C.G., a beautiful and deeply moving tribute to your mother who made her transition at the age of 98. You were blessed to have her to be your mother and I know she was proud of you. MY condolences to you. God bless you. Peace.

A wonderful and deeply detailed chronicle of a life well lived. There was humor there through all the hardships. Something to pass down to her many grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

A wonderful and moving tribute to your Mother. My condolences to you and your family. My Mother died in 1998. 72 years young. A brain aneurism. Miss her every day. "Tally Ho! Let's Roll!" I like that phrase.
Warm regards...rlc

Oh, what a beautiful tribute to your Brother Brian. How wonderfully you have expressed his lessons of attaining life's goals by stepping up one branch at a time. I absolutely loved this reading. Thank you. I needed this post-Memorial Day (May 27, 2008) accolade to Brother Brian.

I don't know why this title called out to me tonight but it did, and I'm glad. Memory can be a kind of spirit and this is one that abides in deep love rooted in the past but branching out through many hearts in the present. Much gratitude for the sharing.

"A Treetop View: Remembering Brother Brian, a.k.a.,"
A heartfelt rendering of your wonderful brother and the blessed time you all shared. The scenic depiction and frolicking play was surreal.
An outstanding write and befitting tribute to your brother Brian.

Dear carolyn, I haven't read such deeply emotional tribute before. I know somewhere your brother is tugging to the words that has flowed from your heart while riding above the treetop...with Lord Almighty!
A Treetop View: Remembering Brother Brian, a.k.a., (Article) - 7/29/2003 6:21:32 AM
Carolyn, your tribute to your brother, "A Treetop View: Remembering Brother
Brian, a.k.a.," touched me deeply. While reading it I felt many emotions...empathy, affection, love...and sensed an abiding faith that connects the past, history; the future, a mystery; with the present, a gift; i.e., a present. Your messsage honoring your brother has blessed me.Thank you.
Memory (Poetry) - 9/25/2026 6:16:03 PM
For humans, memory is the treasury and guardian of our experiences. And even though the past is frozen and no longer flows, the emotional resonance of beautiful memories can be a more perfect world than the universe. Giving life back to those moments and those that no longer exist. Thank you for sharing. r

Miscreant (Poetry) - 9/17/2026 4:31:05 PM
Certainly the 'miscreant' can serve as a moral mirror. Often portrayed as ethically corrupt, fated to encounter the consequences of their actions, and sometimes even worse in their attempts to justify their dark deeds. IMO, Your 16 words capture the miscreant clearly and effectively. Nice to see your name again, Carolyn. Hope you're well. Peace. r

Quiet Season (Poetry) - 11/30/2016 10:45:46 AM
It is season of plenty and a time when the hard work of harvest is over as people gather around the fire and share experience and wisdom. It is the dark season after when it turns colder and the stores of harvest spoil or run out that death descends upon the weak.
So the season you have described must be savored for it may be one's last.
Ron
Quiet Season (Poetry) - 11/30/2016 6:23:04 AM
Love the season. Not the awful commercialization of it, but how it causes the sensory-faculty to shift, and, how the inclination, then, is to quiet the spirit and listen. At least that's the way it is in this camp. Your brevity and brushstrokes are like snowflakes, CGMB. Enjoyed. Warm regards...rlc

I love haiku and senryu and I love this, Carolyn. On the surface, this describes the desert; but it could be symbolic of much more. Love and best wishes,
Regis
haven (Poetry) - 11/17/2016 7:47:06 PM
Living here in the desert, I feel deeply your poem. I have seen and experienced its "sweltering heat" and "distant mirages". The desert is much overlooked as an expressive artifact of nature. A rich oasis indeed. John
haven (Poetry) - 8/16/2016 6:53:30 AM
I presume you are talking about life; living through it and your last line is the punch line, C.G.
Always,

haven (Poetry) - 8/16/2016 5:25:37 AM
Reads like the desert Southwest these days. If one is out there alone, I don't see much of a haven anywhere. But, if I read your title right, you are describing this place, itself, as a haven from something else.
Ron

It's always been so. Our forefathers were the rich elite. True democracy will not be obtained until everyone participates. Most don't care until it gets to a situation like this where we have two very weak presidential candidates and no dark horse out there to save the day.

C.G., during the last year I have thought of you many times and missed reading your succinct, but powerful writings. Keep the faith, hope and love. There is another chance, a chance to be all your potential allows which may not be even in the realm of imagination. In Mutuality.

Fusion (Poetry) - 6/23/2013 5:50:00 PM
In three distinct but overlapping stages you sweep the reader from the natural into the ethereal, from that primeval archetypal symbol - the sea - into the supernatural realm where horizon pushes up vertically into the upper atmosphere. Imagery and form conspire to sublimate an essence of utter peace until it saturates and oozes into osmosis. I fell in love with this poem and re-read it twice before sharing it with my wife.
Thanks so much for sharing this wonderful poem!
Roger
Fusion (Poetry) - 6/22/2013 11:48:36 AM
Sounds and images collide to give a real sense of this misty fusion, Carolyn, cleansing, embracing and tinglingly detoxing. You conjure also a sense of alchemy here - and love that word "trolling" which introduces a sense of otherworldliness. xx

Mega Storm Sandy (Poetry) - 10/31/2012 12:14:48 PM
Interesting format and rhythm to these couplets, Carolyn. Almost like haiku in sense. For me, that line "Facelift carved to the bone" says it all. Gaunt and ghoulish she has been - and totally without mercy. A compassionate write for all those who have suffered at her hands. Bless you, Kate xx

