Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

TY, still-t - Was It also you whom Posted the Link to the newstory journalistcally chronicling this event upon which the Poem is composed(?)? If not, if another Reader happens on this, I want to offer my thanks for your awareness, & assure no contrition as such need be offered. At PIB, before the Po...

still-t - TY for the continued attention to my Work; no, the latter Valley Stream, as portrayed in the earliest tenets of the Piece (some 50 yrs. now), & now devolved - as many American communities - into landfilled Malls 'n Mauls. Btw, did I not view an earlier Post here re: your response to the vi...

K&D ( Kudos & Dance) - There are those whom in a refusal to understand/accept difference, will resort to invective, attempt to "killing," & urge others to follow suit; ironically, this is one of the Poem's (Xmas) messages. So, TY for the maturity, support, & moral conviction. As for the "Audio," cur...

TY, Nazz - I do not recall any mandate to view/comment upon my Work, either by force, or sorry excuses. Your laconic reply solves (but not resolves) the issue - H'H./H.e.m.

Hey, K&D - I have had an extensive variance of comments to my Work throughout this thing I do nomened Poetry, however, to be labeled mechanistic , indeed is an imprimitur I will sport amongst my faves ! TY! I strive to ReInvent; & as a dear friend/critic observed a while back, "...machine-gun spitte...

Dori - Again, my abject apology, this, for assuming the Reader(s) might glean the length of this Piece provided expedience for the Link (there are no-less-than [ 6 ] Posts spread over the Internet onto similar Sites). Formatting was to be time not time-efficient, my major objective, to disseminate. ...

mtmynd - Again, my apology (Doreen has mended); was a formatting issue, the Link (I also corrected in my thread) is now operable, will take you directly to the Piece. I hope/look to Reading your comments. TY - H'H./ H.e.m . Addendum: TY, mtmynd; in-deed, a "Big Box," laden with the manics of most & ...

Dear Reader: My abject apology; however, for reasons which will present, my desire - no require - this be out-there; to wit, hope you will indulge - H'H./H.e.m.

Perhaps if Time is fleeting , Their watchbands are too snug; and if the Fleet is Flying, We've then Memorialed the Forces of Air & Water! Me, I like things of Glass, and a glimpse of bra. "I won't sleep with you." "Sleep' ll have little to do with It!" "O?" "O, O, yes." Frayed, natant Words, sans bo...

mb - TY; your suggestion to advisement, I believe that which would serve the greatest efficacy is to reunite the "Hotrod Pounders Teutonic Katzenkopf WahooYahobo Ka-zoo OrcheBand" to the reaches of Purlieu Outlands, eh lads?, & let 'em duke It out w/glassine washboards beneath the Bastille Lodge, in...

"These words don't make me a poet..." Those Words, save for "Indignity & Stolidarity" do not Exist! Anything further would smack dignifying... Regards, Ezra's Pound.

D. - TY for the "invitation;" w/o further enumeration, my Style of Crit. would most-probably be inappropriated for this Forum. This said, your Poem engages both Thematically & Liguistically, i.e., sucks in/sucks-the-breath from the Reader. My One suggestion here (should you choose to accept this ass...

D. - A slight apology for the (seeming-seemly) slight; my interpretation (LOL!) is of One whom eschews conflict; I inferred no other connotation. And, cool, YW, YW... H'H./H.e.m.

D. - This (esp.) for you; 1st., explication: The Poem (as the Title denotes) is a permutation of the "Off's" (as some have gleaned) - essentially, three meanings: a) getting- off , as in enjoyment; b) the offing of the Planet, as in destruction; c) off-of, as in leaving/escape. To wit, few, or no-mo...

WELL - TY you ALL, mightily & heartily for the Invitation to the Party - Yes, a Gala, nice, in-deed; so, being I (my Work) am the ostensible Guest (of mostly Honor?) allow Me to offer my proppers, & risk the fear of further dishonor - LOL ! As with ALL my Work, I structure/compose carefully to appe...
