| Posted by Quentin S Clingerman on 10/03/09 at 06:28 PM Great poetic majesty in this! I am suggesting it for POTD and adding it to my favorites! |
| Posted by Gregory O'Neill on 10/03/09 at 08:13 PM Glenn, I love the idea of:"where thimbles then cups of time erode and squander", that it starts with a thimble, because it does, you nailed that one. And this whole piece is quite grand, fav for me too, even potd...(two are better than one!) Delighted, Thanks. |
| Posted by Tony Whitaker on 10/04/09 at 02:03 AM I too have suggested this for POTD. I had to read it three times to soak in all it says (plus it is 4 am and just getting up). What a great read to start the morning Glenn! |
| Posted by Clara Mae Gregory on 10/04/09 at 12:43 PM Outstanding poetry! It has my vote for potd and going in my favorites too. This is one of your masterpieces I think. Loved it very much! |
| Posted by Alison McKenzie on 10/04/09 at 03:52 PM You seem to have encountered a new inspiration, and I LOVE the product of that inspiration, this poem. Greg already commented on my favorite part of the poem in much the same the way I would have - but, yeah, wow. That particular line provokes such strong images for me! |
| Posted by Kristina Woodhill on 10/04/09 at 09:08 PM I admire the progression in numbers of lines and rhyme from one stanza to the next. Is this a "named" form of poetry? I enjoyed the "quirky reel", the orchestral feel to this 'dance', and how the muse is a separate but mighty force, oft times ignored, or so my mind's eye sees this fascinating offering. |

| Posted by Charles E Minshall on 10/05/09 at 06:05 PM The best poem I have read in quite awhile Glenn....CharMin (My choice for poem of the day) |
| Posted by Sandy M. Humphrey on 10/05/09 at 08:32 PM There are days when I am starved for inspiration, for spark to get me through, insight in to why we are and who we are and then I stumble onto something that speaks to me, through me and shows me that there are voices in this world that get it, truly get it and one of those voices is yours. I am in awe of this poem and I too vote it a fave and POTD. Thanks for this dance poet. smh. |

in contradicting passions"
is genius in your passion to fashion the rhythm of your rhyme. I think I've died and gone to heaven. It's Friday night and I can soak in the poetry of friends on a shared Pathetic path of expressing what has impressed our minds. What a joy to find this as #1 and deservedly so! |
