AUTHOR STATEMENT:
My poetry looks to positively explore human potential, with an emphasis on love, spiritual growth and self awareness. It is very important to me that my work remains as open, accessible and as simply expressed as possible. My influences vary from the great traditional English visionary romantics through to the distillation of thought and leanness of expression offered by the Japanese haiku tradition, the shining examples of Rilke and Gibran – as well as (being a fully committed free verse poet…) the later technical breakthroughs achieved by leading Scottish concrete poets Ian Hamilton Finlay and Edwin Morgan.
WHAT THE CRITICS SAY:
“To write and sell poetry at a profit these days is a minor victory and a major achievement. Scott’s words gently unlock and force you to face and look at the world with a little more optimism. There are moments of deep joy and others, which take your breath away with simple incredible honesty”
G. White
“Scott Hastie’s verse is sympathetic, humanistic and positively affirmative. Accessibility is the touchstone of all Hastie’s output. The spiritual element in his writing is clear.”
G.E. Jones
“Scott writes meditative, reflective poetry that is steeped in the traditions of English verse. Concise and richly evocative, he should be widely read.”
R. Godwin
“Via an invisible gilded chain of perception, Scott Hastie generously leads us through an enthusiastic re-invention of the possibilities of new experience. His inspired words bestride the world with such ease, touching the deepest sensibilities of human beings everywhere.”
Sahar Tavakoli
YOUR COMMENTS
John Lysaught on New Poem – A Love Poem
The breadth of our caring is imperfect and inconsistent, but before I conclude
about my impact, let a friend tell me what I have meant.
Munia Khan on New Poem – A Love Poem
Yet another rare work dear Scottie. I love the amazing use of powerful imagery which made this a real gem. Love this Scott. Excellent work.
Adda Leah Davis on New Poem – A Love Poem
Dear Scott, This is a lovely poem and especially so for me. I keep searching for words to describe these feelings that you have so eloquently expressed. Perhaps this will help me find some closure.
Rall on New Poem – A Love Poem
Sad and beautiful. Love grief regrets heartache..all part of the human story.Congratulations on the publication of your new book of poetry.
Joel on New Poem – A Love Poem
“As Breathless,
I stand in the midst
Of your beauty still.” – would that we all be so lucky as to be in the presence of breathless beauty.
Rosemary Nissen-Wade on New Poem – A Love Poem
So heartfelt.
Beverley Crawford on New Poem – A Love Poem
In later years it is often that regrets gather, and we have so much less forgiveness for ourselves as we offer others. Beautiful poem, Scott.
Rommy on New Poem – A Love Poem
We all are capable of making the mistake of loving someone the way we think they need to be loved, and overlooking what it is they are telling us they need. And it’s heartbreaking when we realize we’ve inadvertently hurt someone we love.
Chrissa on New Poem – A Love Poem
A poem to shake one out of busyness–meditative and lovely.
Magaly Guerrero on New Poem – A Love Poem
The depth of the speaker’s longing is nearly overwhelming. As I read, I kept wondering how anyone could live with all that wanting and still have energy left to breathe. Then the closing came breath, and things felt just right.
Collen Redman on New Poem – A Love Poem
I especially like ‘to cup the essence of your heartache’ and thinking about ‘sacred chances’ rather than second chances (or second fiddles, ha!).
Magical Mystery Teacher on New Poem – A Love Poem
I love how this poem opens with a celebration of human capabilities, for we all have them!
Gillena on New Poem – A Love Poem
You begin in humulity this love story with nature and end with awe.
A very beautiful journey.
dsnake on New Poem – A Love Poem
breathtakingly beautiful and haunting. If only there are no regrets. 🙂
Ron Lavalette on New Poem – A Love Poem
Don’t know how I missed this wonderful work 1st time around.
It’s all good; I think I’m in Ken G’s corner, zeroing in on those ‘breathless’ lines. Salute!
msjadeli on New Poem – A Love Poem
Makes me wonder more about this beautiful though brief love and the words he was not able to speak. It rings with earnestness and wistfulness.
Don MacIver on New Poem – A Love Poem
This really hits home for me, Scott, as going through a divorce brings about a finality, and in many ways, so many references of reconciled sentiments that typically follow the pain and anguish of a failed relationship, or one otherwise lost.
We are human and thus vulnerable to misgivings and perhaps short-sightedness when it comes to terms of affection and the realisation that something is remiss between the one individual we have perceived to be cherished and indeed special to us, the one we anticipate a lifetime of joy and love with. Your words speak to us in such a moving, reasoned way, Scott. Beautifully touching, this is. Warmest regards.
Don MacIver on Exciting news
Having the recent honour of an advanced reading of Scott Hastie’s ‘Timeless’ manuscript, I was hard-pressed to select favourites! This forthcoming publication is exceptional, its content indeed timeless. Scott has a tremendous way of capturing the deepest of emotional senses and responses. His connection to life is wonderfully cleansing to heart and soul as his words reach new levels of heightened awareness and a symmetry of resonance that is quite truly signature Scott Hastie. I applaud the timely success of Scott’s latest and forthcoming publications.
calmKate on New Poem – A Love Poem
Unrelinquished love so powerfully and poetically described, well composed Scott!
Mary Dahl on New Poem – A Love Poem
Your words move me to stillness as always! Beautiful, Scott.
Susan on New Poem – A Love Poem
Beautiful writing. Straight from the (broken) heart. Nicely crafted!
Helen on New Poem – A Love Poem
This is a breathtaking poem, and touched my heart as I have lived it …….
Glenn Buttkus on New Poem – A Love Poem
A very touching and authentic piece, many excellent lines already noted.Her “beauty” seems to transcend her looks, embracing the spiritual–where actual love resides. This is truly romantic, still in the grasp of regret for what might/could have been. Sadly, in reality a long-term relationship might have led to more heartache and disappointment.
Saideh Pakravan on New Poem – A Love Poem
Beautiful and very moving. Much one can identify with.
Keep them coming.
Kim M.Russell on New Poem – A Love Poem
A beautiful love poem, Scott. These lines touched me deeply:
‘To cup
The very essence
Of your heartache,
Your sadness’
and
‘…Breathless,
I stand in the midst
Of your beauty still.’
Neeena Sharma on New Poem – A Love Poem
Loved those lines:
” To cup
The very essence
Of your heartache,
Your sadness
As Breathless,
I stand in the midst
Of your beauty still.”
So personally touching and melancholic; yet ending on a happy note, as if admiring the beauty of the Spirit…The beauty of the Strength and Resilience we gather in the Yin Yang of the brief sojourn, our journey of Life…Not withstanding the Bouquets and Brickbats(when at times our own efforts get unacknowledged by our own Kith and Kin).
We indeed are capable of so much but not motivated enough.
Thank you for such an authentic personal piece, the every word of which makes it a riveting Read. So inspiring and Loving!
Fond Regards
Neena
Ingrid on New Poem – A Love Poem
Such sad regrets – a resonant love poem. I very much like the opening: we must never forget what we are capable of.
Jason on New Poem – A Love Poem
“We are capable Of so much,” how am I finding that so, much more that we can know.” A very humble, loving read ~
Ken Gierke on New Poem – A Love Poem
“Than ever they do
About sacred chances
Taken, even fitfully,
Such as this.
As Breathless,
I stand in the midst
Of your beauty still.”
I think this says it all – recognizing one’s shortcomings.
Lucy on New Poem – A Love Poem
This is so beautiful and breathtaking. I literally gasped to myself at the final lines:
“I stand in the midst
Of your beauty still.”
It ends the poem with closure in some type of way. Such a beautifully composed piece; many evocations of grief and love throughout. Stunning, stunning work.
Sanaa Rivzi on New Poem – A Love Poem
This is beyond beautiful, Scott!
Bjorn Rudberg on New Poem – A Love Poem
I love how you made this so much more personal. I think what touched me most was
The very essence
Of your heartache,
Your sadness.
When you can reach that point of a relationship is real love.
Esther on New Poem – A Love Poem
Awesome Love Poem full of life.
Laura Laveglia on New Poem – A Love Poem
Scott
Once we love it is locked away forever
This is the real man’s compassion- love and sadness
Thank you for sharing your true side.
Katy Jiang on New Poem – A Love Poem
Thank you so much, Scott.
A wonderful poem as it is! I especially like the strength within.

