Well expressed. Favorite stanzas are first and last.
"I stand at the ocean's door and bid the sea rise
I clear space
suitable for writing
a table for pen and paper
a coaster to honor all mothers everywhere
a cup sits to the right honoring all sons"

This one sums it up perfectly:
"I'm a poet
I have dominion over
the universe
know it"

Michael: Well done and congrats to you for the awards! We can let our thoughts wonder and words float onto paper. I like your dolpins leaps and wolfs howl and trees dance. Good images and reflections. Your computer must be steaming with all your stories! Have a blessed Thanksgiving!

Good job, Mikey. I always enjoy your free verse style poetry. Your imagery is strange and reminded me of many album covers "back in the day", like an Elton John cover. (This is a compliment, by the way!) "Wolf in a tree . . ." Delightful.

Very good, Mike. A lot of controversial thoughts here and worthy of writing about. Makes one think a bit, doesn't it? I don't generally like free verse, but this one has me thinking! :>D Miss Sally

Good job, Mikey, with your free verse about Reflective Thoughts. The presentation works well as you reflect on all your options, especially like that Kelly is on the moon taking a nap. :) And in the end, I like that you take ownership of all your possibilities. You have really blossomed on here, my friend. 8-)

This seems like a nice settling in for the poet to adjust the work area and begin redefining the world in terms of creative importance. I like the reference to moms everywhere with 'a coaster to honor...' them.

Too bad there couldn't be art work. I see a man standing in mid air looking through a door at a table on the other side; a cloud and moon floating with dog napping on it and to the ground the ocean waves gently push upon the sand beneath table. Surreal. Free. Imaginary. You. well written and expressed.

Your poem follows the contest rules splendidly. Yes, a poet is the god of the universes he paints with words. You expressed that very well.
