dense shimmers of hope
compressed strands daunting
illusory grandeur
arching beyond literal

obsessively tended
watering lovelies
silk-tressed vision
intensely visual splendor

fully formed beauty
walking heights of rope
flesh flowing past radiance
spins truth on its axis


the moment turns

Author's Comments

It's only right to follow a Daily Deviation-decorated piece with one that blows so hard its face is purple. This is one of those that hasn't gone through much revision as of yet and is definitely the submission I've thought most about deleting even before posting it.

A little different format than I normally practice and it's complete as posted, even with that last hanging line. Don't be afraid to tell me it's shit, but do be a sport and tell me why you think I should refrain from this particular style and version of shit in the future. In other words, tell me why.

There'll be a little blurb about it in the journal.

From all your other deviations I've percieved an individual focus; for this one I see none. It's too blank.

I like this one better than all your other ones. +fav

I think my only confusement (i don't care if that's not a word) is why it's titled curling--I got a totally different feel from it. But great job anyway.

Why are you doubting the syntax of this obviously wonderful piece? I love to see you vulnerable, My Friend.
I really like this and would like to see more of you raw and nakedw00t!
But seriously, it is a very good piece of work!
Also...........glad to see you back..........Missed youCrying

i'm not sure i would have understood it without the journal explanation, which is a bad thing, but i like, so that's a good thing :) (Smile)

i really like "dense shimmers of hope" and "the moment turns." the opening and closing were perfect.

i will paint you in silver. i will wrap you in cold.

The only thing I really liked was "spins truth on its axis" - the rest seemed flat. I acknowledge that you've got some decent word choices there, but there's just nothing to keep me interested. I'm not a big believer in reading one piece to understand another, so I've not read your journal about this (or any of your others, for whatever that's worth).

This seems like it has potential, but I think there are too many gaps left in it. Fill in the cracks and help me see what you see.

:iconfatelessmirror:

You start a fire in the mind to leave ideas, images, wantings...
But you set guides for them to be ruled by. The world of parallel abstract thought...

*rambles on*

This is an interesting style, but do you think it was easy to write?

:iconsumants:
Fill in the cracks...as ~wu-wei said

And then ~fatelessmirror says "You start a fire in the mind to leave ideas, images, wantings..."

The point is...this poem is too incomplete. In an effort to be abstract, you became empty. I'd like to see version 2...

Cheers

This line needs to go: intensely visual splendor

Other than that I see a framework with potential, and I really didn't see it as flat as I've seen described in the comments. I know that as usual I'm way off the mark but it seems to be a description (partly) of a woman - and fitting in with the "axis" line that Wu pointed out, I think works very well in that direction.

I don't think it's shit at all, but finish it. It is, as you said, definitely hanging right now. I'm voting "like" for what I was able to pull out of it for myself.

I read this one over and over, but I don't get it. So I'll let it slip. Too abstract for me.