Mahnaz on New Poem – A Love Poem

Sherry Marr on New Poem – A Love Poem
So beautiful. I especially like the ending where you stand in the midst of her beauty still.
Sunaina Sindhwani on New Poem – A Love Poem
Lovely!
William Bain on New Poem – A Love Poem
Congratulations on your love poem. I’ve just read it on your site and see I’m not the only one who likes it.
Maxim Chernikov on New Poem – A Love Poem
Dear Scott, I like Your poetry. I generally believe that poetry should live in the soul of everyone. This is the only bridge from aesthetics to ethics! In the “A love poem… I am enraptured:
“As Breathless,
I stand in the midst
Of your beauty still.”
But, it seems to me, it is more piercing – not ‘breathless’, but more with bated breath!
The heart of the poet is special, because the poet goes through life with bated breath. This is my subjective view anyway!
The illustration is beautiful! Very accurately and definitely resonating with your poem.
I can’t write much: unlike in England, Russian poets are under constant stress!
Sorry my English, please! As a poet and artist from Russia.
Sasho Ognenovski on New Poem – A Love Poem
It’s a lovely poem. I also passed through your web site and I think it’s very interesting.
Banu Bidarkund on New Poem – A Love Poem
It seems that the poet is praising divine beauty, the power it holds in its ability to become breathless, equally as it engenders pain and that renders it gloriously powerful… yet lovingly beautiful still.
Scott says:
Yes indeed dear Banu,
How insightful of you.
Mbizo Chirasha on New Poem – A Love Poem
Great poet thank you ,thank you for sharing to us your great writings. so inspiring.
Pushkar Bisht on New Poem – A Love Poem
I enjoyed reading this lovely poem.
Sayed Rohani on New Poem – A Love Poem
Beauty brings love, and how it lovely it is to be breathless, still, in the middle of the beauty.
oldegg on New Poem – A Love Poem
Beautiful as always Scott but with a sad touch which I always welcome in romantic poetry.
Eric Erb on New Poem – A Love Poem
Wow! Scott this is fantastic.
“As if I were truly
Inside you myself”
Isn’t that what love is? Of course. Beautiful work.

