The suggester says, "It's the incredible building rhythm he's created through a rough-ish metre & internal rhyme. ~chadwood describes The Opus Of The Everything as being like a jazz moment, but it's more frantic than that; it's like a racing heartbeat trying to leap out of his chest."

Literature Text

the ocean floor, the twisted sea and
all the flying jacket bees, and all

the flying birds and he, the one who
caught the glint of spring, who laid

it on the downy dew, the crispy green
of May fescue, who saw the plans of built

up lights that burn to light a thousand
pools of dripping rain and puddles lay

on any given night or day, the brick by
brick, the mortar spread, the snap of sugar

sweetly felt, the brine that made it
through the cloud, the opus of the

everything, the great and wide, the heat
of flame, the sun in cold but sunny sky,

the sound of when a child laughs,
the opus of the everything
It's a practice in imagery, in capturing a feeling. I often get overwhelmed at everything and don't know how to say it, so I guess this is my crack at it.

It's one of those "jazz" moments when you're listening to the right song, on the right day, which all the right stimulus around you.

It has been so painfully long since I've been able to relax enough to just write a poem. I will admit, this one was forced - a long and hard labor.

Amazing rhythm and the way you build it up is fantastic. This most definitely deserved the DD that it got.
