Another outstanding, polished and deeply original and imaginative work. Your muse is on a roll. I rarely deliver two sixes in a row to the same person. The fragmented style suits perfectly. This has subtle ahas laced into it, worthy of multiple reads. Very fine alliteraiton and other poetic devices woven in (too many to mention, so I'll let those six stars accomplish the applause they deserve)


I especially love:

The personification here is fantastic--and makes a great opening:

Put pen
To paper
And watch it curve,
Open, unfold, imagine
Worlds of places

SUPERB AHA:
Carrying you away
Off the flat and rectangular;
Day dreaming yourself
Into rainbows of colors,
Shapes shifting across the spectrum,
The wide open expanse
Of possibilities reaching out


OUTSTANDING:
Prodigal sons and daughters
Torn from their portraits,
Lost in the newspapers,
In the news reels on television sets,
Becoming caricatures of dreams,
Masks of feelings
Glimpsed in the mirrors
Of the tilted canvas.


THIS IS SIMPLE AMAZING:

The paper
Folds hands
Folding paper dolls
Holding hands
Describing love and desire
Like braille speaking in tongues
In the silence of the streets
Where faces in the crowd
Ask questions with their eyes.

Love how this expands the lens toward far corner:

Somewhere in the Yukon
Or Northwest Territories,
Beyond many rivers,
In uninhabited mountains,
Where fields of wildflowers
Still bloom, untouched.

And then draws it back to the internal landscape:

I could stand here forever.
Sometimes I don't want to leave.


You really should be publishing a book...


Love,
rd

Peace is something we all wish and hope for, not just the world peace, but peace with ourselves. I love the way you point to the pen, as being creative and painting a picture. You can go anywhere or nowhere, you can have color, black and white or grays of various shades. The pen knows no limit, so long as the hand writes what the mind tells it too. :) Sherman541

You are most welcome :) When you write poetry that is so like a painting it is so worth reading. :)

I like your imagery of the processes of creativity across the many genres. It's true in writing (or other forms of creativity) we can be taken out of our world and into beautiful places we never want to leave. Whether I am writing, painting, drawing etc. the freedom I feel from expressing myself is something I wish more people were able to enjoy! Very nice piece. Thanks for sharing!