As breathless,
I stand in the midst
Of your beauty still.
Sumit Kumar on New Poem – A Love Poem
It’s a beautiful poem as always Scott, I love all your poems.
Aria Ligi on New Poem – A Love Poem
There are two parts of this I think which really sing.
To cup
The very essence
Of your heartache,
Your sadness.
As if I were truly
Inside you myself.
and
About sacred chances
Taken, even fitfully,
Such as this.
As Breathless,
I stand in the midst
Of your beauty still.
This brings the piece to a beautifil end acknowledging the sadness and beauty he sees.
Aishwarya Raikar on New Poem – Come what may…
I must say your poems are on a different level of the intellect! Great. Looking forward to read them all as soon as I can.
Riya Dahale on New Poem – Come what may…
This is so nice
Ode Titus Okawu on New Poem – Despite what we imagine…
You’ve succeeded in making me see in my mind’s eye that the road to loving is rugged. It is like the desire of a thirsty man who needs coconut milk. He must de-husk and crack the shell to get at the milk.
Ode Titus Okawu on Recent Writing …
Great pen at great words, forcing readers’ attention from the beginning to the last line. I held my breath till the end. Good job indeed!
Titus Ode on New Poem – Come what may…
Well thought out, Scott.
Brandon Ellrich on Recent Writing …
Your poetry is calming and serene. I very much enjoyed reading the latest ones. Thank you for sharing.
Aishwarya Mehta on New Poem – Come what may…
Very beautifully constructed poem, loved reading it. This poem really enlightens a certain level of peace and faith. Would read it again and again.
Stay safe.
First Gear on New Poem – Come what may…
I loved your poem
Ewoma Okah Ave on New Poem – Come what may…
This is beautifully crafted. I like the feeling of love.. then the part of the angels.. Does it mean death? Really don’t like the sound of that part. Nevertheless, it’s a soft and beautiful poem..
Scott says:
As to your enquiry Ewoma, as I wrote it, ultimately this poem was looking to speak to a acquiring a certain level of enlightenment or state of grace if you like – which I guess, as you allude to, especially those with faith of some sort, believe might come with death – but one I myself believe to be a state of being that can be yearned for, nobly sought out and at least partially acquired whilst still being alive. Hope that answers your question, Ewoma – you have a great week ahead and thanks again for your interest in my work.
Mickey Morgan on New Poem – Come what may…
Reach for grace in the moment . . . your clarion call to a frightened world.
Oh yes, “erosion of emotion” is everpresent, but keep reaching. Thank you for the reminder which is itself Grace.
Craig Matthews on New Poem – Come what may…
I read this poem several times through, letting it settle on my heart and I was encouraged by your thoughtful words and images they provided me. Thank you.
Anna Skunk on New Poem – Come what may…
Your work is very good. I can see why you are published.
Shufali Gulati on New Poem – Come what may…
I read a couple of your poems and am in awe with them. I also loved the artworks for how everyday things could be captured with a totally different vibe.
John Rachel on New Poem – Come what may…
A prayer to pray as ancient religions become musty and tedious …
But wait!
In our hearts
A far kinder dream
Speaks to us still,
Apparent
It’s shape
Belongs to heaven.
Oh, that we could ever
Acquire the humility,
The lift of true grace
To claim it,
More courageously,
Here and now.
Michelle on New Poem – Come what may…
This poem raises complex questions which we as a society may never find the answers to. Well done great poem
Michelle on New Poem – Come what may…
“The lessons of past”, can we say that we as society have learnt from our past? This opens the door to so many complex questions that we simply cannot answer. Great poem – thanks for sharing.
Aviral on New Poem – Come what may…
Really beautiful poem.
From stammers to speaker they opened up.
one fine day they now share a coffee cup.
James Linnane on New Poem – Come what may…
Yes I do like it. It’s nicely worded and it makes a clear positive statement. I like it.
Susie Clevenger on New Poem – Come what may…
What can we do, but live, love life as it comes? I daily try to calm my bitter edges. Beautiful, expressive writing.
Austin C. Morgan on New Poem – Come what may…
I really enjoyed this… Lines like “the brooding moon” really move me, as you will find I am quite fond of lunar imagery in literature.
Thotpurge on New Poem – Come what may…
That kinder dream is beautifully described…may we all have it and realize it…
