And you are so right too Lori. Everytime I write a poem, I edit, re-edit, read and re-read (giggles). Sometimes a typo escapes tho (giggles again), and then when I read the posted poem, I go "oh no! (Giggles some more). Then I correct the mistake. The other day a few words just popped into my head, but that is as far as it got. (Rolling on the floor giggling). Thnx sis for sharing this with us.
May the Lord Jesus bless you, and those whom you love, and be with you always, and at your side constantly. With much love in my heart, joy to the world, peace on earth, & ((((((((((MANY WONDERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your little sister, Barbie

oooh. i like this right here. word economy in poetry is like metaphor to short stories, mandatory. meaning is spare, and yet profound. an enjoyable, thoughtful read!
Proof positive that you know the purpose and reason for poetry.

i haven't visited you in a while, and i see i've missed out. this is original, well thought through and has left me feeling the need to ask a lot of questions! great stuff.
Yes it does seem somtimes that the ability to write, especially poetry does depend on that little muse deciding if he really wants us to or not doesn't it.

Poetry <----------------Yup I say that to the mirror too Lori.. But do
keep beating the hell out of it for lying..
this poem exemplifies the difference when a poem disconnects from a reader as opposed it uplifts and inspires ... you did a much better job of expressing that truism then i just did ... excellent!
This took a quieted mind to compose. It also took an expansive thought to make a connection. This is what happens when you strike the match! May the merge be all yours, Lori. Blessed Be.
I am glad to see that I am not the only one who can read a poem over and over and still not grasp what the author is trying to get across. On the other hand, some poems pull me right into them and consume all of my thoughts and emotions. Great write, Lori. Your examples of contrast are on spot.
Take care,
Sherry

This is a book of free verse poetry that addresses the seven main tests in life and offers some sensible solutions to passing those tests with minimal discomfort.
