poetry matches the heart

Karma reaches out to strangle the antagonist

 

trolls rely on salty words

then become them

 

we are all Bilbo Baggins

in drag,

dragging our pens across a shire

of syntactical breaths

 

movement

 

no prose here,

just wizards whistling lines

 

gathering them together

for a journey

 

it's time to leave.

there are so many memorable and meaningful lines here jacob ... although I suspect there may be many possible interpretations .. it is hard to decide and say which of he several that spring to my mind I like and admire most ..

Not really sure what the poet meant...I can read this many different ways which makes this a great poem--a treat for my aging mind...:)

Trolls rely on salty words, then become them... I so wish I wrote that line about the ******* ******s
Despite never getting through the books or even the movies, do know how much of a pain in the ring they are. 😀
Effortlessly magnificent thoughts Jacob and I especially like the end being the beginning of another journey. The ending abrupt, like a book closing, but thankfully the readers know that it's a saga and will be continued.

You took me back many, many years mentioning Bilbao Baggins. He a character in the Hobbit had many adventures. I laughed at the thought of all us poets being him in drag.

Wizards whistling lines. I like that, but you make it sound so easy and poetry isn't for me. I have to work so hard at it. With you, you have a muse who is a wizard. A master I would say.

' .. dragging our pens across a shire - of syntactical breaths '

You put my average thought to shame, sir! You weave words, you craft thoughts and create literary relevance at the same time. A master class in how to.. ..

[jacob erin-cilberto]

No way, em...never could put your thoughts to shame...we write differently...and you present your style with such dexterity, always...But thank you for your kind words.

I am stunned again Jacob by your ability to turn words into volumes of golden, meaningful, poignant poetry with brevity and impact.
