Love and life may not be simple but, , May they be worth it in the end! .. May God bless dear Susan! ..
A very emotional poem powerfully written! .. Excellently and very creatively expressed! .. Definite 5 Stars! ..+++++
Love can be work and at times the heart feels bounced all over the place like it can be in life...
Rebecca, you hit the nail on the head! ! ! ! ! I swear you get inside the head of so many of my poems that I think you must be in my head! ! ! thank you for being on PoemHunter
part 1 Hello Susan and thanks for sharing another Gem with us this poem is very distinguish, here the poet by purpose used some symbols, imagery and metaphors for Love I have never seen any other poet using them before, here the great poet has created a unique atmosphere made out of hard materials (such as rock, steel, slung ball, rail, machine...etc)
part 2 / ) but there are some thing soft inside them, there are many ways for understanding and interpreting this lovely poem, the reader might ask: does the love in the metallic and technology era will end up with these iron feelings? this is very creative poetic idea..excellent Susan..it needs a big discussion and talk..10/10 and into my treasure chest ***
Mj Lemon! ! ! ! I always enjoy your comments! ! ! They add to the poem everytime because you jump into the spirit of the thing and voila! the poem gets an added dimension! You are a treat and a treasure to Poem Hunters. Always have been, always will be! ! ! Thank you for faving this and for that 10! ! !
Mj Lemon- - the reply box is not working so here I am replying to you in the comment box. Never say die, I say, You know your pinball games, sir! ! ! ! Perhaps you will put that recreation to a poem sometime- I think yours would surpass mine in a heartbeat- -unless I pull the plug on yours! ! !
The pinball metaphor is genius! You get at least three plays. Sometimes there are several balls 'bearing inside' the game. Sometimes we take the eyes off the ball and focus on the bonus- -leading to great results, or sometimes disasters. This gem works as either comedy or tragedy. A perfect 10...and to myfavourites.
Love is the central force that keeps life oscillating from one point to the other. Without love, life becomes stagnant. It is powerful as a steel ball that helps us earn points to win the game of life. It is a ball that helps us keep the play on in the pinball game of life. You have made use of a powerful metaphor to drive your point home.
Again you have turned loose that magnificent brain of yours to examine a piece of my writing. I am very humbled by the amount of time you spend on the examination of other writers' poems. You are an invaluable asset to PH.
Love at times seems to bump its way through life. When it hits one is completely smitten and bowled over. A very clever metaphor combining the softness and motion of love with the randomness of a catapulting ball bearing. Insert another quarter please.
Oh, Captain, my Captain, I love your comment- smitten and bowled over! ! ! Thank you! ! ! !
Apparently PH is determined not to post comments and replies. I will try again. Poetic Poet - -It only took me 20 minutes but I found that it was you who wrote a comment that has not shown up on this poem but only in my notifications- -thank you for reading and commenting! ...Here is the notification and comment: " You have a new comment about your poem: Love Is Never Inert - - -Love this poem. The last line is powerful. Thanks for your comment on Coffin Party. My dark humour at play.-

PH is up to a new malfunction- in which I receive a notification about a comment that they do not post. Here is this one but there is no name: You have a new comment about your poem: Love Is Never Inert - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Love this poem. The last line is powerful. Thanks for your comment on Coffin Party. My dark humour at play.- -I will see if I can trace Coffin Party to see who made this sweet comment. Thank you!
Now that is a pleasant comment! Thank you for it and the starry-eyed 10! ! !
This poem finds comparisons that are unique if out of the way, and offers something that a rare poet would say. Here is a poet self made who something her own has said. Brilliant.
WoW! ! Thank you! ! I was afraid people wouldn't like the pinball machine reference! They might even think I was an oddball! !
A lovely poem...loved the essence of this endearing piece...Top score.
thank you so much for your kind words, my friend
