There's something about birds melding with waves too in your latest collection. Imagery conjured up and pushed into my imagination by your arrangements of words, so the feeling that I also get, beyond that last full stop, is freedom. Freedom that proves my imagination lives on.... Not so much the telling but, the showing of the words.... That lets us oscillate alive between knowing and not-knowing; before and after knowing, place where that photo seems to have you above.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15153226495994273907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3025236797256656482.post-84511821520775316552009-12-29T15:38:32.156-08:002009-12-29T15:38:32.156-08:00I really enjoyed your poem.

I wonder how many of us have sat down and tried to articulate why we do what we do? Very good poem overall.Jim Murdochhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12786388638146471193noreply@blogger.com
