    The Carpenter

    It’s fun knowing this unconventional sonnet was a treat. The treat for me is that the recording was okay to your ear. Thank you very much for reading and commenting.

    The Carpenter

    Recordings never sound like my own voice to me, so it’s hard for me to judge if they’re okay. Thank you very much for reading and listening!

    The Carpenter

    Indeed. If I want to be found, it’s sometimes best just to wait patiently for someone who knows who he’s looking for. Thanks very much for your thoughts!

    Thank you! I had fun putting these lines together.
  7. The carpenter knows where the basswood grows as the jay is aware of the berry, while the monarch goes where the wild red rose decks the meadow in finery merry, and hungry black bears leave their crude affairs in a quest for delectable sweetness scented soft in airs to take unawares chosen noses which know incompleteness. But anywhere I, searching low and high, seek that visage my spirit sustaining, find all hopes awry while these smiles belie

    I enjoyed reading this chapter. With each one, you build more and more of a fascinating world.

    Chapter 3 Bean

    Jubal is better off now than two chapters back. Now if he could just get things to calm down a bit, so he can get himself established… but that’s not in the cards, is it?
  10. Perry has the right idea: Kyan and Perry’s friendship, their multifaceted connections, are most important. Good for him for recognizing this. If only he’d said something about it sooner.
  11. Welcome! Enjoy browsing authors and genres. You’re sure to find something that suits you.

    Tinnitus

    You're right that I was initially stunned. Thank you for your most kind words. So much of what we know and experience about ourselves, tinnitus included, echoes in the background of our lives. Sometimes these cannot be ignored, at other times, they are simply woven into the fabric of our existence. I am so glad that this poem spoke deeply to you.
  13. A quick, lethal gunfight cements a kind of partnership between Jubal and Lucas. I fear for their future. Somewhere out there is a bandit thirsting for revenge.

    Thank you so much for reading! Your comment made me glad that this might have worked for you.

    Tinnitus

    I’ve never observed what amplifies or dulls the sound level. I’m fascinated that sugar can do this for you. Now I’m going to have to pay attention! Thank you so much for your reactions and for reading.

    Tinnitus

    Thank you for your thoughts on this. It’s hard to describe such an intensely personal and yet continuous experience. I’m glad it can speak to you too.

    Tinnitus

    You made me smile to read this. That this touched your soul will reverberate in mine for a long time. I confess to feeling like a tightrope walker without a net when I write unstructured poems; your comment makes me feel like Wallenda over Niagara Falls. Thank you.
  18. So, chances for two men to make a turn in their fortunes. What will be next?
  19. Thank you, Gary. We both enjoy a good climb in the woods.

    Tinnitus

    Free, unstructured poems leave me uneasy as I write. I was unsure if this poem worked. Thank you for affirming that this was a successful experiment.
  21. It’s excellent that you find these agreeable. If they connect to you, then I’m happy. Thanks for reading and commenting.
  22. You’re so good to comment on this. I hope this poem got your feet and hips to move, if only a little.

    Explorers

    Thank you very much for your kind and perceptive comments. You’ve read this sonnet indeed as I wrote it. You’re very good to read and leave your thoughts.

    Tinnitus

    I’m glad you could connect with this poem, as you might experience these sensory changes as I have. Thanks so much for your thoughts and comments.
  25. Tinnitus With the phoebes fledged, their parents pack their bags for a long trip south, I’m alone again with the ringing in my ears, that eternal music which suffocates every solemn silence and colors soft southern zephyrs carrying suggestions of rain and the implication of thunder on dusty ozone-tanned arms; There are mathematical abstractions for them all, every harmony formed by the stillness of green leaves,
