Comments : the fruit of me

    by Lune de ma vie

    there are other ‘Me's’ lurking in the shadows of my mind
    who are hiding from the sunshine
    goodbye, solitude!
    fantasies have no horizons, gifts from imagination
    just waiting on, a creative pen, to give them flight!

    ^ I absolutely love this first stanza, it has many layers of truth. There are so many layers of ourselves within our minds and soul that are waiting to be let out through inspiration and creativity. Also, others that will be let out from emotions that may be caused by events in our lives - these also can create creativity even when the emotions maybe not be what we wish. Possibly one of the better opening stanzas I have read recently, definitely helps pull the reader in.

    on this, the other side of me, craving a canvas
    to find articulation for a gifted mind
    skill less!, frustrations, defusing to my page
    is this art?

    ^ Second stanza gives deep thoughts and insight into poetry, writing, and forming a poem through emotions that ooze out. The question of is it art? Does these raw feelings now on paper do the justice I was hoping to explain? You showed me your thoughts during and shortly after writing a poem. That is a good strength to help the reader visualize.

    pushing against the wind
    I am feeling high and dry
    listening to the wind, answers are blowing away
    smoke and mirrors coming around again

    ^ The detail and description you pen here are so visually powerful and helpful to image through the wordplay and detail. I imagine and relate to this when having a lot of feelings and ideas to pen something but cannot seem to put anything to paper, you detailed stagnation and a blank mind with nature and metaphors that truly justify these feelings.

    kind of confusing, this mediocrity

    ^ Isn't it? It is hard to write, hard to feel words are being justified to explain oneself and society, everything they see and how they see it. Many times it is hard. But you were able to lay out another strong poem. Keep it up!
