a prose poem

maybe your next nothing will be Something.
it's a spirited inspiration...

ah, that would be something!  
...hopeful and kind of you to say so Mr.Feddeler  
 
 
thanks ^~^

Umm, this is a poem to be repeatedly read and pondered. It provokes so many ideas and profound questions. Bravisima!

i suppose it is cryptic :P  
thanks for the lovely praise tho  
 
n' im happy to see it made your reading list :D

It is cryptic and I enjoy that quality because it compels the reader, at least this one, to apply the message to one's own life experience.

A nought to shout about - cool write

Thank you Mr.Whale ^^

You will trade warmth for safety ...
Isn't safety a warm feeling?

Umm, I read this poem various times and every time I sink deeper into its depths. It's really special.

hmm, thought provoking question.
i suppose it is for the most part, but safety in this context could also be looked at as stability...and warmth as something temporary. If that makes sense.

..feel like it's an honor to have something of mine be read more than once
thank you for taking an interest..and the add ^~^

If we weren't interested in other poet's poems for what would we be here then? I like to read deep stuff. And yours is deep :-).

A very solid pondering of the mind
these words do invoke, that's one of the main ingredients  which makes for a good writer of pretty much anything especially poetry! :)

thank you! i respect that ^-^

Thanks Gabriel ^-^

Made me think and feel and was very well written. Lovely.

lovely comment/reaction to a poem, thank you

This is a little gem from start to finish.
If I were to attempt to improve it, the only thing that I personally would change is the line breaks in the last 3 lines, but that is my own personal taste and you and others may not see/hear it as I do...it is your write after all :-)

ah, yes...line breaks, i'd definitely play around with them if i ever muster up the courage to read this poem again(i have a difficult time reading what i've written after it's wrote)

but thanks for the constructiveness!
..hope to use it some day ^-^

Umm, this poem is like a prism. I have come back to read it several times...each angle flickers something new :) LR

you have!? :D  
when i like a poem i do pretty much the same thing  
 
..what a perfect compliment :)

Succinct, poignant and the phrasing works perfectly.
A lovely write.

thank you! ^~^

Very beautiful poetry...

:)    
:D  
XD  
 
(thanks!)

Certainty is a good thing. Sometimes we have to make choices to get the certainty we desire. I take it you've learned from the past. That is what I got from this poem.

well, then you understand mister ^-^

I'm thinking wine, sugar, oil...  
 
You say very little... sharp, acute, baritone  

But you expose the reader's imagination to a barrage of emotions and meanings...  
 
Betrayal, captive, freedom...  
 
Awesome photo! A perfect accompaniment to your excellent poem.

Mister Alexander Case, thank you for your kind comment and yet another reading list entry <3
