All Comments on 'The Landscape of Poetry'

because yes poetry moves in its small way to a wider completion. The formatting works well too to move the poem in a way that fits the rolling water image. "shining sea" caught me briefly because, well probably because of the last line of America the Beautiful, lol, so it came off cliche to me--another modifier would seem fresher, I thought, but that's really really a nitpick in what is a lovely poem. Thank you for posting it. :)

The alliterative nature of your description seems quite appropriate for the purpose of the metaphor. I like the blended ideas acknowledgement and the final touch of recycling.

Now are we going to see a poem about a "Muse Monsoon",

or a "Dearth Drought"?

I agree with the other commenters before me, you draw everything possible from a great metaphor to draw a wonderfully vivid picture. I enjoy your work, K.

This is such pretty work. Every time I read it, I love it more.

Beds for intercourse. I knew I could count on you! Brilliantly written, as always.

I already have one of your poems in my Favs, The Lighthouse keeper and this one is right up there! Thanks,
