Beautiful writing clear crisp imagery an interesting ending, a worthy read in my opinion
(If you have the time I recommend you read ruby slipper ' s entire catalog)

This is a heart-wrenching offering, with some unforgettable lines. It makes me feel like I'm inadvertently trespassing upon grief.

Son of Adam, Beast's latest, got under my skin. Could hardly be more of a contrast to todski's Fathers Lament in the view of a father.

"For You, During Rain" by IanSaulWhitcomb is a nice, concise, and pleasant poem to read aloud.

Thanks for noticing, Legerdemer, and thanks for the kind comment! JBJ even stopped by to leave a comment (and two stars).

I nearly felt bad about pointing to your poem because I thought it might draw the troll out, but fuck if I'm going to let trolls dictate my actions.
He did that for me too, on Vera, Primed. What an honor to be trolled, eh?

Never feel bad about pointing out a good read because I, for one, would much rather have a story/poem suffer any resulting slings and arrows of criticism (deserved or not) than the far worse fate of having it sink unnoticed into the depths of Lit.
The real problem is that I think there are many readers who like/love the writing they've taken the time to read but for whatever reason don't remember or bother to vote. I see many poems with thousands of views and only a handful of votes.
If a far greater percentage of readers took the time to thank the poet with a simple click I'm sure the yays would far exceed the nays.
Great job w/ Vera, Primed btw ~ Seanathon

Agreed. It would have been in my top 10.

"Chasing an Elusive Conversation" by wakingDown is a well deserved editor's choice.

There are a number of other new poems listed by poets who've been around awhile and have solid reputations for working hard on their art. I've not the time to read them all presently but intend to do so.

By stlgoddessfreya is so worth a read for a longish poem you are treated with rewarding phrases and sensory input as to have you skipping along to the end
And
Licking your fingers to go back for seconds!

"Dream Song" by EllenMoore, I thought, is a great read; nice and tight, well put together; alot of images in a short poem with an understandable narrative, hard to do IMO.

I just came in to recommend this one as well!

Thanks so much, to both of you! And to those who commented on the poem itself. Spice For A Better Life is a real thing, and it does honestly make everything I put it on taste better.
Somehow it doesn't matter how much formatting I do or don't so, the poem always ends up mangled and a little squashed when I post it to Lit. Any advice on that, anyone?

You should read Of A Lower Star by wakingDown. I love how the title works with the poem and how such strong, clear images are conveyed with few words.

"a novel night" by cavu182 is really well written IMO. Not usually my cup of tea, but I really enjoyed it:
