Wow—this feels like discovering a lost scripture of revolution and rhythm. 🔥 Wolff’s voice moves between mystical awe and social fury with such fluid grace. “Immortality” reads like a whispered secret from the cosmos, while “On Seeing the Garment Strikers March” could’ve been written yesterday—still pulsing with relevance and reverence.
Aw cheers Hasse - super appreciate it! Agree completely about Leaves Of Tea - each of the poems is a "leaf" and there are more from that series too (every poet made up their own name for the "very short poem" at the time - from ones that made perfect sense, like sketches or improvisations, to more poetic ones like mushrooms and bubbles, etc.). Haha - yeah, Immortality was definitely the main inspiration for my one :-) Glad that came through.
"too wise
to think"
Damn!
Ya that line gets me every time!
That one hit me too.

Exquisite!
Cheers Star - so glad you enjoyed them!
This one is really good. Your comment poem is also an absolute banger.
Aw cheers Fountain - thanks so much for the kind words! :-)
Lovely poems. "Leaves of Tea" was beautifully contemplative (or perhaps un-contemplative) and "Lovescape" was blissful.
Your poem was a beautiful complementary piece to "Immortality." A whole lot said with not a lot of lines!

Those titles remind me of Leaves of Grass. :)
Absolutely, great point - I think that's probably not an accident either - I imagine most of them are at least tangentially referencing Whitman.

doing invisible mending
there's all eternity
Lovely 🖤
Love your poem Dick. It all songs. The short lined poems are amazing!
Aw thanks Síodhna, super appreciate the kind words 🖤
"it’s all songs—
or none of it is
i know which i prefer!"
So do I!
Hehe - nice! :-)
Interesting poems, new on here, gothic feel to them.
Cheers for the comment Ivan! Much appreciated. Yeah, I can see what you mean.
