Hi Victor, yes life can sometimes make you wonder what it's all about and why it chooses to give you such grief. But then again, life is also such a path to joy that makes it all worthwhile.

Life sometimes has a way of breaking us down, piece by piece and bit by bit, to the point where we feel we just can't go on anymore.
But, after awhile we realize that we can pick up the pieces, reconfigure those pieces to fit our current situation, then move on with our lives.
If we can't or don't do that we'll wind up like a shark stuck in a fishing net and drown.
See, sharks never stop swimming, not even when they sleep. They have to have water flowing constantly through their gills or they'll die.

Nice writing, Vic. Food for thought...

    Dean, I have returned to this review many times. One-it is from you. But more, the picture is just fascinating. It explains poetry/art/painting all with but one glance. Amazing, really. Doug

I liked this very much. The photo is intriguing, and the words are just as much so. You seem to share a part of yourself with us, the readers, and it translates that you are in the process of exploring who you are. You did an excellent job with this,and maybe someday I can write half this well:)

    Thank you. You can write well, in my opinion, if you follow Hemingway's advice. "I just sit down at the typewriter...and bleed." Doug

A very well-written poem about what we can find in the mirror when we look into it. Sometimes we can see our live in pieces that we can never put together again.

Hello Victor,
I like this poem,
all those pieces that once seemed to fit together,
but images change with time and perception.
Best not think about glue.

is a poem all by itself.

Well done

A well written poem with a grand flair. I enjoyed reading your poem. The artwork was appropriate and complimentary. No edits or adjustments necessary.

Interesting rhyming and arrangement of your poem. Good subject of course - we view our yesterdays all scattered - I was just counting up the various houses we've lived in since we married - several that we built. The time went by so fast. Do explore your painting.
Good poem

    Really? Thank you. Once in a while I actually like my painting, but so many are just bad.

Hi, Doug. You have been a stranger again for a few weeks? I miss your unique poetry. I sometimes question my own thinking as to whether I am considering it to be unique because it is som totslly different from the norm.

Stanzas like this for instance:

"Covers me
When I just can't paint."

Good job, my friend. Bob

Very sad poem. Really makes one think.

In line 2, do you mean "lie" instead of "lay"? "Lie" is present tense, and "lay" is past. The poem seems to be in present tense. "Lay" suggests that you are remembering something that has already happened. Is this your intent? (Lie/lay is a weird one!)

An interesting conveyance, liking the assembled ingredients used to make this stir, projected bits that unite shaping a very creative conveyance. All in my opinion of this particular write.
