Re: Air
Hi Colm - At first, like Linda, I thought it might be metaphor for our current viral times, especially "now twist and reveal their other side silvered by the disturbance, a rich rejection" But I soon got a sense that this was a moment, one to enjoy for it's simple pure beauty... and it brought me ca...

Re: Isolation
Nicely done, Dylan. A great exploration of our times. For a while one might have thought that Mother Nature had won, but we humans are resilient.... I only hope, a faint hope, that maybe we will have learned a bit? Naw - unlikely.
I enjoy your fluid rhyming style.

Re: Toby, If
Love it - such a difficult reality we are left with. So difficult to try to deal with introvert realities. I like this write, this very to the point short write. Please keep writing..............

Re: Tribes
Colm - what a beautiful and gripping write... and what a touching tale of selflessness. Thanks for the link - I had no idea. Honor goes to the Irish people for not forgetting, living the admonition "Never Forget." And I understand the shedding of a tear or two................

Re: I Thought She Was A Goddess
Wonderful write, difficult write, and tells lots. I go with the thoughts that it is so incredibly sad that one could be lost in the unwinning battle to find one's worth in one's appearance and features, and not give one any value to one's heart and soul... to be so lost to the whims and fancies of ...

Re: A Fish in the Dark
This is beautiful, Linda, and wrenching, awakening. I think Colm speaks volumes about it. So wonderfully well written.

Re: Who can you blame?
Colm, this is really good. I like the idea of taking this into a play or longer story. "Before you became it"

Re: The Profane
Hooray Another post--NaPo poets are coming back to life slowly but surely. This write needs no music but I did hear some in my head as I read it. Mother Nature in your poem speaks as well for the very vermin she intends to rid herself of, me for instance, I drive a car with an internal combustion e...

Re: The Profane
Hi Colm - glad to be back. Hope to put in an appearance once in a while and go a few rounds now that the NaPo gloves are off ;) I agree that a free form poem might paint the gravity of the message a bit more strongly, but this is a song, written to composed music... these are lyrics induced by the...

The Profane
I came up with some music a few days ago and as often happens the music tickled my Muse and some lyrics started to take shape. So, outside from the shelter of NaPo 2020, let the arrows fly !!! The Profane I saw Mother Nature rise up I saw her respond that day She forced herself from her deathbe...