Neena Sharma on New Poem – Come what may…
Love Life as it comes…Lead it with Grace and dignity – Your inner beauty outshining the fleeting moments of temporary life, coping with latent fear coupled with uncertainties of future.
In the end, it is between the two of you, the Soul and its Godly connection.
The World Drama being transient, yet enjoy every moment… dancing crooning, like no one else.
I loved the Title of the poem and the way you started it and concluded beautifully. Congrats!
Thank You Scott Hastie for dishing out another marvel of yours
Regards Divine
Nivedita Yohana on New Poem – Come what may…
Once again, your poetry comes to me as a confirmation from the Universe, which is forever nudging me in the path of forgiveness and self-love. Your words resound with ancient wisdom that is trapped in the visceral memory of our cells which so often we fail to grasp or fall short of discernment. But you capture it so beautifully, Scottie! Ultimately we all need to chase that “shape that belongs to heaven , here and now as mortal beings.”
Magical Mystery Teacher on New Poem – Come what may…
Yes, let’s make a heaven of this earth!
Rallenda on New Poem – Come what may…
God bless you and keep you safe Scott.
Vivien Zems on New Poem – Come what may…
I love the encouragement here. Perfect!
ZQ on New Poem – Come what may…
Wonderful Piece…
Magaly Guerrero on New Poem – Come what may…
“Oh, that we had learnt!” indeed. It seems the world continues to ignore mistakes already made. And then shows shock when it trips and nearly breaks its neck.
Your last stanza is wonderfully apt for the times.
Humblekindpoet on New Poem – Come what may…
“humility is true grace.” haha thank you for that. i like your intelligence. great write!
Sherry Marr on New Poem – Come what may…
“But wait! In our hearts a far kinder dream speaks to us still.” That is what keeps me from losing hope entirely, even though we are SO SLOW to learn!!!!!!!!!!! Beautiful, Scott.
Pushkar Bisht on New Poem – Come what may…
Beautiful Poem!!
Colleen on New Poem – Come what may…
I like any poem with the moon in it. The word “tremble” stood out for me. I would love to claim it and then hold it.
Chrissa on New Poem – Come what may…
Everything comes up, appearing harmless–what will we cultivate?
Gillena on New Poem – Come what may…
“But wait!
In our hearts
A far kinder dream
Speaks to us still,
Apparent
It’s shape
Belongs to heaven.”
My favourite stanza Scott. Its speaks to me as if it were written for me
Happy Sunday, thanks for dropping by my sumie Sunday today
Muchlove
Helen on New Poem – Come what may…
Everything about ‘now’ feels like an illusion. The pandemic, a cure, the violence, a fix, inequality, justice for all. Your poem is an overwhelming testimony to the ‘now.’
Rommy on New Poem – Come what may…
I hope every day for more and more people to find their courage and act on the lessons being shouted to us from our past.
Rosemary Nissen-Wade on New Poem – Come what may…
Oh that we could, indeed!
Don MacIver on New Poem – Come what may…
Dear friend, immersed in your words I am forever impressed with an awareness of the true potentialities of life and its celebration. You wear your gift for words on your sleeve, an allegiance to your kindred spirit, and vitality for life in the poetic expression that delivers such a translucent and endeared sense of awareness, passion, and purpose. Your wordcraft stimulates the deepest of emotions and the ultimate joys that reflect our reason for being; so beautifully delivered as always, my friend!
Don MacIver on New Poem –Pranic Poetry only just published…
Bravo once again, Scott, for Pranic Poetry. You have exceeded yourself once again! Though I have never heard your voice in person, I imagine how the voice of one such superlative word delivery would sound! I always eagerly anticipate your next publication of poetic very and yet again I am hard-pressed for just the right words that will do justice to what I experience reading your works, yet overflowing with an abundance of passion and purpose for all that you have shared with us in this publication. Your mastery of word choice and a seamless delivery leave my quite overwhelmed. You have such a gift, my friend.
Don MacIver on New Poem – Pranic Poetry – a Review…
Nivedita Yohana’s review is an impressive analysis of this publication treasure. Her perspective is a powerful representation of all that you have brought with your cherished words, Scott. Her words resonate fully with the reading experience and each individual message.

