I like the sound of it, and the way the lines slow it down and make it waver in the air.

Dear SL,  a most beautiful stream of thought and wisdom.... would that i could take root and remain gazing...

Somewhat with Tom on contrabass, which (even to my music-book-filled-miind) feels museum-y.... Would you consider the humble "double bass"?

Tell you what my poetry prof would tell me......too many unrelated images.  Got instruments, bamboo, roles of pennies, wars..... It sounds delicious, but seems a bit disconnected to me.

Thank you.   d

if only war was more tubular!

dear Desi

i am glad that that pieces of imagery were quite edible
yet that the puzzle did not fall into place for you.

abstract painting is indeed far from a still life.

your professor would have hated me
and i would have smiled

always glad to have your thoughtful eye pass by

many many thankyuus

SL - this was very enjoyable, my favorite is "winter was about to ferried to the mainland" but many lines within this i like -

great images, Silent Lotus.

love the ending on ways of wars.

This is fine, SL, though I also have a problem with a contrabass having nooky with a clarinet.

Cheers
