"(A messenger of sweltering metallurgy
Working its machinations abstruse,
Tireless through the decades
Of gradual disintegration.)"
you must be reading alot, your poetry uses registers from so many fields, I wonder if the inspirations you get are just created for you, there must be a secret, could I be your student in the study of poetry. Once again this was a very original and nice post from you @d-pend
Hi @crystannson, thanks for the comment. I haven't been reading much recently, but I used to read voraciously, mostly science fiction, esoteric/spiritual writing, and philosophy/science. Actually I'd like to get back to it! I also love Shakespeare and old literature of all sorts.
My recommendation to anyone in the vein of poetry is to draw inspiration from EVERY aspect of your life - don't let any barriers stand in the way. Find what makes you unique in the synthesis of the disparate elements that define you as a being.
You're welcome anytime :-) Thanks for reading my poetry.
