my compass always goes in circles that's why i'm lost ;)

just like Columbus, we must explore new worlds within us and then locate the adequate words to express our adventure through our variance of language, so others can see and understand ...

Kate, humorous or not there is a prophetic side and appeal to your poem -- it is incumbent upon each and every one of us to broaden our scopes through close examination of even the most familiar things in our lives -- including relationships and the most mundane repetitive acts we perform -- we must assess values -- I love this piece it is mentally invigorating to the tired old gray matter residing within my cranium -- I bid you joy love and peace my dear friend -- Jon Michael

Just imagine that worlds can be explored simply by a click of the mouse. My miniature Columbus has been doing such using Google Earth..to scope out area 51 ;) (UFO's and all of that sort of thing)
Blessings,
Chris

Very interesting even if I didn't get the punch line. The line about Columbus made it all worth while. Liz

Old territories/Newly discovered...just lift that cloak..I like this...I think back to my old stomping grounds, remebering deep in the woods how we used to watch the scouts perfom Indian dances, I would have to dig deep to see as they are under developments now...but your write took me there~(I am sure I am way off key to what you are expressing)
Love and Blessings,
Christine

Ahaaa! A rebelious preposition! Aaaargh! Man the jib! Ahoy, me captain...

We see Kate paddling her great ship manually through a sea of verbs, netting hand at ready, trying to catch that illusive slippery fish...

On another note, your Columbus line warms my soul. What a determined, passionate sailor! Can't help but love the old mariner myself. Did you know that his first step into the western hemisphere was in modern day Haiti?

You may list it as humour, Kate, and i see
'the logic' of that but i see, too,
a hint at something else, a need to focus
on direction and perspective...
we're doing too much muddling through
in our own little worlds.

Ur right, that symbol won't show up on AD, I tried all different ways to get it on and still no go...but I get your drift & agree we should just set our compass to AT & sail forth into the unknown...e

Don't know if you meant to say (at).com or not, but Columbus couldn't done worse that setting his compass at that.
