Hello, my friend,

The picture is a puzzle with the fence posts leaning the same way on each side. it looks a lot like a prison. I like the cadence and theme. Well done :)

    I think it was a concentration camp. Thank you.

victortouche,

Your arrangement here is very creative. Your feelings are expressed well. Your arrangement looks very nice. The theme is good. Very reflective, all thoughts are very well described, understandable and comprehensible.

There was no SPAG. No typos. No homophones. No problems at all.

The words you chose worked very well.

I look forward to seeing you again.

Love you,

Oatmeal

I love the idea of sailing over the fence post. I had hoped I'd find more reference to the picture. There is a good possibility I just missed it, I do that frequently. Nevertheless, I enjoyed reading and sailing with you.

    The picture is essentially the true reference for poem and its meaning. A concentration camp.

Fence posts like barricades, hurtles, bumps in life's road and the "he" a spiritual bring, angel, or perhaps the character's version of God? Lovely, uplifting poem that they were lifted up over these obstacles and sailed away.

    Very close, and the reader's interpretation is never to be questioned anyway. Because the poem speaks to him in that way. Who am I to differ? Thank you.

Neat poem flows well and tells a great story. Creates a strong mental image. Well done! I don't see anything that needs to be corrected, but I'm not a poet, so punctuation and capitalization elude me in poems - I'll leave checking that to you. Thanks for writing and sharing!

Re your metaphoric poem, "Fence Posts," I read your author's notes first so not sure what to expect.....

First of all, I liked the layout of your poem because it made it so easy to read....

I particularly resonated with your stanzas....

and then with sea
and laughter start

to mend ourselves
that fell apart

Whether we look through a fence post, garden wall, curtain, over the rainbow -- or within ourselves... we strive to learn more about our existence and our purpose for being here while clothed with flesh and then -- in our Soul bodies -- explore this vast universe...
.
At least that is what I do.

I enjoyed reading this and the time and deep thought you put into writing it.

A very thought provoking piece Victor. The picture is a puzzle with the fence posts leaning the same way on each side. Looks like a prison scene and maybe we all have our prisons or fences that we need to sail over like the Judy Garland rainbow.

Well done
Janet
