What powerful images you create with these words... words that chime together in beautiful sounds and stir emotions deep down. I'm amazed yet again at the way you use language. "Fruit succulent orange blossomed youth" is especially strong and rich in sensory appeal. And I love the sound of "all abundant pungent life," when read aloud, as well as, "digested preciousness tastes worshipped," I can't imagine how you come up with such unique phrasing but your poetry fascinates and stirs me and makes mine seem pretty blah by comparison. You sparkle, Michael... like a clear night sky full of countless stars. I love the sky. It is ever-changing, and always amazingly beautiful. MM

Your writing has such allure Michael and I so often have to entertain a second read to glean the meaning. Just when I think I have it, I'm not so sure I have it at all...
With that said, it looks like you've found what you're after here and feel the need to look no further. Way to go you shipwrecked harbinger! Enjoy the fruits in those sails and digesting that preciousness in the company of your last dinner guest!

Manna is a word from the Old Testament. It does seem out of place. The rest of the poem seems to form a unified whole with the harbinger, the ships the fruits and the images of something, her, leading one on.

This is very nice and oddly sad to me, Michael. The music put this up and over for a sixer, buddy. It added a special element to set a surreal tone, almost personal in fact. Great work. I do wonder if a coma between heaven here on each usage might help with the reading cadence. Simply wonderful poem, Bruce.

I was intrigued by your picture selection--it looks like the wooden hull of an old ship and parallels your poem perfectly. I enjoyed your "desert island" and "ambrosia" in "pursuit of happiness". Smiles and happy weekend- Joan
