Ha - I should have known it was a poem by that scantily clad young madam - that woman gets around!
I am well thanks - just about managing to keep my head above water in all the effluence :) x

Thanks for commenting and spending time with my 'musing' poem. Yes, poetry is not dead... but outside the realm of poets and poetic pursuits there is quite a dearth there that it sometimes seems a dying art form. I don't believe in my heart that poetry can die. As long as there is breath and words in the heart and the tongue... there poetry always will be.

Hi, dear Ann! As far as I've already explained "Rzhepicks" come from my surname Rzhepishevska. If your surname is Foxglove then they have to be Foxglovicks. lol

Enjoyed the poem.Third verse is lovely. I struggled with the meaning in a few places, notably
Still blemished weights of coherence
lie, carve to memory those that last.
I formed the impression it was a mother's lament for a child, but I'm often way off the mark.

This is exceptional writing. Precise. But beautiful."Witnesses can tut and tsssk, queue to sign my page for free...Shout out loud that they've been there," I like what that alludes me to...and "The most liquid of loves now warm my bones." - brilliant. I'll top up my glass to that one.

What a gorgeous piece Andy;
"listen to the nervousness
of my every touch"
"leaves dancing all
over the pavement."
"limping over the shore
before stumbling
to a sudden stop."
"across a landscape
of random impulse"
I absolutely adore these lines
My only contention is with "rain falling down from the sky" The direction and point of origin seem redundant to me as rain can't do anything else unless its going sideways which then paints a different picture but other than that lovely images and a superb dreamy quality. Thanks for sharing your tenderness :) x

Hi Larisa - I think I've thought of a rzhepick!
"I'm fussy -
that's why I'm lonely"
"I'm not fussy -
that's why I'm happy!"
What do you think? I'd have to call mine a Foxerick I guess! I always enjoy yours. x

It depends who you're standing close to. There's nowt wrong with a good feel under the right circumstances. It's hard getting the right circumstances tho - a bit like waiting for Jupiter to line up with Saturn - or whatever planets it is that line up once in a blue moon. No jokes about Uranus please...
Being serious for a mo, you express well the anxieties many of us feel. Rejection can lead to a loss of trust and faith - so hard to get that back sometimes.

I can sense the anxiety in this. It made me laugh initially, but it also has a seriousness about it. I need to have a certain amount of personal space too. Feelings can make you crazy... I sometimes get so overwhelmed with feelings that I just have to withdraw and get away.

Thanks for your feedback John on "Writer's Block"
The poem isn't really about that unwanted phenomenon but rather a wounded and sore heart and therefore the fear of further pain becomes a block to future pleasure ;)

Always like your stuff Dermot - 'remembering exclusion – sustaining exclusion' - good line.

It made me laugh! I find it's often the attitude of people on any site, not just this, that is all about me me me and they don't give anything, except to curry favour, which isn't really giving, it's trying to take. It should be about the poems themselves but the way some people skim over lesser known people without commenting or encouraging (if it's deserved) is pretty nauseating.
