Artificial Intelligence

I agree, though I do (perhaps naively) hope that AI will help us cure some diseases and provide better solutions for our problems. That being said, I try really hard not be become a ''screen-starer.'' Thanks for posting.


Perhaps a China Berry Tree

Thanks for your gracious feedback. It means a lot to me.


In with the in crowd

I used to think happiness was a Place. But then I read T. S. Eliot:
“We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time...''

The Place for me is my childhood home. I lived in NYC for years and all the decibels so aptly referred to in this cool poem were deafening my senses. Thanks for posting.


unfinished interlude

Stunning images. Skillfully executed.


Why can't I keep my mouth shut?

Nice rhyming scheme that seems unforced and natural. You express yourself well in your poetry.


First Love

An under appreciated Romantic. Tightly composed with striking images.


Sacred Intersections

It does seem that things extremely intense often burn themselves out. We meet influential people--some stay; some go. I enjoyed your poem.


WORDS

2025-07-16
Enjoying the end-rhymes interspersed throughout the poem. Analogy of the white-space in contrast to the words on the page and the comparison of the poet to a jeweler, as craftsman, is effective and holds your poem together to the end.


POETRY DISPLACEMENT

2025-07-16
I love the cadence and rhyme of ''There's no rewind on a poetry mind.'' Seems to me you still have one--a poetry mind, that is.


Frames

Impressive vignette. Progresses rapidly down the page, drawing the reader into the actions and observations of two creative people and their reaction to one another and to their craft.


In a Desolate Landscape

Compelling images, especially ''a lone sharp star.''


Peace In The Rain

Skilled structuring. Nice rhyme scheme. I'm partial to rainy days, so always gravitate to poems about it. Nice work.
