The second last stanza was an absolute stand out. Round of applause. Your entire poem eludes to a renewal or an operation to remove a sign of aging perhaps. The restoration of sight? A cataract removal? It reminds me of the time I underwent LASIK eye surgery to restore my myopia. I was in absolute wonderment and joy at the colours of the world around me. Exquisite. J

Hello, Easy,

A very profound poem. There can be a few interpretations some disturbing. You have a masterful way with words and how you use them.

Well done.

This poem gives me the feeling someone has been hurt badly and is in a downward spiral... Until they find a place of peace and rest within their soul. Is this correct? I loved the poem. Beautifully written.

When one opens oneself to understanding, a profound amount of enlightenment can and will pour down upon that one and he becomes a learned individual. Unshakable in his ability to walk the Earth as nobility. I love your wonderful and exquisite use of language, the wonderful way you manipulate words to form and express lucid thoughts. You sir, are quite good at your craft.

There is a lot in this poem, EE, that is deeper than we first think. I could take your words to many places, some I don't wish them to go. Your use of words are stunning. I just wish I didn't have this feeling of losing you, your voice on here. Well done, my friend. :)) Sandra xx

Such a way with words and such a vocabulary, easy. (How easy is it, I wonder, to tap this flow of words?) What more can I say? Does your cat, like mine, want to walk on your keyboard? Au revoir, Master,
your admirer,

I read this poem following the reading and reviewing of one about starvation in Stalinist Russia. Americans living in the past 100 years have had an unequaled experience of prosperity and security despite having expended millions of lives in the pursuit of L, L, and H. It is our civilization that provides us with the environment of advancement. Civilization has always been at the core of reflection and communication, and the effort to make sense of an existence simultaneously so wonderful and cruel.

easyeverett1,

This is another masterclass in writing powerful rhyme. You are a poet of high standing. Each of your postings are great examples to all who wish to learn to master this basic form.

Cheers,

Eugene
