Superman

Water beneath bridges is always made to move below the penumbra of our blessed moon. She flows freely through the mouth of its enclave taking with her every notion of solidity; I stand here firm as a rock watching her pour herself out she slows my senses as she extinguishes my burning thoughts, and makes me think of Superman !

Vie! A brilliant, MOVING poem. Yes! The poem moves me to recall creeks, rivers, floods in their rushing under bridges, squished running under highway overpasses, more powerful than a stream of trailer trucks. A perception, a metaphor to stop senses & require the point of poetry. Reading brought me all this. Will always alter my view. Great hugs as i return after jim’s long illness. Love, sally

Your poem is a profound and contemplative masterpiece. Each carefully crafted image leaps off the page and transports me to another world. The line "She slows my senses" captivated my soul and left an indelible mark on my being. It resonated with such intensity that I was momentarily lost in its enchantment. I wish you a delightful evening, filled with inspiration and creativity.

Intriguing. They are all linked, the moon the earth the stars representative of man's spiritual feeling development. Superman is where we are sometimes spiritually, and at others times the direction we need to fly. If we can think it, it is a reality on some level of consciousness -- which makes it real. Fascinating write.

Superman, Wonder Woman, it matters not. The important thing is that your poem is so deep in thought and so wonderful in its imagery. Blessings.
