Empty Chronicles

Feasting on the mulberry binder Lost in dreams and legends Deep within the shade of Pyramus and Thisbe Wisest not to bud Quickly into lines of Black and white, but For the force of Minerva’s night, Inspiration melts The crayon peace Of mind Trapped inside Blank pages, cold Press paper in a simple tag, I write “Bloom me mulberry”

Mmm, yes now this I like. 'Wisest not to bud', 'Inspiration melts', '"Bloom me mulberry"', so beautiful.
Absolutely lovely.

Why, thank you, Ranger!

Sadly, this is the best of my work and for there on out - it's all down hill. Lol.. In the meantime, while my muse sleeps beneath a morning glory bloom, I'll browse around.

I think you deleted my comment, if by accident then I don't know if anyone's told you that the red 'x' is the delete button, to reply click 'reply' (this sentence doesn't even remotely make grammatical sense...). If you know that already, disregard this poem. I've just seen a lot of people do it by mistake.
Post some of your other stuff anyway. People here will always give advice - and take it from me that the experience you get from this site will improve your poetry immeasurably. I had to take a 2 and a half year break from writing to get things right and recover from writer's block, all of a sudden things are starting to fall into place.
And if you've written something as good as this, you will write something just as good - if not better - in the future.
Welcome to poemranker!

Whoops... I sure did hit the red "x". Thank you for explaining what happened. Lol. I didn't realize I could delete someone else's response. See there, learn something new every day.

I hate to disappoint, Ranger and the rest of my stuff is sad in comparison. But mayhap I'll take a chance. Enjoying the site thus far!

Yeah, on your poems you can delete any comment you like, elsewhere you can delete your own.
Take the chance, you seem like the sort of person who can read criticism without taking offence (unlike a 16 year-old Ranger when he first joined poemranker...) - I promise you will get a lot out of this site!

Thanks for your encouragement, Ranger.

The second stanza's good, minus Minerva.

Not really my sort of poetry so I can't realy comment on whether it is any good or not, but it seems that a few more commas could be useful, and as a graecophile I would rather Athina than Minerva, but this is just my personal belief that the Greeks were more artistic that the Romans.

What is a mulberry binder? I thought binders just held paper.
[n/a] Scarlett › richa 24-Mar-06/7:38 AM Reply
Binders have covers and Mulberry is also a color.

interesting and nicely written.

i get the impression that the meaning is that you are expecting (spiritual? intellectual?) growth from having read the writings within the mulberry binder?

talk about food for thought!

all in all, very nice. please do write more...
