fear of crows i

it looks like you're questioning whether you really want to rush it, knowing your usual attitude towards death and the next(and maybe next and next etc.). reading your writes is like winding through a little bit of your head processes. very cool. thanks. [:

slowed down and selective stream of consciousness perhaps? glad you're enjoying these fragments :D

as usual, said it much more succinctly than i ever could. :D

I like the cynical take on an already-negative subject. Deft use of minimal words for maximal effect.

thanks.. i prefer minimal.. few words.. and simple words.. why write with a thesaurus in one hand and a pen in the other.. for one it will sound like you used a thesaurus and for two most won't know wtf you're even saying.. :D

I like this poem in preticular because the words in the perentheses remind me of voices in someones head. Like there is a sinister being talking him in and out of things. Love it. :)

interesting way of looking at how i wrote this.. i use parenthesis for things whispered or subdued or in the background.. an after thought.. something like that.. glad you love it :)

The best of your recent work, Nathan, this is beautiful, an adjective I use often, but if it doesn't apply to this poem, then I don't know where it does. Almost every line is a gem in and of itself, though I think my favourite was the door leading to another door bit.

i agree this is one of my better ones lately.. i had that stint of writers block for about a week or so then came out with crap for a few days.. or crap enough to call it crap :D glad you like my doors..

I love that line about crows and doves...like the idea of them being a gateway to something. They definitely have that feel to them, birds. The images in this piece are just amazing.

aw thx glad you like the imagery.. I'm happy with this piece.. yeah well birds like bugs, including dragonflies ;) are able to fly so maybe they're used as spiritual messengers like those homing pigeons are used to fly messages.. maybe birds and bugs are soul or other dimensional messengers too.. perhaps perhaps.. something to think about xxx

i like your septicism is composed very wisely and in an interesting way!

i try.. you're sweet.. ty :D
