well, sir, I'm afraid to ask the meaning of that beautifully written post.
It does sound like the plea of a warrior, but what are you bent against? What is out to get you?
yo fren,
Katharine

I’m struggling with recovery from my accident. I thought I would be better by now. I guess I’m at that age where I don’t bounce back so fast.

ok. I don't know your limitations, physically, but like my daughter tells me all the time, if you don't do your physical therapy exercises you're going to end up with a walker. so, off I go twice a week. but do I do them regularly at home? well... sometimes.

As for being afraid to ask me questions, don't be. I may not answer them, but you are welcome to inquire.
Comment from Marilyn Hamilton
You are really becoming a deep poet. I loved this one with all it's weighty questions. I am pretty sure you will rise like the phoenix because you've already started.

Thank you. You know, it started as a poem about physical pain. It ended up whatever. I hate sounding so severe. It ruins a lot of stuff. Oh well, I know me. That counts.
Comment from patcelaw
When we feel aware of being crushed by the weight of the world and its problems, the best thing that we can do is to step back take a look and see where we can make things better in our own part of the world. Thank you for this lovely poem and the very profound thought that is in it.

Comment from Debi Pick Marquette
Now if you are talking metaphorical, then I may say you do what you see fit.
But if you are talking about yourself, then get your butt up, keep moving and don't let the world get to you. After all, we can make our own destiny if we try hard enough. Face the world with a smile every day, if you're depressed about the condition of the world, do something special to help someone who it really affects and feel good about your self.
Oops, I wasn't preaching, but instead encouraging through rough times to fight back and always do our best to conquer back.
Great job on this one. Love, Debi

Lol. I'll tell you what someone told me. Critique the writing, not the message. They don't understand that everything about your piece is in review. The message is part of it and how it is perceived or received is important. Thank you very much for the encouragement. But it's just a bad piece of writing.
-
Hahaha, it's just like you to say something funny like that. But I disagree; it made me think about something and inspired a poem I am writing today. Thanks for an idea to use. It won't be obvious to anyone but you though.
-
lol
-
You inspired the poem I just posted. If you do check it out, make sure you look at the notes to see the strict directions for this one.

Okay lol
Comment from Kirsten Shonle
I absolutely loved the imagery in this poem. There were so many great lines. The darkness was there with a bird clawing out your eyes, but the end provided hope. I enjoyed reading your poem.

Comment from Cecilia A Heiskary
Eean,
This is a great poem and it ask some pretty deep questions. I have decided that you are part of the twisted sista club. We are making you one of the twisted brotha's.
Well done

Just watch what you twist; some of this brother's parts might just fall off. That would be an awkward greeting. Hi Eean, how are yo...uh oh. Cecilia be tryin to hide it in a flower pot. Worse is that moment at the end of the evening when I have to ask, "Has anybody seen my junk?" The cool part is that it would be the only time in my life that I have asked that and meant it. LOL
-
You are funny my friend. I thought most men held on to their junk so no one would steal it. Ha, Ha.
-
lol just the city boys.
Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
Spoiling us again with your classical references, Eean! Wasn't it Icarus who flew too close to the sun? Whatever the case, your sentiments speak of failure or despair, which couldn't possibly apply to you. My favourite is that wonderful sentence of blackbirds plucking out eyes for a witch('s) cauldron. Now you're talking:) Well done! Debbie

Thanks for the correction. I notice you are the only one stirring the pot. Bending the truth a little, maybe?
Comment from Michael Ludwinder
Your poem is so enjoyable to read. Your word choices are perfect. I love how it builds. Questioning fate before soaring into that final stanza. It's such an intense read! Well done - keep writing.

Comment from Tim Margetts
Have I missed some work or has it indeed been a while, Eean?
I like this, it reads like a collage of mythic and symbolic imagery, tied together by some introspective crisis and search for rebirth. Not one myth, but a tapestry of several.
Allusions to Daniel's dream of a statue with feet of crumbling iron and clay; the Colossus of Rhodes, and Shakespeare's witches from Macbeth.
It is indeed a wonderful concoction.

All correct, as always, but I thought it was a little clunky. I realized I have neglected to become a fan. I'll correct that. Thank you.
-
It is clunky, but it is also original and interesting, that is how I rated it.
Also, poetry doesn't need to be lyrical so this fits more into the less formal styles.

Cool. Thanks.
