[Critique Group 2] Leonard's comments on Joan'spieces

[tuchyner5 at aol.com]

Abide  meansthat poetry lives in, endures, stands, and many other things.   



In this case it abides  in living. 



It  can befound anywhere and everytwhere.  



It  can befound in the  homey scenes. 



That means in the normal and abnormal scenes athome.  



Inside the home, outside the home, and inbvetweenthe home.  



In other words , it is found everyhwhere.  



It only has to be recognized as poetry.  



If we extend this meaning , it can be found in goodscenes and bad scenes and inbetween 



There is no place we can look where we can’t findpoetry.

-----
The descriptions inthis piece are good. 


My favorits are:



A feathery cloud offlight.



Transmjutes to  a half a dozen  of black capped chicadees.



Flitters around thefuschia.




 



 



 


A fethery cloud offlight



Twitters past




 



 


Ascends to therooftop



Down to the grass




 


Transmutes into halfa dozen



Black-cappedchickadees 




 


Three flitaround  the fuschia



plum and ivory hornsblaring




 


Plum and ivory Hornsblaring. 



I have no idea wherethese came in or what they refer to.




 


Two to the bath



For a sip and quickcleansing




 


The solitary seekerDrifts away



His wings peddle



A deeper urge




 


Propelling himacross the porch



Into the twilightsun




 


This is thewhole point of the poem.  



The onewho  is urged on by a  deeper urge. 



The solitaryfigure who is looking for more than exists there. 



Who is on aspiritual quest.   



It is not thatthe others are lesser, They are lovely. 



They enhancethe environment.     



 they have the joy of what is. 



But that oneis a seeker that will propell him to discovery.
