Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

Occasionally---but I have been extremely busy----and I've been feeling like the NFL disabled list----it is true but I'm not self-pitying---complaining but no more mention of it. I wish things could break right for you financially----these are hard times----I get so angry at all that uncompassionate ...

i want to regain the lyric flame dance light in the small circle of my thoughts i would like to stay attuned to the music of the moon which is the silence between vibrating strings and they, those strings, are sinews in the heart playing silly old love songs cliches' surely but so wonderful their si...

An interesting idea----and probably one adopted by the hermits themselves. The old saying---"no man is an island" is true but sometimes people have tp live off the coast of society.

A beautiful poem.


One question---though it works---these lines

Her lips ready to sip her
Hands holding the cup

seem to say her lips are ready to sip her hands. It works but it startles me----unlike everything else in the poem which seems so natural. Did I read the line right?

I like these lines in particular: I am September, the joy of the harvest share with me the bounty, come, lay your hands on the pen of your life and write your life's poem. love but the whole of the poem is of this nature----you have a mystical lyricism in your vision. Having it expressed solidly wit...

neologistic, I hope you are right but I still see the forces of evil----Monsanto, etc.----gumming up the works. Perhaps there is never a clear winner until the end of history & history will end only after the last human perishes. Fukiyama(sp?)'s book title was an absurdity the day the title was coin...

Doreen, I don't know why you dismiss your poem so----it is interesting----it communicates. I think it is a good poem.

No, it isn't a naturalistic poem but an expressionistic one.

The simplicity and clarity of your poems are two of the virtues that I admire in your work. Your use of metaphors is never pretentious and it seems so natural, so true----yes, I say to myself---a great metaphor. Both the loose change and the unfriendly predatory birds are perfect here. Another 5 sta...

I'm not sure what "the antler" is as expressed by the mingo, and I'm not sure about all the estrogen, but the poem is interesting---some urban scenes translated lyrically. I enjoyed this poem----I notice a tendency to write poems in the comments to others' poems. It isn't a bad practice. I just admi...

Dionysian ecstasy has it all over Apollonian ecstasy.

Some nice imagery

i am not authorized to write poetry too omniscient i must become likable or be in a dramatic situation like pole-vaulting over electrified fences or talking to celebrated actresses just trying to stay afloat when you feel yourself sinking as Cameron Diaz gives you the once over and she is so over yo...

Sex and poems are to enjoy. Let's don't be critical. There are too many negatives in the world. Let all your storms of passion be loving.

Art is a crack in silence. Art screams or whispers depending on how loud the echo of silence.

I always enjoy reading your poems. This is a good one too.

look see the tree the tree is green is that in the book? green as naive, new, envious you hook on a word like tree it branches out into variety if the tree blanched it would be white in the light bright light words in the book look with a squinting eye I look askance at the book, tree, you and me is...
