Lovely writing, Michael. I think there is more to this poem than my mind has yet been able to grasp, but I understand enough to see that you have great admiration for Spiritual Echo, and for good reason. She is a marvelous writer and a woman of great courage. I've been reading her book too. I think she will appreciate your kind gesture, and from henceforth you will be known, in the King's court, as the kind jester. ;D

Hi Teresa...well I write with bi-folds standing on my head and I neither need the bi-folcles or the blood rush...but its habit....haha...how are you Dear...? well thank you she hasn't read me openly since 2012 so....I think she feels the same you do...but I do try in my own humble way to acknowledge and encourage the movement of women. Are you reading her book...its about you...-smile- love Michael
Comment from poetadeu
Really like your first and last stanza. Still
thinking on it. Not sure about it's meaning
and maybe that's a sign that I should say
mum. Could be that a man has to get off
his duff and dive right in. Make a move,
like in mountains. I always come away a
little baffled, but older isn't always wiser.
Thanks for confusing me further...

I'm not pursing her...I'm promoting her. Because I honestly believe she talented enough to make it...and legitimize this place...and all of us at the same time. -smile-....she's turned me down several times Joyce....its got to be bigger than that....love-

Confidence is the key. Keep up the
good work...LOL

Comment from Wabigoon
Reconciled--
Nice line:
kings against dumb blonds
wish I could say I think you match it with the rest of the poem, but don't.
You've really go to be good to make this work and so far I don't see it.
I mean you really have to be good.
Work harder at it.
Nice try

Comment from GregoryCody
kings against dumb blonds
makes a meal MacDonald's fast
food for thought starves
Man that's a strong open! Thought starve great assonance
chest beating mean it
telepaths your stands chance
sit back down stares audience
Assonance in beat mean, wow second line is AMAZING!
audacious as eyes fearless of the suns strength
her gathering rises in brightest notice
stone unsure except must moves mountains
Nice consonance in sh. Missing apostrophe in (sun's)
And should it be move or moves. Singular I think.
giant costumed mustered seed
grows into her clothes
when under stood...
I can't figure this out! I've read it four times! Tell me...
silent prayer said Saint Teresa have mercy on souls
captured in Spiritual Echo's
HUGE!
rapture into mankind's world
kings against dumb blonds
makes a meal McDonald's fast
food for thought once...before
Very strong close. Nice alliteration. Is this about a date or a meal with a woman? You are the king, superior intellectually, and she is a dumb blonde? I can't figure it out.
WELL DESERVED. Great punching flow.

Hey Man....-smile- Love your new photo...very happy for you Greg. um...no "moves" as in a ah no choice acceptable anyway...determination. Ah you'd have to read the book...her telling of the times and her personal struggle-story...to really understand I guess. I know now from reading it that there was a time when woman were second class citizens...and no matter there strengths in certain areas...they were not not recognized or rewarded with equal pay...until "under" stood....and made herself indispensable then demanded more...no no no...I'm in enough trouble dude...no dumb blond. Go read her book "ball busters" you'll understand....thanks Bro.....love Michael
-
Hahaha your response made me laugh. I'm sorry, I was trying to find the meaning. And wow that sounds like a good book. Shoot, did I miss your authors notes?
-
she told me once if I have to spell it out...its not worth the effort...as you can see our relationship has been one of exasperation.......put that in the author notes...-wink-

Wink indeed!
Comment from Joan E.
Welcome back from your mid-summer break--I hope all is well. Your poem saluting "Ingrid" of the "audacious eyes" seems to indicate so! I like the way the "muserted seed" (great wordplay) is transformed into "her clothes" and the repeat of the first stanza brings us full circle. Spiritual Echo must be delighted to be the subject of your tribute. Hugs- Joan

Oh I don't know...she's been lil' moody lately. Hey J...-smile-
yea I been reading a book...where are you Joan...? which hemisphere Dear...? haha...really are you guys home now...? Did you bring me some ice cubes....love Michael
-
I'm sure your poem was a pick-me-up--it inspired me to check her posts and read the imaginative short story that won her the contest. I am home after the Norway to Iceland adventure (I plan to post about Iceland tomorrow but I'm sorry you'll find no ice cubes!) and still on break from classes--leading the life of leisure- ha, ha! Hope work and summer are satisfying. Take good care of yourself. More hugs- Joan
-
ah I love you anyway...-wink-...yea she don't like me much...but she's a hell of a writer...and woman. Alright i'll catch you tomorrow with my warm soda...love-
-
I agree that she's a good writer, but I cannot understand why she doesn't like you. Your poem inspired me to check out her posts while I was away, and I read the one that one the short story contest about being snagged (and worse!) by travel security guards. Smiles- Joan
-
She loves me....she just tries hard not to show it. And I keep irritating her.....us know dreaming about me and stuff....smile
-
Oh, that makes more sense--your needling keeps her on her toes! Sweet dreams to all three of us!! -Joan
-
Bear squeeze back at you
-
Did you hear about the bears in California that come out of the forest this time of the year, especially since we're in a four-year drought, to play in pools and
hot tubs. A dripping squeeze back- Joan
-
Be careful kid some bears are grizzly.....love
-
I like your double entendre! Not to worry though--no more grizzlies in California. -Joan

I thought this was a creative poem. Excellent job of sharing a message with wonderful word choices. Very creative, especially the McDonald's stanza! Well done.
