just like water off a ducks back.

Life sometimes slaps you in order to start your engine running.

I love the imagery and the sentiment of this beautifully written poem.


The Jade Plant

2024-01-28
You have brought into the room and made me love the jade plant, the table, the pine tree, the lights, the rug, the planks, the beautiful bay window, the summer porch, and the woman who cared for them all. I think I could dream of this room as if I lived there and played out in the yard. Now, I miss them, and I have a sadness for what once was and the longing for times gone by.

I have been absent from Poetbay for almost a year. I've missed my friends and their poetry. I'm happy to find you here and read such a lovely piece from you, as is your way.


THE TIME HAS COME?

2024-01-27
It is a crazy mixed up world. There are lots of words being fired off from lots of different people with opposing ideas from all walks of life. Somewhere amongst those words there will be lies, truths, and a mixture of both. I say write your thoughts, express your cares and concerns, and profess your opinions. The time has come.


WORDS & ALL

I know the truth when I read it. Sometimes I just, I just give applause!


MNEMONIC MIND

I loved reading this. I like the sound and its flow. Also, I enjoy the visuals and the your expression of thought. It’s lovely.


Ashes

Lots of warm and wise musings from a cold ash fireplace.
Truly thought provoking.


Hey moon

I sure enjoyed reading your poem. I love the imagery and appreciate the feelings it invokes.


He Entered the Room

2023-02-24
That guy enters a lot of rooms and never the same way twice.
I enjoyed this very much.
I’m still visualizing each entrance and
thinking about my next venture along the hallways of life. 😄

Your words fall, like a white sheet on a brisk day, capturing a cloud within its billow.

At least that’s how I see it.
It’s a very nice feeling.
It’s good to read you again.


I'll take the rap!

2021-02-18
Tell Fernszy that this old female Yank appreciates poetry no matter the form, especially educational/cultural/historical rhythmic poetry. However, due to my lack of experience in Rap music, I will have to defer the oral reading of this to my 18 year old grandson. He’s much better at this than I. In the meantime, I will go on appreciating your fine selections of words, your clever rhymes, and of course the humor of it all. :)


SNOW & ICE - GONE

2021-02-18
In Central Florida, last Friday and Saturday my family was in the pool. Today, Wednesday, 17th of Feb., it’s raining and much cooler. However, the scent of orange blossoms is in the air.
Your snow has been our rain and fog. I have noticed the greening up of the grass and palm trees. I suppose that’s a sign of Spring here.
Here’s to Spring!

What a powerful picture you’ve created. The truth is both ugly and beautiful, strange and commonplace, dark and brilliant. The poetry is outstanding. I’m deeply touched by it all. Thank you for seeing what so many do not.


Faint Hope Denied Once More

I can feel rhythm and visualize the pendulum swinging.
Waiting for relief.

I haven’t visited for a very long while. Yours is the first I read.
Amazing how few words
Written just so
Create such emotion
Such a physical reaction

That’s Poetry.

Thank you

I love the fun of it. Your son set a great challenge and his mum met the challenge like a champ.

I love the hope in this poem. It opened up the windows and doors to let the fresh air in and the stale air out. My mind was alive with visions of life and love, friendship and kindness. It was a warm sunny. It was Springtime after a very dark, cold winter. Thank you.

Thank you for all you do.

This is delightful. I enjoy all the imagery it evokes as it sparks my senses as well.

I find most of the time, we get out of life what we put in to it.
Your poem tells of your ways, your kindness, your attitude.
I enjoy reading about your life encounters. You’re a good storyteller. Thanks for sharing.


Surrender in love.

A beautiful uplifting poem. Thank you for sharing.


whose thoughts am i thinking

2020-04-21
this is captivating. It causes me to want to stay here and just ponder the possibilities of my own designs or is it desires.
When we create, there are exchanges made from creator to creation, including our thoughts. I suppose.

A very beautiful and moving love poem.


Circling

I seldom do what I’m told so I’m tut-tutting. If this is inadequate, you must be naming the location (Inadequate) of the area you are describing in this beautifully written poetry.

When the perfect combination of the written word creates a spell to spark the mind to perform its magic, anyone can be transplanted anywhere to be and/or to see anyone or anything they allow themselves to imagine.

I said the above because you took me right there to beautiful Inadequate.


THE KINDNES OF A STRANGER

I can just see Holly with her Testco bag walking towards you. I imagine her with a smile on her face and you with a smile on yours. Kindness is best served with a smile. 😊

A beautiful poem. To me it speaks of faith, believing what we cannot prove.


The stillness that you are

This one speaks to my spirit.

Your ability to bring your poetry alive with imagery has me smelling the wonderful aroma of the woods. I love this poem. Plus, I just researched Wallace Stevens and read some of his poetry. Thanks for sharing.

And your poetry took me there for awhile. It is such magic.
Thank you for sharing. It's wonderful.

I love this one.
We've been warned.
Werewolf Kitty is just doing what comes naturally. :)

I like this very much. I see you in my mind's eye the events of the day as you described them. The poetry reveals the writers heart for humanity. ❤️ It is a caring heart. Well done.

This is so very beautiful.


Farewell

2020-01-15
So much sadness but so beautifully written. Sometimes when our hearts are broken they tell our brains how to express the pain we feel in our brokenness. That's how poetry like this one is created.


when i used to get my cards read,

2020-01-15
I really enjoyed reading this. You captured my attention and kept me interested all the way through. It has a very natural and easy flow. I appreciate your gift of writing.

I love this poem. It's message is inspirational. Well done, Lizzy.

well done. I love the strong imagery.


I WRITE I TYPE

2020-01-02
Just keep on doing it, Ken. Writing, creating, expressing, is the poet. Art is amazing in that it reflects the inner most self. It takes courage to set it free and allow others to view it. At least that's my thought on it. :)


POOR HOLE LANE - WHATS IN A NAME 2

Ken, you can certainly tell a story with very few words. However, the words you choose are powerful in description and intense in their ability to create the atmosphere of the time. Thank you for sharing this history through poetry.

This is so beautiful and comforting. I want to wrap myself up in the warmth and welcoming of this cherished imagery and all of the precious ideals the poetry invokes.

There's so much yearning in these words. I don't know the circumstances but I recognize (or should I say feel it) the pain of loss and yearning.


THERE ARE TIMES

2019-12-19
Thinking things through to the logic end is the better way of handling these situations. I'm imagine your wisdom has come through experience. Experience is a great teacher. Listening to the wisdom of others can be helpful as well. Thanks for sharing. 😊

Vivid, haunting, well-crafted.

We want to disconnect from people and the world because we are overwhelmed with society's ills and when we do, somehow we disconnect for ourselves. I guess we are made to commune with one another. Perhaps we should regulate how, who, when, where, and why we do this.

Your poetry is very good. I enjoyed it. It is very thought provoking.


fair warning, marketa

2019-04-02
I'm glad 'they' got away from it all as they rose to the top much like cream and sap. Too bad all of 'them' had to stay below with all the bodily fluids and such. I'm wondering about the warning.

If I'm on the wrong path, I'm sorry.
I've been absent for awhile.

Powerful, intense imagery and emotions. Captivating poetry.


I think I'm...

2019-04-02
Yep! It's all true. Gravity sure does a number on the body. I'm still trying to figure out how I am my mother's age. When did that happen?
