It’s happy , very early Saturday for me , and these just made it better. Loved No. 1 , creates an image of poetry like word Bonsai , needing vision ,  patience and skill  , then it just is perfect and complete .

thanks for reading and for your comments.  really sometimes if you're very lucky you wake up and a poem is sitting there written ... or you get an idea and it's there ... but often, more often than not, you write it ... leave it, prune it ... leave it.. rearrange it ... prune it again .. and then it's ready.  Thanks again for your support xoxo

Holy wow. No. 3 is brilliant. One of the best poems I have read.

 

4 and "Regretless" are also super strong. Reading these makes me think how each day we fail to focus on bring something artistic into the world will be a day forgotten. You have not lost any days with these poems!   

i came back to this because i missed something. It was this:  "Each day we fail to focus on bringing something artistic into the world will be a day forgotten." -AC Benus, this is a wonderful thing, and right to my thinking too.

They are all magnificent but number 1 is a bit different. You view yourself from the outside here, and not only yourself - it's written from a more general perspective. Those alliterations, the rhythm (and changes in the rhythm) - wow! This is such a classic! A melody celebrating the wordsmith
