KP-Thanks for looking it up, Tailor. Orange has so many meanings today.
JV-Beat generation, cosmopolitan biography. Poem has probably the form of a song.

"I was born at the age of 33 on the day Christ died; I was born at the
Equinox, under the hydrangeas and the aeroplanes in the heat.
I had the soulful gaze of a pigeon, a tunnel, a sentimental motorcar. I
heaved sighs like an acrobat.
My father was blind and his hands were more wonderful than the night.
I love the night, the hat of every day.
The night, the night of day, from one day to the next.
My mother spoke like the dawn, like blimps about to fall. Her hair was
the color of a flag and her eyes were full of far-off ships.
One day, I gathered up my parachute and said: “Between two swallows
and a star.” Here death is coming closer like the earth to a falling balloon.
My mother embroidered abandoned tears on the first rainbows.
And now my parachute drops from dream to dream through the spaces
of death."

VH: "Chilean poet... known for promoting the Avant-garde literary movement in Chile, and the creator and greatest exponent of the literary movement called Creacionismo ("Creationism") https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creacionismo ." Ars Poetica a poem with poetic advice "Let poetry be like a key / Opening a thousand doors..." The other poem has some nice imagery in it, however the link to the .pdf file gave me a 404 error for some reason and I could not access.

VH: Nice websites /.pdfs... will have to revisit to soak it all in << This is the way I envision poetry to be accessible. CC: A humble poet from Cornwall (I had to look up where Cornwall was... it's the Westiest from my English roots, Southiest from my Scottish roots, and South/East from my Irish roots... it looks like a toe testing the waters of the Atlantic.). His poem "At the British War Cemetery, Bayeux" a fine tribute to the fallen, especially"... Take, they replied, the oak and laurel. / Take our fortune of tears and live / Like a spendthrift lover. All we ask / Is the one gift you cannot give."

Candice James:

In the eye of the hurricane
Wandering through the chaos
Those with closed eyes.
Those with scarred souls
Eddying,
In the core of the whirlpool

Nothing more needs to be said.

JFvE: "Prussian poet, novelist, playwright, literary critic, translator, and anthologist... one of the major writers and critics of Romanticism... the most popular German poet set into music." His legacy endures to this day. Enjoyed his poem Wünschelrute, or Wishing Well, shown on Wikipedia. I was reading a quote earlier today that accompanies his poem nicely:

Wishing Wand

A song's asleep in everything
And it dreams on and on,
And the world begins to sing,
Once you hit the magic tone.

- Joseph Freiherr von Eichendorf

~~~~~

To love a person is to learn
the song that is in their heart
and to sing it to them when
they have forgotten.

- Arne Garborg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arne_Garborg

Night Of The Moon: a nice poem that suffers from translation.

JFvE- More Moon Night
http://www.fullmoon.info/en/blog/the...chendorff.html (A better translation perhaps but didn´t like the walking breeze)

FS-No date of birth of this very active poet. Both poems give me a sensation of someone striving upwards.

JFvE: the new translation is more poetic... I agree with your assessment about the walking breeze. FS: Google states born Born: 1963 (no month nor day), London, United Kingdom - which is younger than I anticipated. SCB: New England/New York poet. I liked Bird Left Behind and, with apologies to the 3-poets, edited and mashed up the similar voices into one theme:

Three Voices on a Theme

S1

A song's asleep in everything
And it dreams on and on,
And the world begins to sing,
Once you hit the magic tone.

~~~~~~~~

S2

To love a being is to learn
the song that is in their heart
and to sing it to them tenderly
when they have forgotten.

~~~~~~~~

S3

A bird came back to find her kind
And none found took herself up
Into a tree and began to sing
the song she wanted sung back to her.

- S1: Joseph Freiherr von Eichendorf (Wishing Wand) / S2: Arne Garborg (edited quote) / S3: Sophie Cabot Black (edited the last 4-verses of Bird Left Behind )

Loved the combination of the three poems. A language question to AG: for me as a non native it´s strange the use of pronouns in the plural with a noun in the singular. Yet I have seen it in several texts of late and now again in the poem.

BM-German American background. Loved the poem formed like a tree.

MS: Beautiful website/blog; a little poetry but mostly well done short stories / flash fiction

• "I started a new blog for women who want to speak their mind, anonymously, about anything."...

• "A pen is better than a stick or a sword and frees the weave of my heart. At some point, every friend is an enemy, but even if my life is counted for nothing, a pen is more loyal."

... Me, I'd trust Parker with anything.

• "It has been well known for quite some time that on the outskirts of Munir, a city that could well be considered a test city for a heretofore untapped source of fuel, the bodies of the useless women currently are housed."

... Nice premise.

SVB- I love his story "The Devil and Daniel Webster" and I also liked the poem very much. Modest but not at all minor.

BdB: 1140~1215 a French Baron poet who was "a master of the sirventes"... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sirventes . Knights, castles, maces, swords, battle depicted in poetry.

BdB- Often sounds parodical to me as he emphasizes the horrors of war. Should like to know your opinion as your sensibility for poetry is more accurate then mine.
BD-Social themes. Gap of time between her childhood literature and her adult production. Enjoyed her delicate poem.

BdB: His poetry reflects the reality of his times having to personally deal with usurpers, class systems, politics, and war... . DA: Welsh physician and poet: "Considered one of the most important Welsh writers of the past century"... "In addition to being a poet and editor, he was a successful memoirist, essayist, playwright, and novelist.". Influenced by Dylan Thomas and Rilke early on. The poem shares the title of one by Edmund Spenser https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edmund_Spenser in 1594 to his bride Elizabeth Boyle https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epithalamion_(poem) the word having an ancient etymology: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epithalamium. To me the poem is more melancholy than I would have imagined of such a joyous time as he includes the "living and the dead" throughout.

DA- Interesting observation about the dialogue with Spenser's poem. Here is it: https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poe...-56d22497d00d4 I don´t see the reference to the "living and the dead" as so melancholic. He is making a homage and a direct reference to Spencer's poem and continuing his tradition.

AM-A cute poem. "Her career as a writer started as a journalist for the Chicago and New York newspapers before World War I. Much of her time was spent visiting courts, jails, and other places where suffering was present in order to cover her news stories. It was this experience that helped her write about social issues in future poems."https://www.familyfriendpoems.com/poem/in-spite-of-war-by-angela-morgan
