"And my tears fall empting my body of it all"

Oh, Lord, girl. Who can tell you anything adequately enough to pay tribute to the power of your own words? The entire trilogy is bodacious.

A fitting finale to your strikingly original, and too painfully relevant, trilogy. We don't pay enough attention to the bridge that spans the river of consciousness between emotional intention and emotional reality. This trilogy provides a useful portrait of that bridge, making the reader stop right there, making them look, and listen, and feel.

Just trying to gather myself enough to be able to review, Mitzi, and I find, right at the bottom, Jerry has already said ALL of what I am feeling right now - which is completely staggering. Never here before have I ever thought to write of feeling totally drained and exhausted by the ability of the writer to draw me into such intense and raw passion of life and death... and to find that somebody else feels the same way enough to comment. But it DOES indeed show your graphic power as a writer to take us to be exactly where you are in this poem, even if we have never experienced its like before. Your writes have such a cinematic quality to them as well. I feel like I have been taken through the climactic points of some great epic with your pulsating slices of life. Bless you and thank you for such an awesome gift that you share. Kate xx

To touch a soul, a mind must be able to see beyond the words created by others, build an image that lives in the heart explodes like a bomb
Detonated by life. Your words fill vacuums of age, seen in places many would not dare to go, so wrenching is the experience it crosses all barriers, beauty is not the picture, it is the soul felt and spent, in your garden lives the life of hope reach from past to present. Walt

You really feel the despair in this one but I wonder about the comparison to the Japanese Garden. However maybe I missed something.

Mitzi,

Emotion pours from each word and into the reader's conciousness--the reader will think on your writes long after they've read them. Hopefully change will result for having read your words. Thank you for being real. :)

An excellent series--

You sure have given me a new insight to America.

Damn, Mitzi, after I get through reading your stuff I am worn out, and that's a fact. You gave it your all here, didn't you? Yes. When you can communicate to others and make them feel just a little bit of what you WANT them to feel, then you can rightly be called a poet. Poetess? Whatever. And you did just that here with this, the very best of your Japanese Garden poem. Gotta go now and take a deep breath.

I can't stop weeping, at the lost of love, life and dreams and at the cost to the character in this 3 part poem series of "Free Fall..." Well done, Mitzi, well done.
