Things change in unexpected ways when one is absent. Sometimes, those changes are jarring, hard to deal with. Let's hope that this isn't the case with the vineyard and those living there.

| Stream of Consciousness
|
|
2025-08-25
Stream of consciousness is a very lazy and unsatisfactory form of writing.
The author babbles, leaving readers (if they have the patience) to try to attribute meaning to what's in front them.

An interesting meditation. I especially liked the idea that a door could lead to another hall of doors.
For me, the doors all are open, and I don't notice that I've gone through one until I realize that I I won't be going back.

A few continue to be outraged. Others shrug. They've come to consider it business as usual.

Agreed. The heart news is, well, "heartening.". The little invaders will be repulsed eventually.

This is what we've all witnessed. There's no other word for it except evil.

You know that you are a poet, and you write poetry. Youve established a fairly satisfactory life. Imagine how much worse off you'd be if you knew you were a poet, but you devoted your life to accountancy or logistics.

|
|
2025-07-23
If I work at it, I can remember some of my childhood pleasures. It would be nice to (be able to) revisit them. I also have memories of childhood miseries. I don't have to revisit them. They've remained close at hand.

A considered, sincere response always is appreciated. One which seems mostly intended to draw attention to the commenter isn't.

I used to modify song lyrics for my kids all the time. One example: "When the moon hits your eye, you'll go blind and you'll die." With "America," I replaced "God shed His grace on thee" with "Good sheds don't come for free."

Nicely done. "Rivulet of sound" is a fine description, and, yes, we need the birds.

There's an off-putting tick-tock facility to this poem, as is the case with nearly all British poetry written between 1650 and 1900.
