Wow Ben! I remember you with your small lines that speak so loudly.. your minimalist form that says so much…like this one…sensual, understated, hinting at much more. She is lucky you know how to read rare languages:)
Minimalism: that’s one of my favorite words when it comes to writing. If you can imply the things that aren’t there, you can do so much more while keeping everything sparse. Glad you found more than the words here. Thanks as always. Love how you view things! Your perspective is very different than my own, but also very much the same. Appreciate your thoughts. Thanks again!
Very nice.
Thanks kindly! Hope you’re well! Nice to see you here!
Love this, Benjamin
Super! Thanks a lot!
My pleasure
🙂
Ooo Ben, I absolutely love this! I remember this poetic master 😉. So good to see you playing around with different styles again. That first line had me hooked and I love where you took it. Spectacular write as always, my friend 💚💙
Thanks! I thought I’d go in a new direction and this one came to me. Glad you saw something in it. Thanks for commenting! 💙💚
Wow – that’s wonderful, Ben. You are very talented. Thanks for sharing this with your readers – much appreciated!
Thanks, Lynette! I appreciate you and all your support for almost ten years now! Have a great week; hope it starts to warm up where you are!
Thank you very much, Ben. 🙂 It’s my last winter in the subarctic, so I can last through it! Cheers.
Oh wow! Well, enjoy it then! That will be a big change.
I’ve had enough long winters. 🙂 I’ll be moving to my home in a much more temperate location! Cheers.
Nice! All the best!
Hi Benjamin. Nice and abstract! Less is certainly more! Sharon
Thanks so much, Sharon! Have a beautiful day! And a more beautiful week!
Ah, thank you Benjamin! All the very best, Sharon.
This is just a masterpiece, so few words, spoke layers of meanings. I needed to read this poem to be inspired to write again..thank you!
Thanks! Glad to hear it inspired you a bit, especially since it was your readings that partly inspired me to write a few poems this weekend. Hope you’re doing well!
Well, this is quite mysterious, Ben! I like the ambiguity of it 🙂
Thanks a lot, Sunra!
