I considered writing this month’s piece on the same artwork: but found it too much of a challenge. Double congrats to you for taking on a challenging piece so succesfully.

Hi Gretchen – thanks for the description of the piece. I wish I could actually see it, so that I could weigh and appreciate the poem against it. On the other hand, it’s quite fun creating something in my mind.
Thanks for a good read.

I wish I could add something profound to the comments already made, but I can’t. They’ve praised it all. Thank you for a wonderful read and a cleverly crafted piece of art.

Thanks for visiting Chloe. I appreciate your feedback.

Thank you Christian.
At first glance, your message presented itself to my brain as ‘There’s no accounting for philistines. You’re one of them!’ I am relieved that your actual message was much kinder 🙂

I love the rhyme scheme and the childlike, skipping rope rhythm. Very cleverly crafted. I particularly enjoyed how evocative it was, without having to effusively spell out the emotions. Simple cameos with so said in the unsaid.

Thanks Jane. I enjoyed this prompt and was a little spoilt for choice.

THanks Jane. I enjoyed this prompt! I was spoilt for choice.

Thanks for the feedback.

Or the anticipation of them. This was the same man who, when we stood in soft, gray rain and I said “Isn’t this rain romantic?” responded with, “Ja. The farmers must be chuffed.”

THanks for the feedback.

Thank you Symphony. Poetry is a word game, at the end, isn’t it?

Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks for the hug.
It was 30 years ago but the disappointment lingered long after he’d been eliminated from my life.

Disparate and dispassionate. It burnt my soul. Thanks for the read.

Ah. Lovely. I love the image of the notes dancing through the holes. Without divine breath, nobody would hear the music. Lovely work.

I’m enjoying seeing work addressing lesser known art – and yours is a gift. There is so much in all art, if we look long and hard, and quietly.

I suspect you would be very good at spoken word poetry: the rhythm here is terse, the angry words straining at the seams of your art. More power to you in raising awareness.

Awesome. I’ve put it on my personal FB page, as well as published it on the Rhyme Share Poetry Club.

Religion is best swallowed with a good cup of tea.
I especially enjoyed the subtext of juxtapositioning pareidolia with religion – and all within the simplest of rituals.