JT Smith on New Poem – Come what may…
The harbinger of things yet to arrive.
We all live in this uncertain state of downsized being. The heart can overcome so much. Dreams need to be reinforced by human love. I think as we age, all of us, notice the beauty in the most simplest and rarest of earth’s elements. This particular writing speaks volumes of our condition. We tend to fade away whenever life gets so heavy like now. Thank you for not surrendering your will not to fail us.
Calm Kate on New Poem – Come what may…

Eric on New Poem – Come what may…
Sublime. Oh that we hadn’t learnt! Yeah man that damn tree of knowledge. But it is our place to be caught between the worlds. How can we, knowing what we know, open our hearts and love? And then, love more?
Mish on New Poem – Come what may…
I really enjoyed the contrast you present with “But wait!” Like a turn that takes reader into the light.
Mrityunjay Dixit on New Poem – Come what may…
This is so meaningful and full of emotions, I especially liked how even admist such dark emotions, ‘in our hearts, a kinder dream speaks to us still’ I love this!
Glenn Buttkus on New Poem – Come what may…
Another poet searching for grace midst a gaggle of uncooperative and ignorant rabble–good luck, sir; good luck to all of us. The planet weeps, plague clouds mask the sun, civil unrest clog the streets, fascism is the flavor of the month, and yet, and yet, if we could just get our minds right, perception precedes progress– Bang on, brother.
Kim Russell on New Poem – Come what may…
A poem that reflects the current times, Scott. Let’s hope that ‘far kinder dream’ continues to speak and its message reaches everyone.
M S Jadeli on New Poem – Come what may…

Aria Ligi on New Poem – Come what may…
I wish I could just highlight just one segment of this piece and say voila it’s great, but that would be unfair because all of it is. So, I will say this; this is an excellent poem that speaks broadly to humanity and all we share.

I’ve read some of your poems and enjoyed ‘I can still recall’ especially.
Wendy Waters on New Poem – I can still recall…
I have just read all your new poems. I love the glimpse of the world to come that themes through most of them and the bridge Nature builds connecting the two worlds. A sadness permeates them though as if you missed someone along the way. That is perhaps the romantic nature of poets. All poets feel more intensely than others and the joy that sharpens their experiences likewise frames their loss.
Morris on New Poem – I can still recall…
I really love this poem. It touches my heart with it’s romanticism about sharing life’s long journey and the hope that at the end, there is someone there to help make the passing easier.
Neena Sharma on New Poem – Brand New Collection…
Your latest collection showcases your versatility. At the same time embracing the nuances of spirituality in the myriad moods of poetry. Indeed Pranic healing… How subtle, yet simple…Reflecting on the upon the visceral truth of our inner being. Great work which should prove to be a riveting read for everyone.
Morris on New Poem – Brand New Collection …
Scott Hastie’s beautiful and deep poetry gently gives us plenty to reflect upon. Who are we? What do our lives mean? What inspires us and frightens us and how do we best navigate our way through such challenges. This the perfect book to be reading in these testing times.
Debbie Stirling on Brand New Collection …
I am mid way through reading Scott’s latest collection.
We are two and a half weeks into lockdown in the Uk
. Somehow the words seem ever more poignant and meaningful reading with the background of the virus .
I have found that moments of extreme emotion often helps us crystallise our thoughts and help us pinpoint and name our feelings.
We are suddenly faced with time for reflection and these poems are helping me distill the mixed emotions of our current situation into a calm acceptance of what is .
It’s interesting how many art forms are speaking to people in a different ways at the moment , perhaps giving us permission to expand our thinking or perhaps to wipe away all thoughts and simply BE
Thank you Scott for another marvellous collection and I am looking forward to rest of the book
Bless you x

