RE: The Night & its Bewitching Might — Where Poets Dream & Cry (Original Poem)

in #poetry7 years ago

Simply masterful, my friend. It flowed so naturally. I would love to hear it recited, have you ever considered posting simple readings to @dsound? It's quite easy to use and oftentimes will support those posting on the service with its generous delegation.

But back to your piece: the wordplay was simply stunning. I love all the internal rhymes and the small tweaks (violet, violent) as well as the alliteration. For some reason, the word "candelabra" felt like a pivot point in the piece - its sound stood out to me.

This conjured the mood of a deep dream state: wonderfully abstract and subtly nightmarish, yet glimmering with a brighter sense of mystery. Thank you for this creation! It's one I will continue to study.

Wow, this made my day, d-pend, thank you! Emboldened by your warm encouragement, now, I want to try dsound (have I shared with you my readings on SoundCloud - mostly of poems by others I admire: https://m.soundcloud.com/yahia-lababidi)

I admit I’m a bit of a technophobe/clutz but, hopefully, I can figure out how to record this poem - if nothing else, as a small gift for you 🙏🏼

Many thanks, again, for your close attentions; I love everything you say and how you think poem rewards rereading (this is high praise & I know you’re someone upon whom little is wasted...)

Forgive harried response, operating on little sleep and must run out, soon, to see the Pope!
