Well put Kyle and it was a privilege to see you perform at Fire and Dust.
I'd like to think that in years to come there will be someone out there writing a similar article to what you have just written but instead of Jonathan Davis they will be citing Kyle McCall Wilson as their pivotal point.
And in my book, you're way more inspirational than I have ever found the lead singer of Korn!
Looking forward to hearing you again.

We campaign in poetry, we govern in prose, we think in poetry, we work in prose, we fly on poetry, we crawl in prose, we love in poetry, we fight in prose, we break rules in poetry, we make rules in prose... not for nothing is the word for beauty poetic or lyrical. And the word for mundane prosaic.
Great article... I would argue art should not be put into boxes - the question “is it a poem?”, like “Is it art?” Should be secondary to “does it move or touch or challenge me?” M

I watched a young boxer, today, describe the desire to dream of his mother who had passed--for her guidance, that he felt so alone without. It seemed he'd been on a long losing streak, having lost the one person whom he wanted to make feel proud.
I might be somewhat off from your intent, but I believe profound experiences such as those we share with loved ones are often stored in the language/symbolism of the subconscious and have the capability of appearing unexpectedly--that's what this says to me.
a very touching piece of writing, Jon,
Rachel

Emotional and effective. As TC observes: eloquently expressed.
How quick the passing of the years;
Best to remember laughing so hard
It brought us close to tears.

I've been watching Showtime's THIS AMERICAN LIFE and found a particular segment very poignant and strongly relevant to the human experience I was trying to convey through the post...
Though it may not be immediately apparent as to why it's so, I found it so touching that I wanted to find a way to include it, here.

Jon My Mum died about a year ago. I don't think about her every day as perhaps some might, or think that I would. But I do have occasions such as you have described when I think deeply about my relationship with her. And your poem has brought about such an occasion.
A sensitive piece Jon.

Your poem reminded me of this song, Jon. In it, he talks about his father.
You did well with this. ?

I sense here a sort of compulsion in your poem Joanna. A sort of emotional detachment while in an intimate environment expressed in a sort of staccato voice. Powerful thoughts indeed. Congratulations on winning POTW.

I think that you carry the shadow of your parents where once you bathed in their light, but it can be a strong feeling indeed. A simple eulogy Jon.

Wow. I'm speechless.
Although it hurts to hear such deep words I love the purity and vulnerability in this.
Regardless of that. I hope you will feel ok soon and your heart will be mended ?
