Great presentation of your poem
good pairing of strolling and strutting
I love the passage with the march of the fish to dry land
good alliteration in phrases like meeting molecules
this has such a great spirit to it :-) Brooke

Comment from ravenblack
Wow! This reminds me of that Police song, "da do do do..." I don't remember it, but the gist is that a simple, nonsensical melody is all important as it unifies...And my train of thought on that song just flew off the tracks. The water is connection, the source of life, the all and you walk the tunnel, really an artificial membrane separating you from the water, a bit out of sync but still able to see. And la di da- insight to connection rushes in , a necessary drowning that, when in sync, you can summon at will. Just not all the time, hence the tunnel walls. And then it comes-the humble yet arrogant la de da. Like the dr ift of drift and drop of drop. Very inventive piece. Enlightening and cocky ( and a bit scared)....Sixer!

So awesome. I was really afraid to post this. I could just feel the "I don't get it" reviews pouring in. But, this would have made it totally worth it. I am out of sync a lot. But, I can get in sync sometimes at will. Maybe usually and I am lazy about it. that is probably more like it. I actually haven't received a bad review on this. cool. Great review. Happy as a poet with a great review, he said metaphorically. mikey

I think you have written a great poem Mikey. I often feel like you do - like I'm not connecting with or where I'm supposed to - drifting through life, disconnected.

It is funny, but I feel more connected here than I ever have anywhere else. A little world of crazy poets. What could be better. mikey

and I'm just screaming now
filling the tunnel with some kind of
echoing screeching wail of sorrow
and I'm falling apart
cell by cell
and the tunnel is collapsing
molecule by m o l e c u l e
and the water I surmised
This part to is amazing, read your poems over and over, and you will discover so many cells living in you, that needs to surface.
Take care loved this poem, it touched my heart very deeply. hugs Terry xxx How I wish I had a six........next time......

I am so very happy you liked this one. Very long and I was a little afraid that people would not get it maybe. But, they seem to understand it pretty well. Your words are worth more than any six mum, mikey

Pretty much all of that is in there and more. Really just poured out of my head. Creation, birth, connecting with each other, God, everything really. I'm always afraid to post something like that because I can't exactly explain it completely. But, it is meant to get a response that is personal like yours. So, thank you very much. Much better than "I don't get it" of "You are crazy, this is weird" hahaha!! mikey

Yes we get some good reviews( NOT) some just have no idea,,, it was amazingly do you mind if I keep it as a favourite,, I like to keep special poems that means so much to from my poet friends,, that is if you don't mind,, well I sure saw creation ,,hugs sue

of course, the idea that you would want to take a second look is an honor. thank you

Thank you Micky will book case it now,,,sue

Did you originally wrote this as a song? It really makes you think a bit, like a good poem should. That is good work my friend.

A song? No. But, that might be next now that you mention it. I have put stranger pieces to music. Glad you liked it. Thank you, mikey
