Hymn to Earth

Nicely rendered...

Oh really, how so

Crazy good!
Excellent write.

Oh, really? How so

Death is a silence coming for us all. I like how you  used the deer to stir our own
introspection of death.

There we go :)

Loved the free buffet line!
Amazing write.

Thank you

Mother Earth speaks to us, we are children refusing to listen

… I’d kinda argue that this whole series of poetry I’m writing is me deeply listening. But that’s just me. 🙃

Disgustingly, absurdly wonderful.I don't understand why the world has yet to beat a path to your door.  I spent the day hanging out with the eclipse and people who would prefer any poem of Edgar Guest to any poem you might ever write. Perhaps that's why of a sudden all is bleak. Reading your work is a bit like staring at the sun, unprotected, coming away with dots dancing before one's eyes and just that sudden whoosh of an elevator falling ever too quickly. Thrill. Chill.  
 
Your poetry is a caution sign with bullet holes. Dangerous, irreverent, Deeply holy. Relevant.

Thank you for the list of adjectives that I appreciated.

However let’s unpack “Your poetry is a caution sign with bullet holes. Dangerous. Irreverent.”

Yep. I liked that. I mean who wants to be vanilla.

Thanks for reading

Your poems tend make me think and I enjoy the details woven into them, such as the eye socket, half-sinking, etc.  I can visualize the scene.

Made me think how everything is in motion, even though in the moment it appears static.  How pretty much everything returns to the earth at some point; only to be used as building blocks for a new creation be it organic or inorganic.  The last part of the poem with the 2 parts green 10 parts silence - is there a significance to the ratio? Or are you the poet using it for emphasis?  The 10 parts silence I interpret as, there is a lot going on behind the scenes that we (the observer) normally don't notice in the moment.

In conclusion, I enjoyed the poem.

I appreciated the fuck out of this comment. Thank you. Because it shows you actually read it and took it in and I will always find time to celebrate that.

Well done on spotting the numbers. Ten gold stars for you.

It was a bit of a nod to Arthurian legend if I’m honest. Arthur is said to subdue 12 rebel princes and to win 12 great battles against Saxon invaders. I wrote this particular piece when I was down south visiting family, strongly associated with that particular legend, so the number 12 was strongly in my mind at the time. I simply divided the number into fractions of above and below. So yes… a lot going on behind the scenes was indeed what’s going on below us. In the Earth. Under the surface. The ten parts we don’t see.

Very happy you enjoyed it. Thank you kindly.

to pour fuel into the abyss"
