Hierophant…interpreter of sacred mysteries and arcane principles…thank goodness for my dictionaries…lol I need them when I read Max Gatrell :O) Not much on the soothsayers…went once out of curiosity…that was more then enough for me…very well written =O)

Max Gatrell in reply to loramae’s comment, 4 months ago

I do apologize. The Hierophant is also the 5th card of the Tarot. I forget that not everyone reads the cards ;)

Thankyou for reading,.

Omg, you just have to go one up on me and prove that you can write something soooo much classier than I can with all of those big, pompous, pretentious words don’t you Max! Dayaaam you’re good. ;-)

No way classier. I adore your Method (not Style) Which Pompous words this time? lol

M

JenniferB, 4 months ago

not that I don’t generally prefer things to be… big.

JenniferB, 4 months ago

every word that has more than 2 syllables in it, you know how badly I suck at Maths Maxy. ;-)

JenniferB, 4 months ago

To be serious… It is a wonderfully articulated poem, the words slide like slithers of ice melting on the tip of my tongue…

Max Gatrell, 4 months ago

Jen you amsuse me, you’re far more eloquent than I could ever hope to be.

M

Max Gatrell, 4 months ago

No Jen, i’m afraid this one has to stay lol

Max Gatrell in reply to JenniferB’s comment, 4 months ago

Why not a Nymph into a Mosquito? ;-)

M

JenniferB, 4 months ago

Lol… I only know one other life cycle and that’s the Tadpole, so there goes my analogies for evolution… I sucked at science too, with the exception of human bilogy… ;-)

JenniferB, 4 months ago

JenniferB, 4 months ago

Max Gatrell in reply to JenniferB’s comment, 4 months ago

JenniferB, 4 months ago

Really great work you make me feel inadequate, with your use of language, well done

Max Gatrell in reply to papadad’s comment, 4 months ago

Never feel inadequate Papa, you’re stuff’s great aswell mate. We’re all doing our own thing.

M

papadad, 4 months ago

Only joking I actually feel quite happy with my work, I like to try and vary it and cover a wide range of subjects as you do thanks agaIN

Max Gatrell in reply to papadad’s comment, 4 months ago

To be honest Papa, I wish my work was more varied, I tend to pick up poetic habits which I find quite difficult to break.

M

P.S. i’d be happy if i’d written your stuff aswell ;)

papadad, 4 months ago

Thanks Max your to kind

Max I usually don’t like “diddle-de-dum” poetry
[You know the rhyming every second row neat 8 -7 syllable rhythm]
Yes I know I write them too … but only as fillers while my mind is conjuring up more difficult tasks and I try really hard not to let the rhyme force the line or the line force the rhyme either!
But then to read any poetry with such beautiful language as you use is a sheer pleasure!
Thank you :o)

Max Gatrell in reply to adgray’s comment, 4 months ago

Thankyou for reading it. To receive comments such as these makes the writing all worth while ;)

M

Max Gatrell in reply to papadad’s comment, 4 months ago

Anytime Papadad. If you get the chance i’d be honoured if you read my poem ‘Yonder Mountain’ it’s one of my favourite pieces.

M

papadad, 4 months ago

Will do,it will be a pleasure, max

Max Gatrell in reply to papadad’s comment, 4 months ago

Thankyou. It’s one i’m rather proud of.

M

adgray, 4 months ago

I’m goner go read your piece d’ resistance too :o)

Natella2020, 4 months ago

Oops, I thought I had commented on this already! Why did you remove your six-worders, the first two lines stand so well alone!

Max Gatrell in reply to Natella2020’s comment, 4 months ago

Wow I can’t believe you noticed that :) To be honest I originally started off with those Two ‘6 word things’ but I realized I had the potential to include them in a larger piece, hence this ensued.

Thankyou for your attention.

M

Natella2020, 4 months ago

This is a nicely written poem, and the six worders fit together nicely. I liked them alone also, they seemed to echo in the empty space. :o)

Max Gatrell in reply to Natella2020’s comment, 4 months ago

To be honest, it did sort of pain me when I removed those Two from my list, but I thought it was unecessary to have them aswell as this poem. But I did like them as single statements.

lovely writing again…almost feel like i travel back in time when I’m reading your poems…
...do you read tarot….and runes …Max…?

Max Gatrell in reply to Care’s comment, 3 months ago

Cheers Care, I do indeed read cards and runes ;)

M

Care, 3 months ago

interesting…I have some cards…not overly good at reading them…have a lot of books on tarot…runes…etc…fascinating subject really… : )

Max Gatrell in reply to Care’s comment, 3 months ago

i’ve spent more time than I like to admit reading those sorts of books, but I love it, i’m fascinated by metaphysics and the occult, which cards do you have?
