RE: Still More, Good Old Days!
I liked the second meme - Was watching an old Hitchcock film, Vertigo, and was struck by the women's fashions of the 60's - so classy and feminine - I suppose we've become casual/sloppy - maybe because

RE: Noticed
An intriguing personal anecdote, Arthur - I'd like to read that poem. As for steemit comments and feedback, I hear you - that aspect of the community is definitely lacking and the recent decision to diminish

RE: Noticed
Thank you, Arthur, and as usual you're right. This one's a bit abstruse - a result of my studies in Quantum Physics - the phenomenon of quantum particles being entangled and mirroring the other regardless

RE: Girlfriend Electric Part 2
Yes, I get the problem of being stuck - I've written a lot about being frozen and men of stone and it's not always the fault of a Medusa :)

RE: Writer's Remorse
You picked up on the fact it's written to a character I created - often times readers miss either the literal meaning or the subtext - as for allusions, that's a whole other matter, lol. Thanks, Arthur

RE: Explanation
Well, I think I know the artist and can reassure you that it was only his peculiar temperament. He didn't want feedback from the community but really only wanted to post his work. When I tried to engage

RE: Explanation
Thanks Arthur, for your response. It's a pathetic fallacy, this business of nature mirroring our moods. Sometimes are passions burst forth like a torrent of spring rain and we scatter words but it's all

RE: Memory
that last observation sums up the essence of poetry to me - it's not simply a communication of ideas but a re-creation of the experience so the reader can share in it too

RE: Memory
the poem lends itself to that interpretation too, but with me, I never fully embrace an emotion at the time but find it keeps growing afterwards in memory

RE: Late Friday Funnies!
Love the second meme - Bill Murray is an American folk hero akin to Will Rogers - common sense is all too uncommon nowadays

RE: Biker Girl ...Two Wheels Move the Soul
It's amazing the synchronicity of what the little boy in the story discovered about poetic experience and what I wrote. I once said that it is paying attention to life when all the rest of the world is

RE: In the Good Old Days!
That last meme made me laugh - my son bought me a mini drone for my birthday - I've been secretly flying it so I can get in some practice before people think I'm a dweeb because of my lack of technical

RE: Mirage ...Part 2 ...The Unreality of Dreams
Yes, I agree...these characters are a wayward lot - slow to learn and rebellious... they seem to like hanging around me for some reason though - perhaps to teach me a lesson?
