I am free 2/6/2010 4:02 pm


The air is crisp and sweet.
The breeze blows my hair-
gently it tickles me.
It is both annoying and nice.

The birds are singing.
Some just chirping...
Flitting to and fro
who knows where.

The snow is melting.
I see grass
poking up here and there in patches.
There's lots of mud and puddles.

There is a hint of springtime-
the sun, tho weak, is warmer.
It caresses my face
and it warms the depths of my soul.

I close my eyes,
turn off my ears
and let my spirit simply absorb.

I am free.

Dear Miss Abigail Mannering aka Shanna Casering,
The name jumped out at me that was the first thing I noticed.  Then I started reading what seemed like a bunch of typos.
I was reading it in contracted Braille, and at first it was puzzling then I saw that the ¡§mistakes¡¨ were actually consistent.
Like #0 instead of O ¡K
Anyway ¡K don¡¦t tell us what Abigail casering has to do with Miss Shana Manering, so that you will remain mysterious, intriging and inscrutable and I have to use my imagination!!!!!!

Yes, the errors may be consistent but I got so wrapped up trying to solve a puzzle that I forgot what I had read.  So I reread it and found it pleasant.  If it was your intention to force readers to give your work a second read it worked on me.

they were not errors, i simply had originally typed/wrote it on my cell phone, and often use 0 for o for the sake of time.

To be free is among the highest aspirations of the soul, and you've touched upon it with a lovely poem. I always think of the millions who live under oppression, and my heart goes out to them as I take in the meaning of your poem.

Best wishes --

Ahhh...this reminds me of driving with the windows down, sunroof open, feeling alive.

Thanks.
