One In A Million

Hello Damian,

Ive been meaning to pay a visit to have a look at some of your writings. The core reason being that you mention Jim Morrison. Ive always been a huge fan of his poetry. Would have loved to have a word with him about writing his inspirations poetry and such. He was a gifted child!

Your poem reads to me like being at crossroads, to leave the room that constricts all hope is almost like turning into a chrysalis. Instantly made the Morrison phrase The scream of the butterfly return to me. Somehow I dived into this rather reflective side of this poem. The sword that keeps alive even the dead, Excalibur or the pen that can write speak shout scream, the word. I felt I also was diving into some riddles.

Anyways, there is music in your write! Weave on
greetings

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Rianne. Glad you liked the write. Huge, Morrison fan myself. I own all of his poetry books, and have read them many times. Love his lyrics as well. Huge, Doors fan. He bridged a gap for me. I started off as a lyricist. I'm influenced by lots of lyric writers. Poetry came later. lol. Though he identified as a poet, he was famous because of music. There for he was both, in my opinion. I don't know how much of his influence show up in my writes, but I know it's there. My two biggest influences are: Jim Morrison & David Lee Roth. Odd combination, I know. lol. I enjoyed your commentary, you're pretty spot on in the meaning. Sorry for the novel. lol. Appreciate you.

Why do I feel like there's a boatload of us latchkey kids around these halls? Anybody else need a map for the scars? If you're not still learning, you're not really living

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. I'd say your premonition of their being a boatload of us, is spot on. Exactly, living and learning kinda go hand in hand. Glad you dig the write. Appreciate you.

Dear DL,

For me, each line was its own poem. I like how you put this all together and made it flow. I looked at the picture after I read the piece and staring at the red flower fit perfectly all the individual thoughts in the write. Wonderful write. H🌷
