So lucky of you to live near her.<BR/><BR/>And of course I have to add that I too have only just begun to learn poetry; come miles along the way just by trying to keep up with Friday Poetry. I was a lousy English major; wasn't paying attention during class, always day dreaming, and immediately forgot all I might have heard. Horrible to admit it but most all of the best poems are new to me or seem like it... That's what I love about Fridays now.Andromeda Jazmonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12355192738014962965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10890387.post-65460683254118111122008-03-21T15:40:00.000-07:002008-03-21T15:40:00.000-07:00Thanks, guys!

I promise to contribute to more Poetry Fridays in the future--in fact, I can see this becoming an addiction...<BR/><BR/>And thanks, Sara, for the kind words--I wish I <I>could</I> write something this amazing!

In fact, a self-professed non-poetry geek's selection has even more weight to it, since, you know, it takes a wallop of a poem (like this one) to get you to post! :) Puh-lease: more. <BR/><BR/>And teeny confession: I thought you wrote these lines, until I got to the end. It seemed so...you.

Naming things, sculpting them, making the malleable and workable and trying to breathe through the process. Lovely.<BR/><BR/>And <I>puh-</I>lease on being poetry-literate. You know how much I've become literate just from doing this? It means I read more now, which is a good thing!tanita✿davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01671822274852087499noreply@blogger.com
