Remainders

This is such a beautiful poem, Magic. I love the metaphor of the graphs and equations. Extremely effective and they suit the mood of the piece so well. This stanza brought a smile to my lips. 'The disrupted symmetry of a raised eyebrow never escaped you – within seconds you had the solution.' My husband always says that one can tell exactly what a woman is thinking by observing her eyebrows and it would seem, he was right;-) Hope Michael likes this too. I am sure he will.

I really enjoyed this Magic, one of your best, for me. I loved the stanza that Tina has highlighted, I'm sure this will impress Michael and put a smile onto his face as it has mine. Beeme XX

MistakenMagic Beautifully explained I'm sure Michael knows especially the last 3 words. well done julie x cavalcader (:-

You in a poetic drought? Never dear Rebecca! You are always full of original ideas which are the bases for your well-crafted poems. This is no exception: a delectable declaration of love woven with clever metaphors. Very well done. Luigi xxx

have you noticed that even the comments left on your works are getting more poetic? just an observation. perhaps, you're not in the midst of a drought so much as crafting more thorough, well-defined and exquisite poetry than before. so maybe it takes longer. maybe it takes more effort. but the end result is pure you turned up to 11. just to be clear, and in an effort to write an unnecessarily long comment, i believe this to be one of your best. it's simple and complex. it's happy and sad. it's damn good and damn good and damn, you are good... has this gone on long enough, yet? jason (rogue half-rhyme) xxx

This is a beautiful poem. Anything mathematical is an enigma to me! xx

Brilliant... I could connect with this one completely. Nice. "Yet there was always one look in my eyes that you couldn't calculate; the gaze that, like long division, didn't have an exact answer – so you never attempted to find the remainders …" These lines are beautiful. Vidit
