Oh I love this, silent. Enjoy the 'late bloomer' stanza, and especially love the ending. Perfectly delightful.

Great job,

Was happy to see a new poem, Silent. Like this character sketch very much. The title a mystery, but will give my brain something to chew on for the rest of the week! Tom

silent very much enjoyed this evening. your poem here challenged me, which leaves me to read as our main character etching out her own life from her parents, with S1 serving as the ink and S2 the blazoned copper. also really like that 'composure of a late bloomer'. a fine read. lawrence

Heaven above, Chasan — takes me back a bit. Love the feel of its weightlessness and depth, quite remarkable, I think. Splendid. D

Your characters are accumulating in my mind, Silent, and I'm starting to see them in the same place, interacting. It's a consistent alternative world, its inhabitants displaying their unusual dimensions. Really like that. -Tom

dear Tiko

thank you for sharing the textual reading stumbling block
i appreciate your take on it

though for me it flows
when spoken aloud

as i give good pause
between those two
ins

does that work any better for you ?

it works well, but then you have 'in'
starting S2. when read aloud, given
the right pause, i'm sure it's easily
traversed, but visually, it stands out.

yet, i still enjoyed!

thanks,

Unhid Bio

The poem is a poem, not a shadow. Please, refrain from running after me. Alas, I am nowhere to be found.
A-head, then, on an empty wallet

rooms fill with literati, worse still
playboys and bottles of plasma
— gems, from far away fields
I was joined at the hip by a dress
one that whispers out loud, her best interests
lay between the law and a crook
— a crook like me, in a crowd
I was in a rat-hole for lunch
with a flock of guilty pleasures, all
drawn from dark places to greet their real-live
stud, then keep him on life-support
till the boy child wrangles such ill-gotten gains
— no questions asked

Is it that simple, so regular, so bright as to unlock such secrets as to fill a throne, that, which would have most down as pickpockets and charlatans, then, poet, save me from myself.
