Very intense poem that impacts the senses with the point being made!
Excellent work Kate!

With strength against those who would freeze my
humanity, would dragoon me into a lethal automaton," L.M.

You went right into the heart of the matter with this astute offering, Kate. As long as we are breathing we should experience all that we can about life and that would include both the yin and then yang in all things. What better way is there to appreciate the best of life than by surviving the worst of it? This is excellent work!
Take care,
Sherry |

Kate}}}}}}}}}}}}}}WOW!So powerful the imagery in this poem and the expression lingers long after read.
"Satisfy my tongue with first fruits of fame
and my lips with bruised gall of adversity
Teach me fealty and lordship
in both friendship and hate
But let me not die without first having lived."

Sweet Kate what a beautiful and honest write. It's amazing you have captured so much into this one single poem and made things look so clear to me. I have lived and lived to the very edge, now I grow weary and no longer fear death.

You said it all and the plea to live without fading out of the dream is a request of the deepest yearning. I feel your fist clinched to your breasts and the pine that is silent in your eyes. Well done my friend, Kate.

One of the most passionately rousing anthems to the will to live life at its fullest that I've ever had the immense pleasure of reading. More than simply interpreting existence, these lines empower it with daring vitality both metaphorical and actual.

Amen to this invigorating write.
Faithfulness is an attribute sorely lacking in this bloody world KB. Rubber meets the road imagery, you created here, that makes the reader wince at times.
A blessed moment you had in the penning of this dear friend. Kudos!
