I just read Mark Strong might play James Bond? Why? He has a look that generates O empathy. How does he do that? I don’t care if he lives or dies! What manner of energy will he generate on the screen? How about……….

Where’s THE TENSION?
Victoria Bond owns real tension, because she is a Secret Poet, and a violently insane Sculptress. She is also a Dream-Seer, who has visions of the British Fleet – which I just discovered is handicapped! Rolls Royce built new engines that don’t run in warm water, and thus will not be doing a sail-by of those man-made Chinese Islands the French fleet buzzed last week. This is REAL BONDISH! How did Victoria SEE this coming?
What we got here, is, men, and women who can not USE THEIR MIND! Why? The Western Mind is not what it used to be. What happened? Why are we suddenly – FLAWED?
Victoria Bond wonders if it has something to do with Poetic Tension.
“I think we are losing our poetic edge – Gunga Din!”
In my answer poem to Lara Roozemond’s poem ‘Lost’ I mention a flaw I can see. It’s there, at the end. I discovered what I did wrong in my poems when I was fifteen. I released the poetic tension – at the end. My endings were not right. There is no wrong or right in poetry. There is THE LAUNCH………THE TRANCE………THE EXIT. You do not want the trance part to end – out of trance! You could have gone a thousand ways while in trance. This is the mind-blowing experience of authoring a poem. Intuitively you chose words. TRANCE-WORDS. They come from a place that can not be DEFINED. What a brilliant start to ‘Lost’. Here’s the BAD EXIT…….
“Totally free”
Totally free verses Partially free? Why use the word “free”? Free compared to what?
This is why Plato says good poets have to be mad. There is no cure for poetic madness. This is why Lara is ten times more dangerous then Mark. Lara has poet balls that she keeps in her Crane Bag she does not know she owns. I truly admire her work, and love her. That’s how I want to feel for – THE NEW BOND!
Lara has an enchanted voice. She should send it out, and get work. Christine, Rena, and Lara, have these crystal-delicate song voices. Protecting this voice, rathe than projecting a bold bellow, creates sublime tension.
