Comment from Leineco
I've been a bit frazzled/preoccupied
and faltered in my just between me and me promises. . .
sorry to be so late to the party
What stunning imagery!
equipoised golden turquoise
off balance surprised
horizon
I read a poet (Susan Alkaitis) recently say "I've noticed that when I read a great poem, I feel a touch of vertigo. I thought it was nausea, but it could be that I hold my breath when a poem begins crossing over into something immense or transcendent. Reading poetry is a rush that way." and this poem simply brought her words rushing back.
You've given voice throughout this poem to that "mystical" otherworldliness that on certain occasions enshrouds two lovers. . .astonishes them with its surreal vibrancy.
Outstanding write Michael.

Comment from Jumbo J
Hi Michael,
you smooth dog, you!
There's so much magic in the 'pause' in reading this... well, I'm one to savour something that has this kind of after-taste.
Don't have to keep telling you what and how I feel about the way you combine words and phrases that takes your poems to higher realms of delight.
Yeah Brother, got nothing but love and praise for these words and this exquisite poem.
As a whole it is beautiful... 'yours' is so original, so authentic... and a style, that only you my friend could pull off... I read it and had tears in my eyes... nah, not ashamed to confess... magic!
With our thoughts we create,
connected bliss.
James.

Comment from Dean Kuch
Hello, Michael.
You get away with so many blatant juxtaposition jumbles, scansion scrambles, and syntax switches that it never ceases to amaze me that you do as well as you do.
For example:
craving champagnes expression us
savoring taste of human being...Grammatically to me, this makes absolutely no sense at all as a coherent sentence. Yet no one ever seems to mention these things to you.
I guess the meaning is simple, really. I don't grasp the allure.
On the same token, not everyone "gets" haiku either, so I guess that makes us even.
To each their own I suppose.
Best of luck, Michael.

haha...well Mr Dean. I don't do it in deliberate mean...and that's difference betwixed....almond and joy...-wink-
now for my reading pleasure I shall enlighten you even more.
craving champagnes expression us....equals...."we are the celebration of life"
savoring taste of human being....is..."living in love"
I guess because they can figure it out without coaching Cochise
but I'm here if you need me. yea I've done some Haiku...I just cant remember any. well Good luck to you too Dean...its been a scream. love Michael

Comment from edn2050
Ocean is sky is tender, mystic, tremulous and manages to create a balance , a poise ,
a tentative blissful experience of ecstasy wrapped in serendipity.
I absolutely loved it , except" the strawberries and creams " bit which is like an overload , but I would not know , cannot figure out ..what else to trade it with .

Welcome back--I hope the new year has started well for you and continues in a healthy and productive vein. Thank you for sharing your "Wonder" and the terrific imagery and sound of the memorable "equipoised golden turquoise" and its repeat. I liked that you also appealed to our senses of touch and taste. Big hugs- Joan
