poem. Cheers- Joan

    you Know J...its moments like this that confirm life purpose and fill our bellies with the alfalfa male sprout of push forward. It is certainly satisfying to realize there still some who recognize scripture when they read it. I accept this this six star, proud to do so, and salute your wisdom great woman. Your friend forever, the warrior poet...love Michael

I always love your moving pictures, Michael. This bottomless glass of wine might not even be such a bad thing.

Love the grapevine allusion. Through the conversation of others we become alive in ways we never knew we could.

But then again we are simply a construct with instructions, how to organize and piece together the bits.

Yes indeed it is all a game, or as some would say, even a joke.

Wonderful free verse from your mind to keyboard dear Michael.

Exceptional!!

Gloria

    All of them, Michael? Now I know of a least one fella who claimed he was afflicted with schizophrenia, depression, OCD, bipolar so we can begin there. Then of course there are all the personality disorders such as borderline, malignant narcissists and that sort. They are much harder to diagnose. Any particular person you are referring to?
reply by the author on 06-Feb-2016
    Let's talk about the narcissist one tonight...do you mind...? you have my full attention remarkably...-smile-...please...?
reply by Gloria .... on 06-Feb-2016
    Okay, shoot! First off, what do you know about the disorder?

reply by the author on 06-Feb-2016
    um...I think um a controlling need...sort of like you and this conversation. I've noticed you've never answered my first question...and I had to write that down...just so you know...Sweetheart are you calling me names...you looking for a highnoon...-headtilt- haha...now this is different...still interested-

mmmmm... unexpected booty shot... thank you for that, Dear Michael... ;)
it's been some time since I've had a booty here. ;)
So that was nice. lol

And so is your poem, I see a return of our Michael.. your last two poems seemed to be a slight departure from your regular style, but this is you to a T... well done, I like it either way... shows versatility... love the repeats at the end... brings it full circle... lovely.
