I cannot speak to the former owners other than they are just that, previous owners ....The poetry.com domain got picked up by the Stands4 folks in early 2021 and from what l gather, our running much better than the old rendition, --but it is different than probably what you remember, l’m sure. And yes, it is moderated....

Don’t fret just yet....Though these incentive bonuses are a brand new thing (and I don’t know much about them) I do know a little about the dynamics of the site and it just may be that the master site has not been fully updated to reflect your progress....in my experience, it seems that if you do anything new after 8pm (roughly) it won’t get recorded until the next day l, so just bear with them and be looking for a notification or email.

l believe the ‘you’ the poem is directed at is the reader (in a rhetorical manner) such that, whichever stanza’s conditions may apply to YOU, you may identify with most. You decide for yourself which ‘you’ you may be or become while you can.

This feels also, like a dignified testament on reflecting for reflection's sake. But it delivered a message I was hoping for -for the most part after an appealing trip through the speaker's mind....I notice your use of repetition in some of your others but deemed this one to have one of the stronger endings due to the device.

....also, this poem called to mind the Zak Brown lyric, "it's a winding road when you're in the lost and found." Not sure if you're familiar ,but I thought it was apropos.

Great lyric-style poem...(I'm judging by the text and not inferring this could be a personal account).. visceral, with clever rhyming, while still delivering a message...I'm sure there is a particular audience out there who can identify with this.

LoL, thanks for sparking it! This a cool form to experiment with; if you do it right the closing stanza completes itself like a solved rubik’s cube.

Magnificent. The best poetry describes and illustrates and this does not come up short.

Kaytee So happy to give you a push! Sometimes that’s all we need to start creating again after a lull. I’ll be watching for your new pantoum....

Indeed, I also found Bishop’s work sensational and had a feeling it would appeal to you --it’s kind of a pity this site has so few of her poems featured.

The ‘Poet’ themed one wasn’t too hard.

Sorry I’m only now getting around to reading some of your stuff but l found this one very nifty....you definitely possess a more lyrical style. This one reminded me of a sestina poem (the rigidity almost forces you into a circular pattern of language) but it can be transformative the poetry that can result. --I invite you to check out the poem, A Miracle for Breakfast by Elizabeth Bishop, l think you will enjoy it!

It seems this is one of those quotes attributed to more than one author with varying versions but it looks like it may have been in existence prior to Stevenson.

Definitely a message I get behind.
Great vehicle to drive home the message too.
I should be taking notes on your approach...

Thanks for the praise and your observations.

On this subject, l was actually doing some reading about cosmology, quantum theories, and the computational dynamics’ view that the universe is basically one big computer processor compiling data. My thinking is, that data can logically be manipulated and so the phenomenon of reversing the aging process was always achievable. It's Interesting that you mention revolutions: it seems that every successive human revolution has interfaced, arisen, and been born out of the previous ones as the progressing technology and discoveries provide a continuing foundation. And this notion that the universe is a computer has been around for over a century now, so it stands to reason that set the groundwork for the advancements we’re seeing now (like my poem’s topic and AI, as you pointed out).

I am pondering submitting something a little more ‘down to earth’ though, because honestly, l knew this had no shot to place. I do like to gravitate beyond the laymen realms! I’m noticing there is always a genuine, humanity-esque aspect to the winning poems or a poetic-gimmick that sets it apart and collectively wins them over. I’m starting to think I have to get more creative or else just sit back and continue to spectate in these contests. I continue to enjoy being a part of them though and the temptation and curiosity to see if someone may respond to my style remains. Thanks for being a sounding-board among folks who maybe aren’t overly fascinated with ‘fringe’ topics. Incidentally, my Mother is having some health issues so my participation in forthcoming ones may not be a forgone conclusion.
I thought ‘Candy Land’ was unique and certainly possessed that IT FACTOR that I’m speaking to.
Catch you around ~

I wanted to comment here, l had some trouble finding this poem again though l, as l had forgotten the title. I felt this one stood out among the several in the contest on the theme of growing old and losing one’s vibrancy. I enjoyed this one more than the structured rhyming ones and was close to voting for it. Except for the second line, “long gone are the days when the earth’s heavenly ____ lays,” --it seems a word may have been omitted there as l found it confusing to interpret-- it had a great message and was not bogged down by meter or forced rhyming.
Sorry to say these contests are very competitive, and it is unfortunate we can only vote once. But good effort here!
