Comment from BOO ghost
BOO's favorite quatrain. maybe I'm the moon
in love with the shimmer
of starlight dancing
on your face
maybe it is cold
and your embrace
seems warm
and encompassing of space
BOO-tastic!

May work on that free verse. Like the picture. A million thoughts and stars flash through my mind as I gaze at the picture. I don't post on fanstory anymore but this will be the exception. I can squeeze one in as I write my secret novel.
Comment from Kerry Foley
Michael this is such a beautiful poem you've penned on this picture challenge.
I love this verse:
"It's just love
common like white doves at a funeral
and the myth that Heaven floats
cradled above
on feathery gloved clouds"
I love them all. This is a terrific club you started. I'm happy to be a part of it, Thanks:) ~Kerry

Comment from ExperiencingLiphe
Probably my favorite part of this was when you said you're a rock in need of understanding. Sometimes, I too, feel like this. It's crazy how one picture can conjure up so many different poems. I love it. Great job

Comment from Wabigoon
Mihael--
I like this one better than the last. Have a lot of thoughts about it. First, that I don't take it literally. Second is I hate the purple...poesy despite your mention of purple. This needs to be black and stark and, dammit, I think it needs several question marks despite your lack of punctuation with which I am in agreement. You need them there not as officially grammarian punctuation but as aids to the reader -- in my opinion. For me, the purple color of the words just make this...purple prose-esque and I don't think that is what you mean. Seems to me you attempt to use all the bells and whistles here when you don't need to. You want the bare fucking emotions. Catch 22 suggest herself -- the absolute bareness of her efforts, I... like that.
Thanks

Agree on the purpleness of it all. AND I could do worse than emulating Catch. The punctuation is a problem though. If I put the question marks in their PROPER positions, they'll seem out of place I think AND I'll feel the urge to add the rest of the punctuation too. I'll consider it though. I'll consider the bells and whistles as well, though I think the flow and ease of read are important too.
Great suggestions and a super thoughtful review with much insight. Most appreciated. mike
Comment from Meia (MESAYERS)
I might have a go at the free versers club It used to be the main form I wrote in twenty years ago at uni but now I tend to write my own sort of half rhyming half free verse stuff, you are very talented and inspire me to try more free verse again well done kind regards Meia x

Hi, Meia
I think you'd enjoy our little enterprise. It's brand new so we don't exactly know what we're doing. BUT, it's low key and no one is obligated to do anything. You're welcome to join and just look around, check out discussions and join in when it suits you. If you see a challenge that intrigues, then jump in. :))
I'm so pleased you enjoyed my piece. Thanks a million. Congrats on your POM. Some powerful competition. Well done. mike
Comment from evesayshi
In my opinion, a rather sketchy piece, but the words smoothly flow and drift beautifully into each other in a fluid background, enhancing the complete presentation...

Comment from estory
I loved the form of this poem, it kind of drifts and wafts like ephemeral clouds, images appearing and then disappearing, just melting away, leaving something like an echo calling after. The voice is very melancholy, very romantic really, and it suits this. Here, love is never fully experienced, heaven is an unrealized dream, and we are left only with the rocks of ourselves, cold and hard, aching for the warmth of love. And love is blue, a haze, an abstract, that we can reach for, but never quite grasp. Interesting poem and very well orchestrated. estory

Wow. You are in tune with what I had in mind and THAT is more than I could ever hope for. I love your insights and interpretation. Just lovely. The stars don't hurt a bit either. Thanks a million, mike
Comment from c_lucas
Why do we express anger when others' thought differs with our?
Why do we lower ourselves to feel the emotions they feel?
The Bible tells us to love our enemies, why do we respond to the Devil's ways
And hate a ridicule them, instead of follow Chris Path of forgiveness.

This is very well written.
