I don't know really why, but this speaks to me something foreign, and soothing. Was that your intention? McLean |

muted ... "i may be reading this to fit my emotions" what you have said here, is exactly my own thought when it comes to those who read me. i'll explain... which will also answer the question that McLean asked... (i hope) i believe that when we read a poem, we take away from it what we need, or want, or desire.. and on and on.. where ever our mind is at, in that moment, when we read. for the most part, my poetry is in layers... if you know me well enough you might be able to see them.. but i don't show each layer easily. it's my defense. it's how i can write about myself (at times) and still keep the poem grey enough for the reader to see him/herself.. at least i hope so. so for me, sometimes the best compliment i can get is for someone to tell me where my poem took them.. or how they felt.. and have it be very different than that very bottom layer, which is me. and... if you've managed to read this ramble, then i thank you... very very much!! Thank you all for the comments, for as much as some of you have said here and in email, that i move you.... you've done that and more for me. hugs, snow "...why does my skeleton pursue me |

Snow~ Sometimes the exhale leaves me breathless ... just as this tenderly written piece does~ *Huglets*  ~*Marge*~ ~*When the heart grieves over what it has lost, |

but i don't show each layer easily. it's my defense. it's how i can write about myself (at times) and still keep the poem grey enough for the reader to see him/herself.. at least i hope so. One thing that isn't grey is your wonderful talent. You write so well and I see the layering that you do which is a wonderful gift that you give to the reader. Thank you. |
