to quest's bend ... the questing worries my soul run as i may, run to dismay away from whats and wheres running down the whens and hows words of quest to burn my best those odd shaped marks we use telling answers to pay their dues its circle not complete to show for it knows not where to go until it hears retort's treat the mark's bidding serves us all to voices raised at quest's end a glass to heave to quest's bend for without, words seem so blah how dare we -- language with a flaw M.A. Miller 07.21.00 < !signature--> My calling before me, let quill be my offering; For to be called poet, no greater gift to receive.

Writing is indeed a quest, such as life itself. Thoughtful commentary, MA. ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

wonderful musings on writing. why must we pray screaming? why must not death be redefined? we shut our eyes we stretch out our arms and whirl on a pane of glass-patti smith |

thank you both ... (brian) you can call it musing, but quite frankly, the thought of a question mark troubled me for a long time ... if you're interested in etymology in the least, research the roots of the question mark ... i'm sure you'll be as intrigued as i was ... thanks again for reading ... m.a. |

MAMiller~ What intrigue that drew you to these lines - 'those odd shaped marks we use telling answers to pay their dues its circle not complete to show for it knows not where to go' 'how dare we -- language with a flaw' Wonderful depth. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Well done MA. I read your reply to Brian and I am going to do just so. I think it is going to add to the meaning of your poem. Good work all the same! |