Pushkar Bisht on New Poem – I can still recall…
Beautiful poem!!! It’s the best feeling of all, when someone feels such as this for us..
Isabella Arguello on New Poem – I can still recall…
I loved your poem, especially the part at the end that mentions the angels.
Rebecca O’Donnell on New Poem – I can still recall…
Just finished your latest poem and it shook me to my soul. You’re oracular in the timing of your work, always posting something that exactly fits how I feel at that moment. Here’s what I want to say about your work: The poetry of Scott Hastie touches not just the aesthetic value of his beautiful words, but reaches far beyond our senses into our carefully guarded spirit. He weaves a gentle inner voice around us, a soft cocoon that recognizes hardships both past and present, then reminds us of all the light that woke in that darkness. They survive together, a symbiote of light and darkness to keep us from being overwhelmed by either for very long. Scott Hastie’s poetry reminds us of those gleaming moments in divine whisperings of reassurance that when Life seems sightless and cold, we can look upward and inward to find a hearth to warm ourselves and learn to see afresh again. He is a word artist of both infinite depth and spiritual magnitude.
Frank Turner on New Poem – I can still recall…
Scott your work is beautifully evocative, full of deep imagery and assonance. Thereby creating quiet spaces that allow words to weave their tapestry. I have been deeply impressed with these quiet spaces in your verse that speak so deeply to the soul.
Henry York on New Poem – I can still recall…
I love your poem, it is beautiful and incredible, to my eye – faultless, in fact…
Marie Hurst on New Poem – I can still recall…
I love your poem, and your style.
Laura Laveglia on New Poem – Recent Writing…
Your poetry in this special collection was given to you by a higher force!! I honestly feel that.
Lorraine Hall on New Poem – I can still recall…
Beautiful lines in this Scott. I will get back to you with some of my own
Neena Sharma on New Poem – I can still recall…
Oh… so you have found your lost love… How romantic! The way you two met the first time and will part in the end, with Angels welcoming you to their own ethereal World-The Truth that each one of us has to face in the end…after a brief sojourn on earth. However the soul goes on and on…On an eternal journey.
How simple, flowing and full of Love and Hope…Your poesy ends once again (like all others of yours), on a happy note.
Brought a gleam of hope and a glint of smile in my eyes, as I went through it, devouring each line.
Congrats once again!
Greetings and much regard
Neena

Like many have said it starts slowly then leads into
a full love story.
Great writing Scott as ever.

John Lysaght on New Poem – I can still recall…
Love outside of oneself is a singular fulfillment. In this human union,it is significant to ask another a question that is important to him/her, and that which I am interested in the answer. A life worth living can see angels.
Gloria Hudson on New Poem – I can still recall…
I shared your poem!❤️
Patricia Young on New Poem – I can still recall…
Hi Scott,
As I quickly wrote this on my cell at work I never edited my work.
What I meant to say was I don’t always understand all stories told in poetry.
But in your poem, I visualized the story clearly.
You write well. Thanks.
Patricia Young on New Poem – I can still recall…
Hi Scott,
I will admit when it comes to poetry I do not understand the story.
But while I read this I could visualize the stir with your words.
You are an awesome writer.
Pratiba on New Poem – I can still recall…
This added a smile to my otherwise dull day 🙂 Lovely.
Rasheed Olayemi Noeem on New Poem – I can still recall…

