A rewrite of a poem from my attempt at NaPoWriMo in April 2010 :) xx



KINSHIP AND SOLITUDE


After long hours of solitude
in the saddle of my mind
(exploring deep canyons,
dark space)

good company trots close
as a campfire flame
dancing over an old love’s face

What is needed, good company of course, and a campfire is so nice to sit with your kins, solitude has to be something we all can relate too also. Old love's do disappear and never return, so sad too.

Sometimes solitude is good but other times it's not. Then comes along a good friend who takes the solitude away. Lovely write Kate.

Cowboy poetry, Kate! Who knew? Soft textures of exploding "p"s and subtle "s"s and graceful "f"s frame beautifully your picture of an intimate friendship. --Charlie. Thanks right back atcha for a thoughtful review of The Clouds and My Father.

I find I like both at times - Kinship is wonderful, but Solitude often soothes my soul.
