yeah, still here extracting the meaning and connections from contradiction, much like the great Dane would have (though surely his thinking and analysis were more profound than my poems).

Thank you for putting a smile on my face with your flattering compliment. I was definitely fooled and not aware you wrote the 'crow' poem but it was witty in its own right. I’ll have to reread it when l get a minute ...
I heard you had some physical setbacks (through the grapevine) and I hope you’re healing well....patience and prudence

Might I suggest also, as genres here, humility and tolerance?
....l have to say l do the same upon supposition of choosing to not despise another when considering their faultlessness in arriving in undesirable circumstances...thus subjectively becoming of a ‘lower,‘ or unpopular nature or disposition...it’s almost as if, if it isn’t in your nature to not judge, you’d have a tough time comprehending how others don’t naturally do it.
I found this thought-provoking....good to see ya back around bud

Holy cow, I love your style!
This is like Ginsberg and Eliot rolled into one and yet with flair all its own.
Superb poetry by a professional - awesome reading!

ah yes, a true state of unfetteredness....I perceive you may be alluding to the attainment of christ-consciousness - the surrender of ego and even thought...
and if you weren't, my apologies for the misinterpretation.

I thought you would like it based on the similarities and compatible theme between the two! I think you outdid me though with your more descriptive wording but l appreciate your reaction and kindness!

YES! YES! You came along with this shortly after I submitted my poem, "I Still See You (Dad)" which mirrors the theme here but on a more individual level. Feel free to check it out - but I love yours and is exactly how I feel!

That they were. I think the band may have brought the term out of an early retirement.

Intriguing poet you are Charles. There is almost a comedic sarcasm infused here and yet, to me, it's almost as though this wouldn't be out of place amongst the classical poets.

Almost seems like this could be synthesized to become an alma mater for a school or college. Not sure how I missed this one but it hits on all cylinders...

Forgive me for bashfully admitting to my intention of meeting my incentivized comment quota but l also felt the need to drop some feedback on my friend (who l believe to be adept and accomplished at this poetry thing), so l’m killing two birds with one stone.

This poem definitely can be taken and interpreted a multitude of ways but, in the end, it cuts to the quick of what hope is about. These types of poems should be drawn on for strengthening this very thing. “Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things and no good thing ever dies.”

Thank you Sue!
