My dear Anita.. this is one of those rare moments when words transport and I found myself inside my head, eyes closed, and inside your words. Forgive a possibly overused phrase, but sincerity compels me to say that this is utterly and wondrously 'breathtaking!' I must keep it for many reads. Absolutely lovely! Sigh... katy xox.
You have a gift for saying much with just a few skillfully crafted lines and rich, ripe images and metaphors. I always feel like I have bitten into some exotic fruit and tasted it's deliciousness when I have read your work! And you always seem to achieve that delicate and difficult balance of giving a sense of immediacy as well as timelessness in a lot of your writes. Your poems are beautiful perennials! Makes me feel so guilty about my own overgrown and untended third of an acre... doesn't say much about my spiritual path or journey, does it??!!! Kudos to you, Babe! Kate xx
