Your animated sunrise is mesmerizing. Your opening stanza is so evocative and worth repeating at the end. I hope spring is as "precious as your poetry". Big hugs- Joan

Everyone is a genius in interpreting his own poetry. I should not have returned to review after leaving. So..I apologize and I do not want to be like Mike...Mike is his own unique person. You can keep the five stars and the poetry potlaches and the rigged contests and all that goes with it...I don't even want my money back from Tom. Bye.

ink blots...hm....that reminds me....................and I should leave it there. but now that were here...lets get into your head. Why is it you analyze me...do you want to be like Mike...? what is it that fascinates you to the point of pulling apart and inspecting each nuance of my expression...? hm....have you ever thought about that...seen a Doctor...?

I did once...twice....and he gave me one of them tests...ink blot. Do you know what it did...it pissed me off. yep...so I decided to piss him off. When he asked me what I saw...I looked down and shook my head, mumbling I cant...I cant. When he asked why...? I told him "they" told me not to. at this point he was really getting into it. I mean it had been all day, hell all year lets be real, of the same ol' shit...and there I was...gold.
what else did they say Michael...well they hinted that you wear women's underwear...said I....-smile-...he got mad. Truth is I kinda felt sorry for the guy, and didn't tell him that I could make sense out of every one of them ink blots...-wink-...that's the difference between a genius and fruit loop...oh yea and big love-

I love the easy flow and the message of your words. The first and last verse are written beautifully and very poetic! Thanks for sharing this lovely poem. It's a reminder to all of us who are uneasy about sharing our work.

Hi Michael,

I'll best describe this as cryptic and beautiful, as it could many things to different people. I enjoyed the metaphor of Spring reborn as an infant, but this was my favorite stanza:


every seasons constant is special envisioned
precious as your poetry makes it so
rest easy...

Thank you for sharing :)

Kim

All, whom we have loved and lost...
