This work has reached the exceptional level

Each of your poems are a carefully crafted work of art all their own. I love this. Before I read your note at the bottom, your image made me thing of music as I read. The structure of your poem made me think of the construction of song lyrics with your mid stanza being the chorus. As always, I had to read your poem three times for my brain to envelope all the wonderous meaning and beauty within. The first read I simply revel in your diction, your opulent vocabulary. I just let those words and alliterations and internal rhymes flow through me and taste their delicacies upon my tongue. The second reading I slow way down and try and dig for your meaning. What is it you are saying in this kaleidoscope of expression. Then with the 3rd reading, knowing the meaning, I let your imagery take me to new heights of glory in the written word. You are an egnima of writing that I happily perambulate your acid tricks with the building bricks you make yourself before you build the most extraordinary bliss.

    You have a knack for making me feel good with you reviews and then I worry about responding, lol. Thank you so much for your words - they are unbelievably encouraging :-).

    PS I haven't forgotten about your first chapter and will get there shortly. I was thrilled to see it place in book of the month though - huge congrats :-)

I'm fresh out of sixes, but so impressed with your poem, rhymed and so musical and yet so original and creative. I have never seen another poem quite like this one. You are obviously as at home in the world of poetry as you are in the realm of storytelling. This was a true treat to read, as well as inspiring. MM

    Thank you :-). I enjoy using 'time changes' in poetry to alter the pace and mix up the rhythm a bit. I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

Your poem was well presented in color scheme, image, word choices,
and message, Mike. One's imagination can take him/her anywhere
to discover the undiscovered or make sense of what s/he already
knows. Too many are closed minded to think/try new things. Your
video was an interesting addition. You gave readers much to think
about which was great.
Thanks for sharing, Jan

    Thank you, Jan :-). Indeed, imagination is the basis of truth, I thing, because we only discover new things when we take ourselves outside the usual way of thinking.

This is an interesting and thought provoking post.The arrangement of line and use of alliterations .Imagination can help us us to unlock the enigmas ,but i am afraid I may get 2 plus 2 five!
Interesting music

I enjoyed your poem and the music (at least for a little while). It is certainly unique but goes very well with the theme of your poem. You seem to have a very wide range of literary writing.

    Thank you for your lovely words - I'm really glad you enjoyed the poem :-). Can I just check - was the 4 star rating intentional? It's totally fine if it was - I'm only checking because your words were all positive.

    Either way, thanks so much for reading!
