"Michael rowed home long ago....."

Out of this entire poem...that line stuck with me the most. It's a lot of unspoken meaning behind it...

I think what fascinates me about your poems is that they are so mysterious, yet so filling to the creative spirit. They are emotional. And that song. My gosh!

Keep writing...Magnificent and I don't have a six...I guess I am a true fan...

I have to say the nymph you chose resembles you--hair color and shape of her face--meant as a compliment! You did not sound "hollow" to me as your "rowed" the boat to the faraway shore. Hugs- Joan

I find abstract poetry difficult to understand. I write children's literature so you know I have a simple mind. This is interesting and seems well done. Quite a picture with the movement in it. I do agree that we are each our own person-solo-which is life. My mate of all these years still isn't me and we share different views on life. Very well done.

    dog gummit....whoops...thank you Joyce. I dont see the world as ...hm..."ordered" ah -headtilt-...you know in makes sense kind a way....or kind a sense expected or planned....most of the time the "sense" is found alomg the journey or at the end looking back. so thats how i see it and reveal it. I'm hoping there is a world of make sense order though....somewhere...-smile- love Michael

A very interesting poem rich with layers of meaning. I love the artwork as it drew me first into your fantasy poem.

The words were cryptic and alluring, begging the reader to further explore their meaning.

Well done,
Rhonda
