A descriptive force that allows one to wonder why we see beauty at all, well done, good read.

[Pryde Foltz]

Thank you, Thomas. It took me a long time to realize. We see what we look for ... it gets hi-lighted and is allowed to grow. Here in Vancouver ... I am surrounded by so much beauty ... sometimes it makes me weep.

[Alfred Kukitz]

"into the coldest void of blue"... interesting metaphor, as I was thinking more into the cold void of black as in getting rid of the fire and spite... but then I also thought of the old saying of saving the patient by curing the disease and the idea of above all do no harm (when treating a patient)... it seems your words here are more of these second points... enjoyed listening to you read Pryde....

It is about healing with a light touch .. thus the feather at the beginning ... isn't black actually really dark blue ... okay I am grasping now ... I refer the sky and the coming of light ... it is still really cold up there:)

I'm glad and I enjoy your work. I always re-post to other sites for other folks to enjoy.

I'm sure it would help poets become more positive to hurl the bad stuff away but would poems become the same because of it?

[Pryde Foltz]

No poems would not be the same ... but they would be more powerful. That said it is a process ... if there were no sophomores there would be no one to show the freshman around. What I say is always step it up at the end ... give yourself and the reader some release:):):)
