~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

both virtual du jours were interesting
and the meals on wheels of thought were superficially challenging

but now they are the norm so I I’ll accept them
born from the inevitable reality of corporeal hunger, I guess

even the wannabes
can’t help but get caught in the flow

in the fallible tow of justifiable self-esteem
so deeply stunning and distinct, they desperately crave for it

you know, that very rare moment of buoyancy
levitating one to that a status of creative thought

not just floating above archaic, flawed expressions
straggling across lyrical integrity

there’s more activity in the unoccupied room
than in the vestibule of mirrors and voices

I’m probably at the wrong address
and need to leave so I can reevaluate my duress

"there’s more activity in the unoccupied room
than in the vestibule of mirrors and voices"

God, that is wise Jude. Love this poem. This is why real poetry is usually written in times of solitude and no care for what other voices say.

Hey Jude,
We always question our state of being, it's human and necessary. I love how you come up with phrases that just hit home in your poetry;
your last two stanzas are my favorite part of this poem!
I have an extra bedroom if you need to undress, oops I mean reevaluate your duress....

Much peace, light and love,
Amber

A little haven from the world, and unrestrained essence, does wonders for the soul of creativity. Your poetry delights.

Nah... just join me in the bathroom; bring the family: you can have the taps-end of the tub! LOL! :)

... there most certainly is and it would be hard to imagine you being 'fenced in' or 'cornered' and under 'duress', being so 'out there' with all your original concepts and thoughts. These two are great lines and I love how you come up with notions such as 'meals on wheels of thought' which seem to be nouanced against those 'archaic, flawed expressions'. Keep floating upwards, Senor. xx

Self examination opens many doors to creativity and possibilities overlooked. It is the fresh new face we see in the mirror after a restful night of sleep. Determination overpowers physical stamina with the compassion and convictions of forces beyond the realm of daily living. May peace and love be always with you. Jon Michael

Don't accept it, Jude, is my advice. Stay on your deeper plane, as it is a challenge to all of us how good your poetry really is, and a conviction in the face of mediocre poets.

you probably are at the wrong address when "friends" tried to remove your friend from the address. thought provoking and invoking, scrying on the mirror and the writing on the wall - hieroglyphic and cryptic...your poetry is as timeless and loyal as you are...

No, Jude, you're wrong -- they want you to 'think' you are at the wrong address. Reevaluate if you will; but... look on the map; and you will clearly see, the arrow - it says, "You are HERE." -- Jeff

Seems to contain a thought that floats above my feeble intellect but the poetry is very persuasive.
