Mikhail, I had just come online and read your bit on What's New page and came straight in here to Collective Poems. My only complaint is that the book is too short!!! There are too few of your masterpieces here yet.

 

I have read as you requested and I really have enjoyed my ponder within your words here, and yes, they may be personal in nature and subject inspiration, but are so well composed that they should be posted on the main board, as many may identify with your thoughts, in certain respects. I like what you say in this...and how you say it.

 

The thought of stepping out of the ratraced war-zone of life and returning as bird or fish or anything which is independant (to a greater degree) of man's interference and influence on our destiny is appealing, and I agree...we do not need the superficial window-dressing in our passing. At most, just a commemorative note that we last lay there, should suffice, for those who wish some tangible evidence. (I know when I go, the place I would most wish to remain (with my best flying high, lol) is in someone's heart)

 

Please post this, Mikhail, where others may also pass comment, Zy
