Life is short art is long

Love the second stanza.

Nice

Fucking A this is good.

2026-04-07
The poem's great and all but the way it builds up to the ending line is sublime.

2026-04-07
Ain't that the truth. Sigh.

2026-04-07
Optimistic despite it all! Nice.

La sir, kati pachi tapai lai Poetbay ma dekheko. Ma paila Shuvatara ma padh da tapai le nei garera Poetbay ko barema thapako.

Thank you for sharing the poem and hope all is well with you, sir.

Your gratitude inspires me.

2026-04-07
A painful poem but a joy to read. Thank you for sharing.

2026-04-07
I'd say love's an energy. I'd say I enjoyed this poem as well.

2026-04-07
And despite it all you still write. Powerful.

2026-04-07
A soothing poem with a hint of sorrow. I love it.

2026-04-07
Beautifully composed is an understatement. A masterclass in prosody.

2026-04-07
Your best

2026-04-07
Amen

2026-04-07
My head! Wow.

2026-04-07
Sickening isn't it?

2026-04-07
Amazing poem as usual but this stanza:

Sunbathers reading,
women readying winter bodies
for future sundresses.

Is so fucking goooood. I love it.

2026-04-07
Always a joy to read your pattern poems

2026-04-07
Well this poem went places I never expected! Amazing.

2026-04-07
Haunting. Thank you for writing and sharing it.

2026-04-07
I second Williams' comment.

A most wonderful tanka

2026-04-07
Love love love the rhythm in this one. You say it's free form, and I don't doubt it, but the soul of a poet can never truly let go and latches on to a rhythm. I'm glad to have read it.

2026-04-07
A prayer disguised as instruction. A delightful poem.

2026-04-07
A wonderful rumination, if I may say so myself. Seems you've tapped into the old masters and rung out all the poetic preconceptions since antiquity to write this beautiful lyric.

2026-04-07
Amazing final line.

Amazing poem entirely.

A blessing to read.

Thank you for posting.

See, this is what I love about Poetbay: artists in conversation with each other. I remember a poem you replied to some days back about betting on the day you died and here you've added it into your poem.

Also: It takes me all day/To be spontaneous.

I think this is one of the greatest opening lines in any poem I've read ever.

2026-04-07
he's truly satanic

2026-04-07
A wonderful tribute. I too sometimes go through the old archives. So many poets no longer writing, or at least not posting here, and so many of them so young.

I wonder what happened.

We need young blood here in the bay.

2026-04-07
I wanna be swirling and twirling too.

I love the peaceful imagery of the last stanza

2026-04-07
Same to you!

2026-04-07
Happy Belated Easter to you and yours

2026-04-07
I almost jumped for joy as well. Sigh
