There are so many ideas in this fantastic poem, I feel I must read it through again, so I don't miss anything. I like how much joy is in this, especially about writing...I feel the same way. Thanks so much for sharing. :)

I was carried, by your words, right to the end of this poem. With my short attention span, low boredom threshold and rat-in-a-trap mind, that is no small feat. Thank you.

You have written a really interesting poem here, the word play is amazing. One part really stood out for me, the point on choice....
"If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice"
That is so true. Choice comes into everything we do, or don't do. As with the rest of your poem, it's your journey and you chose to be free! I enjoyed reading this. Well done. :)) Sandra xx

This poem is spectacular and deserves multiple readings, because it is so jam-packed with concepts of maturity, faith, self-identity, creativity and on and on. You are such a precise writer that I hesitate to ask, but in the following lines, did you really mean "feet" as a reference to poetry, or "feat" as a skilled accomplishment? Both?

a neat feet of

    You are most welcome. I was really moved by the introspection of the poem. Yet it was in no way egotistical. I hope others "get" at least some of it. I also caught some multiple meanings in the shape of your poem near the end. I saw both a human and a phallus, but not in a raunchy way.

I don't think you missed any words in the English language.
Or any philosophical ideas.
Or any badgers.
Jokes aside
You flow ideally and ideologically.
Without blemish.
A few contortions.
But an hour later.
Conclusion
I don't like long poems.
Unlike my daughters who declares forcefully.
I don't like poems at all.
So i say
Ok
Let me read you this review instead. :-))Z.
No not this one.

Masterful wordplay and alliteration. I lost ccccccount amidst the word weaving. Wry bit re our euphemistic middle-age. Most of us expect to live to 130 at least. Cheers. LIZ

Hello,

I don't know if you remember me. We met in Sacramento at a park near my house. I don't live in Sacramento anymore. I moved to Pasadena.

I like your poem and also Basho's haiku in your author notes. It's beautiful.

    And if you'd like I'll even start it it'll go like this, I met a man a fascinating poet now we understand the tacit points of know it a rich deep vein of fellowship runs through this creative space and if I want to give you some advice, fellow, lay down your chips because it's the Apocalypse. How's that from shooting right from the hip?

I like your poem very much: the use of alliteration, and suffix rhymes. I love your direct connection with your readers, that's rare and effective! I just have one critique, in that it seems a little long in length. But I am used to shorter poetry. So it just may be my taste. Good work! Good luck in the contest!

    I liked everything about your poem. A lot of people like long poems, some people like shorter ones. It?s just a matter of taste. Good work. Good luck.

This is definitely a philosophical, poetic mouthful! It would be neat to hear this read aloud by the writer. My favorite lines might be: Downright wretched at times
as I etch my rhymes
which does, of course, describe the writing process more often than we want to admit. Interesting form. Sounds like 'dangling dainties' attract this writer, the same as the reader. Nice share.
