Read MoreSome poems seem to writethemselves;I just move the pen.Others are like lumpsof clay;they refuse to be molded;they need moisture and time.This one is likea robin that just learnedto use its wings.It heads west, on agentle breeze, intoa tangerine sky.

It flew though! Mine often slam into trees at least once. I love the way you gave the pen over & let it go

I agree with you, Thomas…that some poems actually write themselves, especially the ending, which I find to be quite surprising when the moment offers itself to me. I especially loved the eloquence and poetic nature of a “tangerine sky”. Wow, now why haven’t I ever thought of that? Good to have another transplant from the WC at the helm. Good seeing you, Thomas!

Sorrowfully beautiful. Truly artistry in language that flows all the way until the end. You have a talent with words that is exquisite even in its sorrow. Fine art here, my friend.

Read MorePast pulses as a broken metronome syncopation of that which is ‘ere, o’er and true Trombone tomb stone, for whom the bells toll may love have been louder than bombs Can you hear colours of every drumbeat feel maudlin mandolins opening your skin?

Beautiful. Music can take us anywhere even in the wrong direction. Myself, I love the cello and the sound of a weeping violin.

Many thanks A. Measured out my life with song. The cello straddling a piano is deliciously sad’som

Thomas this speaks to me of deep abiding beauty in a timeless land. The imagery of the robin just learning to use its wings taking flight on the Western wind is just sublime. Loved reading this tonight.
