All Comments on 'Quarry'

I recognize the feeling ~

At times the words rush out

Faster than you can write;

Other times you have to fight to get them out

Kicking and screaming.

I had to read through this twice

To better appreciate the work you did

Tying together quarry's meanings;

You make the reader pay attention ~ good for you!

some times wrestling with words can be gradifying. I enjoyed your poem and its meaning.

"splitting stone from the doe-eyed quarry"

a suggestion drop the explanation from the bottom, let the reader discover, the aha effect

if you had another line with the other "quarry" at the end, would be even better still

Oh, BTW, I also write as "anonamouse" sometimes, note spelling

as if as if as if I never play

as you do and do

you go after your quarry

and in the first line I can follow

tracking and scanning you down to the pit

where we end in the splash and spray

I am gladder for surprises

explanations make and end of things

apologies not for style;

as you go you see how it goes

we take the ride you write us on.

How can poetry evoke such visual images as you do? Thanks for your wild brain, the bouncing of the ball from wall to stream to tree to floor. It's always fun seeing the colors in the black and white text.
