thanks!

Thank you, Zinnia. Bitter can be good, when hop bitterness balances malty sweetness in a fine beer. Do you mean 'the last' line in the poem? It's definitely meant to be a feel good poem. Check out my 'Billie's Threnody' for something different.

Beautiful. I love the last 2 lines.

You've got many creative ideas and scrumptious wordplay; internal rhymes, etc.

indeed. nice job.

sane? no. changed, yes. i have tried to express this, but i always feel like it comes out trite, so it stays in my notebook, where it belongs. this is masterful. kudos.

nothing like a good apocalypse to brightenm up one's day.

interesting look at the "art" of music in today's digitality. Makes you wonder about everything that's gone digital today. Has it lost feeling because it's all 1's and 0's now. You've struck my curiosity.

Damned amazing!

Mama can go on, but please kill me.

No wonder his name is TWISTED WIZARD! He is one twisted guy. But sometimes being twisted can have its advantages! Since i am one not to be talking about being twisted i give this poem a 5.

Zinnia, you are talented. Thanks for raising the bar on Poemranker.

Beautiful and moving

"the portraits of harbored silence" - great line!

I'm not much for Haiku, but I love this one!

fire, earth, water, AIR. then maybe self. if you're going to get elemental on us, that is.
