brooding by ~inhoc:iconinhoc:

Categories Literature > Poetry > Family Life > Open


At the Rothschild gallery
photographs of filmstars long-faded
lined the polished corridors carefully

But the real luxury that wound
warm rope around us that afternoon
was a crop of children in the garden

who ridiculed the gravity around them
they gave us a hummingbird smile
to follow us home through the frowning town

I don't know... this poem speaks to me about something I don't get from the world. The image is true, but the reaction... I can't relate to the reaction. Nonetheless, a very nice poem. Congrats on the DD, as well.

The lack of comments is probably due to the lack of patience. It's easier to look at a picture than to read a poem any day of the week. But I'm glad to see that the poets of DeviantART are being recognized.

Poets and writers are artists like any photographer or sculptor is. :rose:

Nice, 'ridiculed the gravity around them' so like children, congrats on the DD. :)

Did you know that:
E^2 = p^2c^2)+([<delta>m^2]c^4.
which implies that:
E= [mc^2]/[<sq. root> 1-(v^2/c")].
when p=0 (in eq 1, or 2, whichever you find simpler)
E=mc^2........
(In reality, p can never=0, so E should, realistically not be =mc^2, )

As a matter of personal respect I have never quoted anyone I did not think was more clever than myself which has, until today, made me seem very foolish.

well I like all the cute little connections
it really is a perfect snapshot of that moment of realization
I know what you're talking about in this poem, though.

I honestly don't care.
