Revision

Sometimes here, seems far away,
when you're in the lounge,
early morning seems to orchestrate
yet prevaricates,
the possibility of personal change.
Wish this could last,
longer than a radio show;
caught in this rare-field
where there is no movement beyond
these summoned thoughts

Hi Antony - some random thoughts below

Eira


Sometimes here, seems far away,
when you're in the lounge,
morning seems to orchestrate really like this line
yet prevaricates,
the possibility of personal change.
Wish this could last,
longer than a radio show;
caught in this rarefield amber: possibly rare-field
where there is no movement beyond
these thoughts summoned. perhaps 'these summoned thoughts'

Live one day at a time -it's simpler that way.
Laugh loud & often - it's medicinal.
Write from the heart - it's therapeutic.
Beauty comes from within - the outer is just skin!

Greetings, friend:
Just some punctuation and a couple of questions

You know I don't do free verse, but since things have been so quiet, I'm visiting the other side:

Sometimes here(,) seems far away(,);
when you're in the lounge(,)
early morning seems to orchestrate
yet prevaricates,
the possibility of personal change. (I don't understand the connection here ?)
Wish this could last(,)
longer than a radio show;
caught in this rare-field (what IS rarefield??)
where there is no movement beyond
these summoned thoughts

in Light of quiet, Daniel sun.gif

The poem is about not sleeping and being in the lounge in dark morning light. Such is a valued time of quietness where life decisions can be made in this tranquillity.
I read that at 04.00 am devils and angels are in conflict with each other.
Rather than rarefield should be used than rarefied.

Hi Anthony,
I hadn't seen this poem before. Been away for some time.
Enjoyed it very much. I think poets are allowed to invent neologisms such as rare-field or rarefield. Or turn nouns into verbs, etc.

I see you've had good suggestions, so I have no nits at all. Except perhaps Daniel's questions as to "what rare-field means". But I read your explanation about the 4 a.m. events, so I better get to bed, as it's now 4.30 a.m. LOL.

Best wishes and congrats on your poem.

The Lord replied, my precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.

Or the hearts of sheep, and the wind
Pours by like destiny, bending
Everything in one direction."

I like "longer than a radio show" - good tongue in cheek description - brisk rhythm - well done - RC
