| The Jade Plant

2024-01-28
You have brought into the room and made me love the jade plant, the table, the pine tree, the lights, the rug, the planks, the beautiful bay window, the summer porch, and the woman who cared for them all. I think I could dream of this room as if I lived there and played out in the yard. Now, I miss them, and I have a sadness for what once was and the longing for times gone by.
I have been absent from Poetbay for almost a year. I've missed my friends and their poetry. I'm happy to find you here and read such a lovely piece from you, as is your way.

It is a crazy mixed up world. There are lots of words being fired off from lots of different people with opposing ideas from all walks of life. Somewhere amongst those words there will be lies, truths, and a mixture of both. I say write your thoughts, express your cares and concerns, and profess your opinions. The time has come.

That guy enters a lot of rooms and never the same way twice.
I enjoyed this very much.
I’m still visualizing each entrance and
thinking about my next venture along the hallways of life. 😄

Your words fall, like a white sheet on a brisk day, capturing a cloud within its billow.
At least that’s how I see it.
It’s a very nice feeling.
It’s good to read you again.

Tell Fernszy that this old female Yank appreciates poetry no matter the form, especially educational/cultural/historical rhythmic poetry. However, due to my lack of experience in Rap music, I will have to defer the oral reading of this to my 18 year old grandson. He’s much better at this than I. In the meantime, I will go on appreciating your fine selections of words, your clever rhymes, and of course the humor of it all. :)

In Central Florida, last Friday and Saturday my family was in the pool. Today, Wednesday, 17th of Feb., it’s raining and much cooler. However, the scent of orange blossoms is in the air.
Your snow has been our rain and fog. I have noticed the greening up of the grass and palm trees. I suppose that’s a sign of Spring here.
Here’s to Spring!

What a powerful picture you’ve created. The truth is both ugly and beautiful, strange and commonplace, dark and brilliant. The poetry is outstanding. I’m deeply touched by it all. Thank you for seeing what so many do not.

Amazing how few words
Written just so
Create such emotion
Such a physical reaction
That’s Poetry.
Thank you

I love the hope in this poem. It opened up the windows and doors to let the fresh air in and the stale air out. My mind was alive with visions of life and love, friendship and kindness. It was a warm sunny. It was Springtime after a very dark, cold winter. Thank you.

Your poem tells of your ways, your kindness, your attitude.
I enjoy reading about your life encounters. You’re a good storyteller. Thanks for sharing.

this is captivating. It causes me to want to stay here and just ponder the possibilities of my own designs or is it desires.
When we create, there are exchanges made from creator to creation, including our thoughts. I suppose.

I seldom do what I’m told so I’m tut-tutting. If this is inadequate, you must be naming the location (Inadequate) of the area you are describing in this beautifully written poetry.
When the perfect combination of the written word creates a spell to spark the mind to perform its magic, anyone can be transplanted anywhere to be and/or to see anyone or anything they allow themselves to imagine.
I said the above because you took me right there to beautiful Inadequate.

So much sadness but so beautifully written. Sometimes when our hearts are broken they tell our brains how to express the pain we feel in our brokenness. That's how poetry like this one is created.

Just keep on doing it, Ken. Writing, creating, expressing, is the poet. Art is amazing in that it reflects the inner most self. It takes courage to set it free and allow others to view it. At least that's my thought on it. :)

Ken, you can certainly tell a story with very few words. However, the words you choose are powerful in description and intense in their ability to create the atmosphere of the time. Thank you for sharing this history through poetry.

Thinking things through to the logic end is the better way of handling these situations. I'm imagine your wisdom has come through experience. Experience is a great teacher. Listening to the wisdom of others can be helpful as well. Thanks for sharing. 😊

We want to disconnect from people and the world because we are overwhelmed with society's ills and when we do, somehow we disconnect for ourselves. I guess we are made to commune with one another. Perhaps we should regulate how, who, when, where, and why we do this.
Your poetry is very good. I enjoyed it. It is very thought provoking.

I'm glad 'they' got away from it all as they rose to the top much like cream and sap. Too bad all of 'them' had to stay below with all the bodily fluids and such. I'm wondering about the warning.
If I'm on the wrong path, I'm sorry.

You were thoughtful. A woman must weigh her choices and make a thoughtful decision based on a thorough investigation into her options and the repercussions of her choices. You did that. Too bad the ant didn't have your options. If he had, you might have been crushed. So, you defended your home.
Well done in battle and in poetry. :)
