I will not be the one that wept
while watching the landscape burn
I will not tell you about how I have loved
and been returned
the favor.
I will not bore you with my feelings
I will only suggest a picture for you,
a flower with blue fire
threatening its petals as all else
has abandoned it.
I will offer you the green grass
at dawn
and ask that you see it
clearly.
no, i’d rather fight with myself than with anyone else… i’m a more worthy opponent.
the poem is lame with cliché imagery.
usually … If I’m misunderstood, but feel I’ve been clear… that person is probably always gonna be an effort… great screening device if you can choose to not let it bother you… had plenty of practice…. and rarely do I care…love the poem… take me as I am, hey? Good work Bukman…

No , not that said I
where then wither no rain
and be strong,onward the width
of which I doth have
Yet ! To travel amougst the dew,
yonder the desert mighty to be with.
Nay say I.
I have no love.

Wow!
That is two things I need to reflect on before attempting a comment.
The question & the poem, both are powerful in potential meanings for me.

It’s better to brush-stroke
verse instead of
rolling it on.
That is the message I see.

The imagery in this one is extraordinary. If Bukowski were still with us, he could learn from you. Save this one for a February contest. Give it a title.

It is hard sometimes, to see beyond your own nose, but always worth the effort.

In this you have defined yourself as the poet who shows, not tells.
Excellent.

I have fought a good fight and have realized that my biggest critique was myself. I had a good giggle and started to see what others said they see and i saw a whole new me.
Sorry for the repeated words there, they just happened.
Nice picture I see of a wise man–deep thoughts.

A picture says a thousand words, a good artist knows when to quit,
I’ll see or hear, if I am in touch.

That troll is looking for some dick. That`s cause his is ;
Itsy Bitsy

His got cut off

He bumped into "The Troll Hunter"
Who had a large Knife
The whole town laughed
Even his Wife.
He was left all alone
Nothing left to touch.
Went in search for a new one