Katy Jiang on New Poem – I can still recall…
Thanks, Scott! Enjoy the simplicity of your beauty.
Jim on New Poem – I can still recall…
A sweet journey, Scott. I liked.
Laura Laveglia on New Poem – I can still recall…
Scottie I sighed when reading
So filled with love an romantic tones!!!
And this doesn’t not surprise knowing your heart!!
Brandon Murphy on New Poem – I can still recall…
Scott, as some kind of personal mentor to me while I struggle in the darkness… I see you guiding me to the light… Thank you my friend, for your guidance. You are a true inspiration to all.
Robin Kimber on New Poem – I can still recall…
How well you captured the feeling of love between a couple. Each of us goes through different emotions when we fall in love and live with the love of our choice. Reading beautiful poems like this the reader naturally reflects on their own partner and their love for them too.
Rallenda on New Poem – I can still recall…
It makes me happy to know you are loved and appreciate your blessing.
Rasheed Olayemi on New Poem – I can still recall…
Brilliant composition
Catherine Mellens on New Poem – I can still recall…
Hello Scott, I just read some of your Beautiful Poetry. Your words are Beautifully connected.
Love how distance to closure each word has. Beautifully written look forward to coming back & reading more.
Vivian Zems on New Poem – I can still recall…
“It was how
We bridged that gap”….a beautifully, romantic write. That quote is my favourite bit.
Lorraine Hall on New Poem – I can still recall…
Lovely poetry Scott, I’m the same. Exactitude really ‘exacting the ineptitude’ I have written a short love story for you. Never published of course, twenty years ago. LH
Yasmin Anderson Smith on New Poem – I can still recall…
Wonderful Scott.
Thotpurgeon New Poem – I can still recall…
When the angels come for us… such an interesting close!
Stranded Tree on New Poem – I can still recall…
All to the end:
“And now, for sure my love,
We’ll know of the angels
When they come for us…”
They would surely come for My One and pass on me but I love the beautiful thoughts you expressed here. I will share this.
Rosemary Nissen – Wade on New Poem – I can still recall…
Idealism realised – how lovely!
Truedessa on New Poem – I can still recall…
I have always enjoyed your poetry. The journey of love from a simple hello to the depth of the soul. Just lovely…
Bev Crawford on New Poem – I can still recall…
A wonderful synopsis of love that starts as friendship and grows into something wonderful and lasting! Much enjoyed this, Scott.
Abin on New Poem – I can still recall…
There’s mature wisdom in these realisations!
Sahar Tavakoli on New Poem – I can still recall…
Scott invites all of us to an endless journey within his words and feed us with fruit for soul in each line.
He gives us new brushes to paint our desired world and a new description for creating a new world which is Pranic and allows us to conciliate our pains with vital life energy. A hidden gem in inner self to heal and balance our soul, he awaken us with the endless dilemma of life and death and shows us, at the end, how we will celebrate life with hope together.
William Bain on New Poem – I can still recall…
Yes, good one. ‘I can still recall’ seems to
me to express something more than a super-
ficial rapture. I am bothered a bit by the ‘should’
statement. That is I suppose a personal call.
I noticed that many people who comment on
your poem place a lot of emphasis on the initial
lines. I tried a kind of experimental approach by
wondering what might happen if the poem
started with the second stanza, then found a
way to introduce the essence of the first.
Forgive my meddling ways. In any case con-
gratulations on the poem; it’s very
good.
Tapan Kumar Gosh on New Poem – I can still recall…
Many thanks for the poem
Rommy on New Poem – I can still recall…
Sometimes we have to trade the security of a moment to move towards something better in the end. The love of a lifetime is worth that little risk.
Don MacIver on New Artwork – Passions Burst…
Scott, this reflects so wonderfully what I so often feel deep inside when I engage in such beautifully artistic pieces, whether in the visual or creative written arts. This is poetry in motion as it were, wonderfully balanced, in harmonic flow and audience reach.
Don MacIver on New Poem – I can still recall…
Oh Scott, how sweet and gently this speaks volumes to me. Coincidentally, “Such again
Is the promise
Of tomorrow,
If we can be
Who we should be…” utters a clear refection of my words in today’s private message to you. “If we can be who we should be”; how utterly definitive of life as we live it! I also mentioned ‘parallels’ in our written expression. Your gift is so much your own, yet ours is the beautiful acceptance and embracing in its reading.
Magaly Guerrero on New Poem – I can still recall…
Looking into someone’s eyes, seeing the truth of what we taste in their words… nothing is as powerful as that. And yes, the knowledge–that someone cares for us as we care for them–sticks to us, and guides us in all things to come (if we let it).
This is precious, Scott. I believe I’ll read it to my husband.
Chrissa on New Poem – I can still recall…
Echoing others, I love the way this builds strength and support upon the simplicity of moments.
dSnake on New Poem – I can still recall…
A simple beginning and see how long and loving the journey together has come. 🙂

