bending signs

Conceived a dream = Many, many signs.*

I believe every place does say something, to you, Tara. Grateful you're our medium. *****

*

The last stanza's my fave.

I feel both sad and hopeful reading this. *

Thank you all.

* I like that opening line a great deal.

*

That longing to have meant something along the way.

Magnificent poetry. "*"

Lovely weight to these lines.

Thanks all!

I like it.

Yes this one resonates closer to some place I supposedly knew once. How can I qualify that obscurity? Because the words inspire. *

This is very elegant. Simply written and compressive without lapsing into sentimental cliché.

I love this.

Amongst the many great lines:

'Caution: jars of memories float between fallen forks and knives.'

Wonderful final verse.

Thanks Ellie.

"Beware of open diaries and book blight." Wow. One suggestion: perhaps you don't need "Here is where he broke her heart," ? -- all the action conveys the implied heartbreak. Plus 'forks and knives' is the 'cut.' I love that is so clear-eyed, rather than sentimental. A really fine work.

Philip, thanks! Just saw your comment and suggestion. Makes sense. Appreciate it very much.
