Notes About The Poem

Perception

Perception


while djinnis cackle

I craft poetry
in this room 
with both hands tied

I compose
on white walls
with an imaginary blue pen

Phew, a rubber padded cell. But the blue marker rules in a way. Your painting with the pen always strikes me as so powerful. Kind wishes, Kai

I was just thinking about you yesterday and hoping you are well. It is wonderful to read your work again. Welcome back! Congratulations on POTD my friend! : )

July 28, 2018 at 11:56 PM

Hi Connie. I am still around, but I don't post my work here very much. That is because I wish to send them in for publication, most of them anyways. And when they are on PS, they are considered published, and that means I cannot send them in anymore. I'm okay my friend, how are you doing?

July 28, 2018 at 3:27 PM

Hello Darren, Congratulation on POTD!! A very "perceptive" write -- no pun intended!! Superbly Done!! Cheers, Gary

July 28, 2018 at 11:56 PM

Thank you Gary :) Also very perceptive of you!

My Dear Friend - when did you return?? This is perfect for Poem of the Day, and the day after mine ... hmmm, perhaps the Universe is speaking, as I don't believe in coincidence. I remember times of illness and writing on the ceiling, but always in imaginary red, dripping in my eye, (fits me, doesn't it?). Blessings, Buddy - I pray you are well - the collab will happen! ;-) <3

July 28, 2018 at 11:58 PM

Greg, I have never been away, but hardly ever post poems, because I am sending my poetry in for publication mostly, that's why. But I am still around. Just email, you know? ;)

July 28, 2018 at 11:49 AM

Yaaaay!! You're back, at long last... As long as it's a padded poetry cell, ( where some of us find a voice for our quirky, craziness, ) it's good...And, as usual, you remain in top form....love this! ( Please can we have some more? ((((BIG HUGS)))

July 29, 2018 at 12:03 AM
