I like this poem a lot.
"human thunderstorms
wet as wingless birds dreaming thirst
and the poet knows... "--wow! Pure poetic creation. Such powerful imagery.
We are easily breakable, but our faith is profoundly strong.
Exceptional poem
Hugs

Hi Michael,
This is a great little poem. You have written it very well and it held my interest from beginning to end. You sure do know how to get out a couple of a poems every day. I'm doing well, if I can get one out every 3 or 4 days.

Hi Son,
So nice to hear from you. I don't get to write much. It seems I'm always reviewing others work. I am also getting very forgetful and had to go to Duluth to find out what's what. I get the results on Wednesday.
Love you, Mom
Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
Hi Michael, I loved once, too. You really only get the real thing once. But that is enough, better than never having been loved and loved back the same. Some never find it, some spurn love because they are afraid. Timid vulnerable flesh and bone, we are too easily broken. Your poem is great, my friend, lots going on inside it. Love you my dear Micheal. Sandy. xxxx

do we...? or was an ahh ideal of perfection almost obtained. I dont know like you...you had the follow through...you owned it from beginning to end. I don't think I've ever been loved enough to feel safe, I thought I did...I mean I did...but I wasn't...was I....yes....I know that whom I've loved couldn't have been loved better or more. It is anger um...-headshake- pride I guess....that makes us think it ...ahh okay...supposed to be that a ah relationships wane or widening should end and even end in annomosity. I never did understand that...but I've met some Baptist bullshiters who encourage and deem it necessary...go figure....-headshake-...some people will never find their way home with even the directions tucked up under arm. hm...here is great example of ...most... who offer love unworthy, weightless as hot air. compared to the Christ presume to follow...I watched these people turn into the world their founder and God Himself warns against, absolutely convinced in their righteous worth more than you or I...or any other who do not don their misguided doctrine. Ah somebody is at the door....love you michael

I thought that your choice of words were great in this piece. I particularly liked your last line: wet as wingless birds dreaming thirst. Good use of description throughout and your writing flowed well. I couldn't spot any faults...Jacob

Oh how I love your reversed lines at the end. It always seems to bring everything full circle. "Wet as wingless birds dreaming thirst" was just such a great use of words. Love it. Cheers, MM

Comment from royowen
This actually speaks to me, despite it's abstractions, I love the imagery you have vividly portrayed in this Michael, the starkness of humankind from the cradle to the grave, as in Ecclesiastes, talks of the meaninglessness of life, and it's troubled journey, or sojourn, as you eloquently assert, well done, in expressive, descriptive language, elegantly penned, blessings and happy Easter to you and yours, Roy.

Hey Roy...-smile- thank you sir. You know when I first came here, all I wrote was my God poems.....I had been doing it..."my God thing" for a year or so before....I would frame one of them and hand it to my customers as I was walking out. I guess my own little ministry...I felt like I was doing something...sometimes anyway...-smile- .....but...my life is not all spirit walk...I'm half and half...one white dog and one black....and theres a whole bunch of gray in between the two...and if I'm honest , I write about it all......and then I started writing in the moment....whatever I was feeling...felt ...usually sparked by a songs message to me...where it took me...takes...right then and now. -shouldershrug-...I don't know evolution...? lol love Bug-

Well done, Michael

Dear Michael - I thought this is one of your best - how you have crafted the poet himself within the storm:
" human thunderstorms
wet as wingless birds dreaming thirst
and the poet knows... " // loved this stanza!
" tip velvet threshold experience each and every breath
held indefinite empathetic awareness
carefully yields to temptations taste starving need obese " // Also thought you did some great imagery in this stanza too.
Overall a great work Michael. A six from me.
Thanks for sharing,
Maureen