Mary Dahl on New Poem – I can still recall…

Jae Rose on New Poem – I can still recall…
Such a touching poem of togetherness and love
Paul Bowles on New Poem – I can still recall…
A wonderfully thought provoking poem Scott, curiously and personally so for me.
Creativity would seem to be the ‘souls journey’ and we embark on that ‘imperative’ with the ‘security’ of that ‘precious moment.’ Later we are put to the test, applying it, then we are not so secure. We have to ‘bridge that gap’ from then to now which adds real ‘weight’ to the journey. But we chose then, to begin, ‘unfettered’ by thoughts of tomorrow. Now, if we can be ‘Who we are’ we may see, in reflection ‘how far we have come.’ Perhaps we might earn that ‘best feeling’ when asked ‘how we are,’ as if it truly mattered.
Aria Ligi on New Poem – I can still recall…
Love this. The best part is:
All we’ve since come
To hold dear
Adding real weight
To this, the onward journey
Of our souls.
A choice
To which we first
Exposed ourselves
In that precious moment,
Beyond any imperative
Of staying secure.
The ‘imperative of staying secure’ says it all.
Rebecca Sanchez on New Poem – I can still recall…

Thank you, dear Scott!
Saideh Pakravan on New Poem – I can still recall…
How simple and to the point! Your words make me sigh for rare moments when we know with utter certainty we are standing next to the right person.
John Rachel on New Poem – I can still recall…
Beautiful, heartwarming piece. There’s a pure innocence here, rarely felt and rarely expressed so perfectly.
Joseph Malone on New Poem – I can still recall…
This meditation on life, love, & the eventual after life is shimmering. you have simplified your craft and refined it to a point where all the thoughts reverberate. it’s like observing the dance once again. As we grow older and reach an apex of our collective dreams, we begin to recollect on how life is more than us. A soul mate is something which i value yet it eludes me. Love went away and so did my connection to the goddess. Angels are perfect metaphors, their role protects whatever sins or grievances we partake in.
Drew Clausen on New Poem – I can still recall…

Laura Bloomsbury on New Poem – I can still recall…
“It was how
We bridged that gap.”
the poem moves so lightly and lovingly across that ever narrowing gap as the two become ‘us’
Glenn Buttkus on New Poem – I can still recall…
A lovely and romantic piece. I liked how you described the vulnerability of actual love beyond any imperative of staying secure/. We all hope for “flights of angels” indeed.
Kim M. Russell on New Poem – I can still recall…
That really is all it takes, Scott, and it’s the best feeling in the world, knowing that someone cares.
Bjorn Rudberg on New Poem – I can still recall…
I love how simple it begins when the beginning of a simple “how are you?” can build and add the weight of something so real

I have read this poem and I think it’s terrific. Your ideas are big and your verses perform acrobatics around the basic scheme, and yet I saw nothing trite or burning about it. To me, that is the definition of worthwhile poetry.

Ada Aharoni on End of year Report!…
Dear Scott,
I am so glad to to find we have so much in common!
I love your new poem, especially the stanza with which I warmly agree:
So well before the time
To slip away
Gathers too much pace,
So should we all
Endeavor to love,
To leave the best
Of ourselves behind.
Beautifully and profoundly expressed thoughts and feelings, reflecting a state of mind of what I call “the autumn of our days”. This is when we begin asking ourselves what will I leave behind? And what you plan to leave behind: love, kindness and the best of yourself, is so moving and humane, and exactly what I feel and plan too!

Malvika Mishra on New Poem – Like the curiously…
I was reading your poems the other day; they are deep, beautiful and extremely spiritual.
I find so much of our Bhagwad Geeta in your poems and it’s amazing how such wise things are worded the same way.
While poetry is generally designed to connect us with beauty and emotion, Scott’s work goes beyond that in an important way: it gives readers the feeling that the teller himself is as lovely as the content, and elevates us to a sense that we are privileged to see things through his eyes. As his work gains a wider and wider audience, this phenomenon will become more fully recognized, but perhaps never fully explained.
Your poetry is simply beautiful, energetic, full of wit
and exuberant vitality.
