A fantastic write that shares a glimpse of the thought process of an intellectual poet. Stirring and imaginative. Another write for the mind to feast on.

This one is a monster. You write like I do -- or I write like you do -- in some ways. There is this underlying disregard for convention, i.e., an unorthodox drive... whence we don't fully know -- or at least in my case I don't know.

I am staggered by the last stanza. It really speaks to me. You have more than a way with words.

Reminds me -- I wrote a poem named A WAY WITH WORDS -- dedicated to this wonderful young poet I know -- a poet who knows not her own rare -- extremely rare -- natural ability. We struggle to let go of the ropes she never even held on to... sad she doesn't see it. Might tell her abt this website.

Anyhow, Black Ice is unto itself -- even among the handful of your poems that I've thus far read. Congratulations!

ahhhh... what a truth. Judgement and leaping to conclusions... the folly of mankind. I love the message.
