This is a really nice poem. I really enjoyed the flow of this piece, and the way you played around with the 'penny for your thoughts' line. Thanks for sharing

Wow. I enjoyed your jumble of cascade words and imagery pushing forward to your poem's conclusion. Poem feels modern, fresh. Your scattered rhymes are delicate and do not overwhelm. I enjoyed this couplet:

"magic twirls precious made from pearls
pure as music's heartbeats plural"

Your musical poem makes my heart beat.

Thank you for sharing.

I enjoyed your themes and your ideas. There's a lot of visually striking images that you've painted in my mind. I think perhaps you could have an authors note to describe precisely how this was inspired, or what it all means to you, the author. But that's just a selfish wish. Great job.

I think if one has just one friend then one has riches in friendship. In my case I have a wonderful friend, lover and a wife all rolled into one. Beautiful language Michael, the thought of a fairy tale, presumptions that they can't happen, well...maybe, beautifully written my friend, blessings, Roy

Hey Michael(((((((((... why stop at a penny... I'm willing to pay more for that wonderful view and combination of words that dazzle even the most moonstruck and spellbound... cast me off... voyage me as though time has no meaning for monetary after thoughts.

Really love reading your style of original Brother... always sit looking--waiting like at the end of a movie you don't want to stop... like, is there any outtakes showing?

Mesmerising-polarizing!

With our thoughts we create,
fading-feathered-fragmentation,
James.

Hi Michael,

Your poem is really nice and I really enjoyed reading it. I've always love Tom Hanks too who is a wonderful actor. I remember watching this movie years ago.
Thanks for sharing the song too. I have it on full blast but it's still not really loud. I wonder what's up with that?

    Oh Sweet Michael,

    You are still a youngster compared to this old mom. I just turned 79 on April 29th. My oldest daughter will soon be 60 in July, if I'm remembering right. My brain has a mind of its own and has decided to do what it wants. LOL

    Love you, Mom

Continuing the money theme and adding the feather... I particularly enjoyed your alliteration of "p's" and "c's" and your "Cinderella slipper-ed" image. Smiles and waltz on- Joan
