All Comments on 'local politics'

and not just because it's on the top of the list

<grinin'>

wow this was so cool, another forest soldier fallen

people running around bicker politics and nature

takes care of its own.

love this poem liar, and hey ... I understood it <smile>

Liar I'm going to leave two comments, that can be be taken either way, take it this way, 80% good; 20% slightly damning

1.) your recent collaboration with anna seems to have left something

2.) you may be overintellectionalizing

the reason I left 100, is I enjoyed it, but not sure of its intent.

Liar -

I really liked the flow of this poem, and the formatting of the list of people added to it, I felt. Lovely as usual.

"ran laughing under it[']s shadow" Enjoyable poem.

Liar!

I enjoyed this work, it ran right up my alley. Nature, politics, (intellectual jargon), with the last stanza taking a real turn on what truth really is...

QUOTE:

for fifteen years

a tree stood sentry

patient witness

to little bipeds

with funny cat-calls

here I find it interesting that you reflect on time in the human sense. Speaking of a tree limiting its time on this earth.. like the only importance of its exhistance was that 15 years... makes me go hmmmmm... oh really... and how many others may have noticed this tree and thought the same thing...

and there stood the tree

silently swaying limbs

to a different tune

than our human chatter

to no consensus, to no end

for fifteen years of ndecision

again..repeated thought.. on the 15 years...

but here... I love the change... no longer giving importance to the 15 years.. but rather.. all of time..and what really matters...the roots...makes me think of my own life and how I am living...do I have strong roots.. or are they too close to the ground level.. there fore vulnerabel and exposed to giving a damn....

Quote:

as if they could wind up some DeLorean,

take a wayback spin

as if roots

would really

give a damn

Thank you Du Lac

I wish the vote scale went highre than 5 cause this one deserves it. How does one think lke a tree? you have given a new perspective and I needed that for a while now...love this!!

Reminded me a bit of the Style of UA Fanthorpe.:)

mute historians aren't they?

excellent poem, I almost wanted more " meat" to it but when I got to here:

~then it fell

quietly, considerably

at 3 am when nobody's children

ran laughing under it's shadow,

not because of our demigod interaction

but because the time had come~

Well what can one say about a stanza that speaks of so many thing in such a simple direct way.

Great job

Thank you

I enjoyed this but I thought it was equally effective with or without the last 5 lines. I wanted to give it 90 but am not quite certain why, so.
