Poetry / full moon (Analysis)

Thank you very much for the review you gave! Glad to see you are still around on the site. I barely have time to do anything anymore, myself. I try…I try but to no avail, it seems.

Bare with me – I still write. It just doesn’t make it anywhere these days!

Look forward to hearing from you again, k

FM…I was not writing a poem first about RAGE and heartbreak, where an elipsis would suffice (to my way of seeing it, in this poem about a human animal and its fury and heartbreak. I know; blah blah blah. Order, but that last space was a pause, even – a snag to grab your attention. “Hey, don’t get totally lost in the imagery here; subtle reshift to the subject at hand.”

I mean, how many furious wolves have you imagined? That was my goal when I chose that particular word order and the line spacing to highlight it, anyway. Semantics, mostly but really fun when you’re doing it!

You’re very welcome for reviewing my poem and I look forward to returning the favor. It’s good to discuss why I choose to do a thing and why I would not change it (or would consider it, for that matter). Thanks, k

Thanks for the review and comments and the compliments as well. I’m glad you got the images and caught some the the things I was seeking to convey. k

Good luck and keep writing.

Why, thank you!

I really appreciate your review and comments on the poem as well. And may we always be able to write, all of us.

Thank you very much for your review and the compliment! k

If only I had the excuse of being young…but, I can only say I am eternally young.

Thank you for your review and I am glad you thought the poem nostalgic and heart warming. Remember: you are as old as you think you are – it is never too late…k

You got it! At some point there is overload – we don’t know what to do with all the emotions and stress and questions. There has to be some release or something plainly horrible is going to happen, we know it…and so we develop (sometimes inappropriate and unacceptable) pressure valves.

Thank you for your review and comments, k

Thank you for your review and comments.

I chose to use the hyphen as my only punctuation – I cannot say why other than it fit the entire poem in form as well as function. To me, this is one of the great aspects of free verse. I cannot address whether or not you can understand the form nor gather consistent meaning from the poem; others have and will (thus I will not address the negativity of the last sentence as well, though I appreciate the fact you found it thought provoking).

Poetry is like that. What appeals to one, what lights a fire in the heart of this person and sends their thoughts spinning off into space and makes their heart beat faster, may appear ugly or trite, even insult another. You will never know until you lay it out there – bare your soul, if you will. Again, thank you for your input. k

I don’t know what the hell I was thinking…. After re-reading it, there is a new meaning to me and I almost feel like a different person wrote my review from before.  Maybe that has something to do with recent events in my life, and the ability to understand the subject matter. :)
