ANd the cat's eyes are both alive and dead, are they not?

[YesNo]

I suspect what's looking doesn't need eyes, but that cat probably didn't want to go into the box in the first place.

[PeterL]

Cats love playing in boxes.

[YesNo]

As long as they can get out. I figure that cat would have been making so much noise you wouldn't have to look inside the box.

It would, if it weren't half dead.

an object defines longitude
it fits to belong
between the weak and the strong
it has abilities
according to agility
which gives it facility
to flex it is to etch it

a subject is a matter
of opinion
it is never clear
how the mind steers
towards it
but it stands near
whenever an idea of it appears
it becomes a discussion
to endear

the link between either
is plenty
because when they come
together they are handy
and when they apart
they turn
brandy
something to drink
instead of think
in other words
it is ideal when they synch

[PeterL]

That's one way to deal with brandy.

Cacian, I sometimes have the same opinion.

A Golden Sierra Walk In May

I saw the face of God today as
I walked the Golden Sierra track
T'was formed of clouds out in the East
on His right - a rainbow! - I took to be His staff

I'd been singing to myself as I walked
the westward leg of the high school's path -
a song containing the 24th Psalm
and the “Glory Be” - to keep a steady pace

When face to face His grandeur did appear:
I felt His perfect love, His mercy, and
His grace; and offered up a heartfelt prayer -
in Jesus' holy name - and continued on

My walk complete I took my leave and thought-
fully drove away. Arrived at home - an answer
to my prayer! Tiny sprinkles of rain blessed
my face - and once more I knew He was there

There have been four entries, and it is interesting that all four have substantially the same content; that all is fundamentally subjective, matters of personal experience. But it seems to be a matter of how one interprets that.

YesNo has it that dead matter depends on Consciousness, while Dark Muse feels the spirit within a dead weight. And cacian expressed a similar idea. Did they conspire?

Dark Muse,
This is a lovely thought, so much like Quantum Mechanics. Nice form, and it reads and sounds well.


YesNo,
This is an interesting concept, “dumb reality must go.” The poem is concise and of decent form.


Cacian,
Brandy is good, and this is a jolie rhyme. And it probably is true that subjectivity and objectivity should be in synch.


tailor STATELY
Stirs objective and subjective together right nicely, and it’s a merry little thing with good form.


As I mentioned, there is plenty of agreement. The entries have different but good forms. Dark Muse’s poem seems to pleasantly explain something that can be difficult, and her poem flows better than the others, so I declare Dark Muse the Winner.

Congratulations Dark Muse. And congratulations to the others for coming so close.

^^In response to the question about the cat's eyes up the top. Sorry I don't visit often.

Schrodinger's Digimon Cat's eyes were, yes.
