This is a gripping read. It deserves reading more than once to internalize the impact of your well chosen and descriptive words. My immediate feeling was pain but then hope, eventually love of humanity. My review is inadequate I'm sure since I am new at the task. Very well done.

What an awesome job of giving birth to a poem. I've never thought about writing and giving birth in that way, but it fits. With some of my stories, I feel like I'm giving birth to something. Thanks for sharing!

Have a great day and God bless.

So beautifully expressed, became misty eyed reading it because it is such
a elegant and insightful serendipitous process that occurs as that first
hum in the mind and all the meticulous and magical, mystical, musical
vibrations and sensations follow in such perfectly noted chronological
order. Fantastic presentation, most thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated.
thanks for sharing... Wonderful to see you posting again dear friend.
Blessings and best wishes always, Ronni

This is a fabulous way to look at the conception and birth of words to make alive the works of poetry. It is a painstaking labor to produce such wonderful writing and you have birthed a great piece here.

HOLY !@#$%&*-every stanza has NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE....what a CRAZY ass metaphor THIS one is.....A BEAUTIFUL ALIEN.....I could point out the "best lines" but i would end up reprinting the entire piece....each stanza is a beautiful short phrased poem within itself( you didn't even have to put all these together-they're all able to stand alone) this is pure craftsmanship of the highest artistic order. As a poet myself i'm able to say it's a dirty shame of the human race that poetry is the most neglected art, for you, sir, are it's reigning giant

    Wow Val, what a delightful and uplifting review. I wrote this several years ago and just found it in some old papers so I thought I would share is as I had really enjoyed writing it way back when....1972 I think??. Anyway, great to hear from you and thanks for the generous stars and the wonderful encouragement...as always! Blessings! Vance

I'm happy to see your recent two new posts, Vance. This one compares the birth of a poem to the birth of a child and rightly so. We labor over how it will be delivered. Great job here, particularly the last three short stanzas. Marilyn

Vance, you have tripped a switch.
For so long, I have concentrated on my prose.
But you've ignited my Hum. You've roused the poet in me.
What you describe, I recognize.
The urgency, and the soft step. Get it. But don't step on it.
Yeah, I get it.
You make me want to write poetry again.
Fair or ugly, I'll give it another try.

Thanks.

Peace, Lee

    Lee: I could never hope to get a more rewarding and encouraging review than this one! First, because I deeply respect your amazing writing skills and would be so proud to know I may have encouraged you to share some of that with us under the flag of poetry! I always love your work and get a huge smile and lift from the power of your comedy as well. I can imagine when you let that power loose in the world of poetry, we are all about to see some smokin' good stuff! I'll be first in line for sure to read them so thanks again and blessings always! Vance
