Heavenly celestial phenomenon, a muse bellowing out in penciled ponderings our sufferings, you tie many things in this one, very impressive to see your poetry and your armada of vehicles you choose to deliver, be it super nove, white star, Nebula or a song, it is always a journey to say the least
I truly appreciate your attentiveness to my poems! Yes, there are many themes and extremes in this poem. What a wonderful comment you have made! Thank you so much!
I had to delete the poem and post it again and unfortunately lost the comments. Sorry...
Aloha Harley and Cheers! I ponder many of the same and similar pictures... That child... that star nursery... and harbour many of the thoughts herein... and IAM just reading you? I enjoy the notes also... I must consider more profoundly how it is I read these selections... All of the best from this life, to you, and to all of our relations... Michaelw1two
