key to a morning

The poet lingers at the garden gate...this touches me so. He lingers and waits for his visitors, for his carefully tended words like flowers to be appreciated. There is so much to love and take away from these lines...

It is always such a pleasure to read and ponder on your words, dear Jacob.

I need more coffee to get out of this bed. But I have to get out of bed to make the coffee.
What a conundrum. Ha.

Scott.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

Yes, a conundrum...most definitely.

Sometimes poetry is 24/7 gathering thoughts.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

quite the gathering for sure.

Lovely title, Jacob. You unlock the morning and the words begin to drip onto the page. Seems you are a morning writer while I myself write best in the late evenings when all is calm and quiet. So much is expressed in just three lines to tell us about the poet's tendencies; lingering at the garden gate waiting for the muse to arrive, no doubt. Your mornings must be wonderful given the words that land on your pages. ❤

my mornings are generally middle of the night, ha ha.
Thank you for your kind words, Marina...as poets, we write when the inspiration comes, whatever time of day.
Nice to see you again...

And the process begins...poetry is there, all around us, hiding in plain sight, waiting for someone to wake up and write it. Very cool

[jacob erin-cilberto]

thank you, will,

dear Jacob... Reminds me of a Song we sang in the Choir... "I come to the Garden alone while the Dew is still on the Roses... and He walks with me and He talks with me and He tells me "I am His own". gently, Pat

[jacob erin-cilberto]

thank you, Pat...

I wonder what Hemingway and Kosinski saw before they committed suicide Jacob? We must seek beauty and maybe hope? Powerful and worthwhile words shared Jacob.

Kosinski probably thought he was tired of "Being There"---artists usually write away from suicide not towards it....but some can't.
thank you,

You are right Jacob and you are welcome.
