Dear poet of color and words all crazy joy above some sad.

See in this letter, me wrapped in words that come from the underside of the ocean, the color not the place, is tuned in behind my eyes when closed and the monsters I'll eliminate and re-name, Not Very Scary, and send some other place.

Do you know the color of remarkable? Like a child's newborn eyes, that is how words fix and mend and blather most of the time with sound and light within.

To harness thought is my day long for they run away and jump the fence to freedom on the other side away from mind.

No matter what the sound, it is my song. Some parts stay behind and bleed and sing and weep and play a beat within my soul, even rhyme (but barely) in the way someone or other thinks I should, instead all mixed and wired into good.

I'm happy to read the sunny can shine and to know something of your way and time...even would like more. I hope you gift it with this opening we make, from place to far off place, made close by only words.

I've written private things to you...you may not even want to know, but the heart is my muse this minute and so on and on it goes.
-------------

Thank you, PIP poet friends, for who you are and what you've contributed to my life.

Martie you are, have always been and will always be one of those who can take my breath away, make me laugh, cry, think and be joyful. Your talent is a gift that you have graciously shared with us. I thank you for that. You are a treasure!

Martie,

Color (or colour here) when related to the spiritual takes on a life of it's own.  The essence of your write, whether conscious or not, goes a long way towards a different form of (inner?) sight that gives true meaning to colour.

Thank you for your response on my poetry today and feel free to e-mail me if you wish (ivor@ivordavies.co.uk), it sounds like even though our poetry is different we may have walked similiar pathways...

God Bless,

Ivor

Beautiful sweet Martie...
When you paint you use all the colors of the rainbow.  

In the midst of winter,
I found there lives within me..
An invincible summer.

Do you know the color of remarkable?

Well, yeah....as a matter of fact I do....and its name starts with a capital M....

This is such a stunning departure for you, an altogether new style, and I hope we see more of it.....experimentation is the very hallmark of good poetry. At the same time, you've kept the casual grace that shines in so much of your work, and it warms my heart to see that.

So, carry on dear lady! Own it!

Martie - I'm so glad for these moments of "catch-up".  Thank you for sharing your wonderful words which I know aren't "just words" but from the heart of you.  It's a pleasure to read you and thereby know perhaps just a little of you but enough to call you "friend".
