déjà brew
The essence of what was shared
emitting from its aromatic brew…
in spaces we once knew, together
no lunar phase could eclipse
this regnant cue
is déjà vu.

Red B. Keshner,
I admire your particular style of poetry, your creativity in this regard. Your allusions, your hints, your hidden clues invariably make your poems interesting and exciting and nothing ‘off the shelf’ or ‘mainstream’.
The clever twist between "déjà brew" and "déjà vu" ties the poem together perfectly, blending sensory memory with the feeling of repetition. The "aromatic brew" evokes a familiar experience that stirs the senses, while "déjà vu" captures the eerie sense of reliving a past moment. Through this connection, you convey how the essence of shared experiences lingers, returning unexpectedly, much like the haunting sensation of having been there before. The line "no lunar phase could eclipse / this regnant cue" reinforces how these memories remain undisturbed by time, always ready to resurface. It’s a beautifully layered reflection on how the past continues to echo in our present. Marvellous!
Regards,
Rolph

@Rolph David 🌷I esteem you with greatest gratitude at the depth of consideration and the thoughtful effort applied in engaging this poem. It parallels the enviable phenomenon that exists rather momentarily during an invigorating poetry class discussion. 🌷You are much appreciated ( rbk ) 🙏🏻🕊
