this was written in response to "the law of diminishing returns".  As in the numbers of poets commenting and responding here on the soup.  Perhaps it has to do with the growth of the site and the overwhelming number of poems posted.

and so as leaves fleeing Fall’s frailty they scatter on the wind poems blowing blindly down silent streets words shouting in moonless darkness thoughts blinking in refocused rant metaphors meandering through melancholy alliteration arguing against ages angst keyboards mocking the scratching of pens fingers reaching out caressing words baiting a trap for idle eyes warming the tea of time.

love your poets notes, I work hard to try and comment but when its never reciprocated it makes you wonder why you bother. I wish there was a way to encourage more commenting on poems John but I've certainly seen a dramatic reduction recently. i don't think issues on the site help especially the pesky ads which are most off putting. adding this gem to my faves:-) hugs jan xx

Such elegant lines, John. And that last triplet was very soothingly expressed.
