Well, Thank you, Thomas. Superb, huh? Tremendous, too? Two out of three words that are pretty damn good. I don’t know about that third one, though. That’s one word I kind of like to avoid. But I sure do thank you for the other ones. You know, of course, that there’s a version with words, too. Just in case you might want to read it sometime. Hmmm, I think I’ll start adding a link to the text versions of these audio versions, just in case some folks might want to take their time.
Thanks again, Thomas,
FD/K

Chère F.,
Pollution in its mildest form.
An environmental poem in disguise.
See? That’s the fun of it. To write something small and everyone had his/her own ideas about it.
Pure genius, no matter how you look at it.Keep ‘em coming please…..
Warmest regards, Gus -

“my hands return first
those traitor creators of sound
those makers of chords and noise
now tremblin like loose strings”Powerfully penned, 253. Excellent write with killer imagery my friend. Loved the lines above, and that ending verse drove it home. Nicely done. Appreciate you.

“proof that anythin divine
never leaves
without takin somethin with it”Shit that hits hard with fact

Sheer brilliance, Syr 253👌
You’ve mastered the heartbeat techniques of Free Verse poetry: Imagery, deeply gripping emotion, metaphor, seamless enjambment, syntax; and, except for the distraction of missing “g’s”, your diction and spellbinding flow would be irresistibly captivating to the senses.
“my knees crack
my heart misfires
and my body folds inward
as the light drains out
leavin a thin line of heat
hidin under my ribs
proof that anythin divine
never leaves
without takin somethin with it”Phew, Poet! Now, that’s how a pen’s supposed to dance….
Perfect title, too.Good stuff, I’ve said enough … except, a grateful “Thanks!” ⁓ Richard🖌

much appreciated. glad ya liked the title. I was bouncin back and forth between two.
won’t be addin the Gs in tho. I understand why it’s asked of me but…let’s call it my “poetic voice”. it’s how I speak. it’s not carelessness…it’s cadence. it’s rhythm. it’s intentionally informal. keeps my poetry movin. walking feels like a chore…performin a task. walkin feels like motion. and I get where you’re comin from. it’s sloppy. it’s unpolished. looks lazy as fuck. but that’s the point. it’s meant to move. it’s meant to feel lived in. meant to read like it’s spillin out faster than you can take a breath. it’s meant to trip and scrape and bleed. it’s meant to be messy and alive. it’s meant to be human. it’s meant to be me.

Well,
I think you might be able to imagine how us English Lit Grads/Poetry Teacher types are in our heads, eh?
Anally blessed (or, cursed) … LOL!Sincerely, I love your uniquely original brand of 253 poetry. 👍
