What an animation! I could hear the "music," see the "dance" and smell the "flowers" accompanied by your alliteration of "s's" and "f's". Here's to Gloria- Joan

This was very hauntingly beautiful. I loved the picture you chose with the ever moving veil. It was a great compliment to your lovely rhymes.

Excellent imagery throughout this thought provoking piece. Very creative as you transposed the first and last stanzas. Interesting artwork and the black and white is stunning.

Well done
Janet

I also enjoyed reviewing this poem, the black background intensified the message the author intended to convey to the readers. I like best the following lines:satisfying as celestial heaven's climb, efforts summits ultimate worship" Thanks for sharing.

Interesting and arresting poem. I like that the first and last stanzas are mirror images of each other.
"satisfying as celestial heavens climb" is a nice line, evoking a beautiful image. "honest essence need not try" feels good too.

I had to come back today and read this again, because you style with its stream of consciousness and unusual thought flow threw me a bit. I get he beauty, sweetness and purity you are trying to portray and I like the "her music permeates heir apparent fragrant as first flowers find" and the way you repeat the first verse at the end. I do still find some of the lines and train of thought perplexing.

This delicate poem reads like a Psalm. Although the name Magdalene is popular now, I see this as being about Mary, Jesus' woman disciple. The movement in the picture is mesmerizing.

Man has very few original thoughts, or original dance movements, but he is always willing to accept credit where credit is not due. Your post has very good imagery.

I read this twice and I want my funny money. What did I like about it? Words like
tracks in the snow, toes pointing every way, hiding the trail. What did I not like
about it? I never quite figured out if the trail went left or right. I sense that maybe
that was the plan. Oh, well, five for an interesting if futile read.
