Such powerful words, that show many emotions. Great work tim x

You've made me rethink my opinion of poetry tim. Your words and the way you can so eloquently portray your emotions has opened my eyes and my heart to this form of expression. Thank you for showing me how beautiful poetry can be. 

You have a true gift. Thanks for sharing. 

your words touch me deeply

💛

wish there was something more that i could do

I am taken first to the garden; indeed, my irises need dividing. In fact, the whole garden must be dug up. It’s a hard thing to learn. You make me feel the weariness, the bone-ache of just wanting to let things be. Yet I also feel the warm breath of sun and hope.

tim, your words bring about such powerful feeling .

I was feeling kind of sad and hopeless reading them, and then on a dime, my thoughts turned to smiles and a feeling of “yes!” and relief. There is something (very) good behind the clouds that lifted. 

As always tim, you make me see and feel with your words. Nicely done.  

thanks, Reader.  i have been struggling lately and we don't know why ... meds, maybe, not sleeping, defo.  i got up and wrote a little today. i can feel words building up inside of me.. but they are a whirlpool... a vortex where they appear on the surface but are sucked to the bottom for unknown periods of time.  Like the whirlpool at Niagara.  that place both frightens and fascinates me.

i'm glad you ended up smiling ...

Another great addition Tim.  You have a astonishing ability to put thoughts together that paint the picture!!

I think we are ALL struggling somewhat with this chaos we're living with.  Most of us are social beings and isolation takes a toll on everyone in some form or another  -  and to some  -  a greater degree!  Take care my friend!

Poetry is like art.  Writing is an art, but poetry is closer to painting or sculpture than is prose.   You like some, you don't like others. That's fair. I don't like all poetry and i'm a poet.  People often worry about what the writer means, frankly what i meant when i wrote it matters only to me.  It's what you feel or see when you read something that matters.

Sometimes it takes me a few hours or days until a poem's meaning is revealed to me. I need to let the words settle in my head.

You won't like it all, but don't be afraid to try it.  It's not fattening at least!!

Thanks for you thoughtful words. They made me smile today xoxxo

I remember - not when, but that you did - when you said this to me. It was if a light had been turned on. Before that day, poetry had always been presented as the artist’s interpretation of the words. My job was to figure out what that interpretation was. 

Giving me “permission” to interpret the words as I saw fit freed me to see the wonder and joy in poetry. A great gift that was, young tim.  

Sometimes meanings are clear, sometimes they are not. People who want to write what they think  a poem means,  can, but i've written what i feel or see. Because it is mine to do that with.  Once it's posted and you read it ... it is yours. That you see or feel differently to me, or other readers doesn't make my work less.. in fact it is more and that is the beauty of art.

i said this to @Wayne Gray earlier on .... i am the porg ..(poetryborg cube)  I have assimilated another!!!  ( @kbois   hahaaha

"You will be thoughtful. The porg will enlighten you. You will appreciate the gifts of the porg."  (wayne said this...hahhaa)

You are the second person today who told me that I made them smile, so I consider the day a success. 

I'm either going to be enlightened or brainwashed, but thankfully can't gain a few pounds from it.....hmmmmm🤔🤣

There are definitely worse fates. 

Next time the "shit" in my head spins around like a tornado, I'll try following your lead and see if I can channel it into some kind of fertilizer and try my hand at poetry.

Your words have settled nicely and I'm positive it will get better from here on out. 

You're a good soul tim. xo