So accurate in delivery, Carolyn,
without compromise of theme, a fine
trait in your poetry..and yes, all the rest
is noise, bloody useless annoying noise.
John
Noise (Poetry) - 12/5/2011 9:30:24 AM
... All the rest most certainly IS noise, Carolyn - and pointless confusion! I love the precision and concision in this - can relate wholeheartedly, though a moment in touch with the Spirit brings equanimity to the whole. Grace and peace to you and yours in a troubled and turbulent world and times. xx

Gleeful (Poetry) - 11/28/2011 1:45:09 PM
Glee rides on the back of this physical, spiritual and emotional "letting rip", ushering in a pure exhilaration which then consummates a sated state of being - bliss, yes, Carolyn! Peace be to you and yours! xx
Gleeful (Poetry) - 11/23/2011 6:44:02 PM
Carolyn, this is a transformational piece -- full blown with lotus bliss as well as "full bloom with lotus bliss" -- the inner spirit emoting and then regaining complete and relaxing control -- I love this work for it relates so much philosophy in a rich condensed form--I bid you joy, love and peace my dear friend -- Jon Michael

"Shudderings fire chakra crown"
..there's enough material in that line
alone for an entire poem; your mind condenses
and pares thought so well, Carolyn, without
ever losing the essence of your theme
and that is poetic skill indeed.

"Limbo's discontent"
now that says it wonderfully,
that miserable wait, almost
a sense of being trapped..for me,
the most dreaded words in any office
or govt establishment are 'take a seat'
i just know sentence has been passed
and i'm about to serve time.
Good one, Carolyn.

We have to live in the fullness of each moment in order to truly set our course for the future; it's only by gleaning the import of the now that we can see clearly what's ahead. This is Seeing with reality and clear sight, Carolyn. Evocatively expressed with a deft lightness of spirit and touch. xx

inner focus is the truest sight ... as always. inspired poem, C.G. ....
Seeing (Poetry) - 11/1/2011 5:41:59 AM
Carolyn, you have captured the essence of "seeing", which is of course holistic -- versus merely looking, which is observation without critical analysis -- it is I suppose our tenuous position in the scheme of things that leads us into shallow thinking -- speaking of seeing, your latest photo is marvelous -- I bid you joy love and peace my dear friend -- Jon Michael

Why indeed, Carolyn? Life's reward is in the living.
I like what you say and the way you say it. -gene.
Reward (Poetry) - 10/19/2011 1:29:57 PM
This has the feel of "casting your bread upon the waters" and seeing a glorious bounty return, Carolyn. Why wait with "begging" bowl when the movement of water brings such fresh riches and new chances/opportunites with it? I like the spareness of your form here which compliments the mind-expanding thoughts you present within it. xx
Reward (Poetry) - 10/17/2011 2:14:39 PM
Carolyn, life's stream is the only adventure in town for mankind -- no "rocky ride" equals no rewards to be savored -- as for the "beggars bowl", it is always empty of true spirited sustenance and contains only subsistence quantity -- I bid you joy love and peace my dear friend -- love the updated photo -- Jon Michael

GUTTED (Poetry) - 10/6/2011 12:55:16 PM
Karla,
Coming from a family with very deep roots in military service (Revolutionary War onward), it is important to be clear that the message herein is NOT against Veterans; indeed the betrayal of Veterans by the US Government is a tragic component of the entire mess.
That said, it is an outrage that 60% of the Federal Government's Discretionary Budget goes to our entrenched war machine at the expense of ALL other domestic programs.
I currently have a young nephew in a combat zone in eastern Afghanistan (Fort Joyce) where incoming assaults are a daily affair. He is serving bravely. The family has to send care packages regularly to cover basic needs that the army does not supply--personal care items, first aid & over the counter meds, bedding, food, protective military clothing & gear! With all the money the government takes for military "needs" it is insulting to have troops in active service (and those who have already served) be short-changed this way! I do hope, Karla, that you complain regularly to your elected officials-- I do!
Thank you for your service,
Carolyn
GUTTED (Poetry) - 10/6/2011 4:16:11 AM

GUTTED (Poetry) - 10/6/2011 2:49:30 AM
Over $2 Million a Minute, and 60% of the budget - is mind-boggling. And only 1% of the budget on the Environment should be a frightening eye-opener for our dying planet, but most will not even see.
GUTTED (Poetry) - 10/6/2011 1:02:30 AM
Carolyn,
grim percentages
John
GUTTED (Poetry) - 10/5/2011 10:44:35 PM
So apt, timely, and TRUE, Carolyn! Same thing up here. Love and best wishes,

GUTTED (Poetry) - 10/5/2011 7:38:08 PM
As a disabled Veteran, I respectfully disagree ... try living on less than $245./00 a month, like I do. No food stamps. Cut off, because 'THEY' say I can work. No one wants me: over 50, no transportation, little experience, disabled. Also supporting disabled twin sis. If it weren't for government apartments, we'd be on the streets. Able to pay bills, but after that ... WHAT money for food? Our Veterans served and sacrificed. There should BE no homeless or hungry Veterans!

UNFORTUNATELY, THE ONES THAT SENT THEM THERE DID NOT CONTEMPLATE HOW 'HARD' IT WOULD BE TO GET THEM BACK OUT. WE STARTED A 'TASK' THAT HAS TO BE FINISHED. I WISH THAT THOSE THAT SENT THEM HAD THOUGHT IT OUT BETTER. IN ANY CASE, THEY ARE ON THERE WAY HOME, BUT ITS SLOW...LITTLE BY LITTLE THEY RETURN BUT THEY ARE CONSTANTLY IN ALL OF OUR PRAYERS. THANKS FOR SHARING, LOVE, BLESSINGS & FAITH...
