Ace.

by Poet on the Piano   Nov 23, 2011


You're a momentary home,
beclouded among my many
thorny moods and
swelling petunias.

The standards won't
fence
around our submission-
we search o'er
flooding sunshine....
and we don't push away
the excess that
shadows,
instead
we mount
this ace.

    You've really had it going with the message, and how you structured the piece.. perfectly penned.

    I'm always so curious as to what inspires some of your poems, you're one of those poets that I find challenging to understand their words in their poetry, but I must say I love this challenge much, it means you write with lots of creativity.

    I found it difficult to find the meaning in this one but for some reason it made me think of you honoring yet feeling a bit of jealousy towards a wonderful musician or something, not sure why. It's like you were writing of someone whom you wish you could emulate since their work is so beautiful and touches your heart. I thought the usage of petunias worked absolutely perfectly if my assumption is correct, since they symbolize resentment/anger. It's as if you resent their ability to put together such beautiful pieces of music/art.

    Yup, this piece has me stunned, it's gorgeous and little with that secret meaning in it that the reader must search for. What a lovely surprise this piece is.
