“wheech past vesper
and behold the gleam that pends beyond” Love this line. I feel so bad for poor Samson. Great retelling of the tale of Delilah and Samson.

Great to hear the references so familiar to me, is the T.S. Eliot/ J Alfred Prufrock (insects pinned to the earth) or the others merely accidental, or just pure love of the form gleaming, a modern tip of the poetic hat, like the new rungs of the gods sacrificial ladder to heaven?

I’m a bit bummed now actually. The insects reference was completely of my own making, but if it’s been done before then I’m not half as clever as I thought I was! Hee hee! Still, we’re glad you visited with us and read our work. We really appreciate your support! 😀

As always, a pleasure to support other writers who carry the torchlight forward for another generation of fledglings to read and hopefully write their own. It’s easier than ever to get feedback and get published today…Good or crap, people are expressing themselves and that’s a good thing. Usually when you find a reference that’s not intentional it’s a memory of something you read that touched you deep in your consciousness and bubbles up from mind to keyboard and the homage is simply that. You’re quite clever! Don’t undersell it!

Now that I look at the poem again, it occurs to me that it could be interpreted either way. I think it would have to be about whatever the reader needs it to be about, Jamal. Thanks so much for visiting with us!

Haha.. that is great then. But I meant every word of it. Btw, is the name Delilah from the song by Tom Jones?
