Aleksandra Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Dr.Con. I don't have words what to say. I am impressed and happy that I read poem like yours rich with expressions, phrases, sense, wisdom. Thank you so much for giving such a treasure.

rhymeguy Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Is this a new Dr Con? The last two works so different from what I am used to, yet so astounding. You seem to compare the universe and poetry as immense and undefinable; governed by laws know only to their creator. "Something out of not-nothing"- indeed! "circling elliptical descriptions the Laws unwritten declaring the Truth constant and certain" I just want to read that over and over until it seeps into my memory. rg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyv Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 I like how you build the poem around the "intergalactic telegraph," but I think I like something out of not-nothing and how the hole in the center/bends light/breaks gravity the most. The title captures the attention. Tony Quote Here is a link to an index of my works on this site: tonyv's Member Archive topic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
