Author notes

Undercurrents ever-present...

My pen line kept flowing
repeatedly, beneath the surface,
emphasizing depths still to explore,
subconscious taking the upper hand, paradoxically.

In a list

Words come alive when answered in kind.

      I would concur that YOU have a mind to dare!!!

      Right, dear Pisces!
      How much we miss---
      not being fully aware...

    I think that communication without reservation is so very important. If we can't echo the depth of our mind, then why to communicate at all? At some point we must let subconscious take over our voice, then we can satisfy our minds' needs, even if just for times in the now and then
    I like the way your thoughts roll, and simply love your drawings.

      Ah, thank you, Mari!

      You always bring out
      such an interesting aspect
      in your comments.
      Yes, brave we must be,
      or why be?

      And we must respect
      the all-powerful
      subconscious!

    In summary... We are the "main actors" in 'daring the minds"...to interact, converse, communicate to whatever circumstances or to every chance we might have to express our thoughts that "need" to be reciprocated in return.

    Hope I was right in this analysis about your poem, Mumsy.

    Hello to you again.

      Hey, summer, good to see you!

      "Main actors"--great thought,
      for are we not all actors
      on the stage of life,
      looking for that
      reciprocation?

      Nice of you to share your thoughts, summer

    WHISPY THOUGHTS

    This sketch reminds me of your brain in particular Aesthete.
    the whisps are little neurons of thought weaving and whisping from one side to the other.
    Whereas most creative people use one specific side of the brain
    You use both the logical and the creative sides.
    I find your poetry so very logical and thought provoking...it always makes me think

      Ah, Moony, but that right brain
      really asserting itelf, trying
      to take control!

      Love your interpretation--
      "the whisps are little neurons of thought weaving and whisping from one side to the other."

      And a mind to dare---
      descriptive of the strength
      you show---daily!

      Love and hugs to you,

      M-C

    You are finding depths to human interaction, levels that are always present at one degree or another. It's like when I write fiction, it's not enough to state something, you must show the motivation, the psychological, philosophical reasons why characters do what they do, that is where the richness is, beneath the surface.

    The big curl (in your drawing) is the flow that comes from your brain, the small one is what comes from mine.

      Keystone, indeed your fiction
      descends to depths
      and arises to highs,
      manipulated by a complicated mind.

      Smiling at your interpretation
      of the swirling strokes, but
      take note that the smaller
      is quite daring, sharply pointed
      at its core, ready to spar!

        Me ready to spar? I learned that I'm just a rock 'em, sock 'em robot and when I spar there's a chance I'll get my block knocked off, I prefer to hide me thoughts and just put on a smile.

          Like the scary but gentle Herman,
          who looks so handsome in
          the avatar?

            Ah, you are too observant. I shall remember to be careful around you, hide things better.

            I was looking for a photo of Herman to show MariGoes who never heard of him. I kind of thought Herman was like me, a big harmless oaf.

              But didn't his warm love, his innocence
              somehow always save the day?

              Somehow, I, the optimist, had a soft spot
              for Herman.

                You are of course right. I like Herman too and Fred Gwynne himself seemed like an interesting guy. When I grow up I want to be just like Herman Munster.

                Ah you are an optimist...add that to my notes!

    almost has the feel of a mantra to it, could be i guess, lots of words to live by in here. i like the internally rhyming lines that close it, ends the piece on a lilting meter. very nice!

      Conversation...on many stages,
      guised in many phases.

      The give and take charactristic
      of rapid conversation ruled
      the words as they spilled out,
      but allowed the undercurrent concept
      to show thru. The closing just
      wanted to be, breaking the
      mantra-like form.

      Thanks for exchanging thoughts, loper.

    your creative writing-style reminds me of a precious friend of mine ... your lucid and playful mind is much like his ... I love the way you give birth to your poems ... you are a poetic alchemist ...

    Personally I think the overt rhyming took away from the experience.
