Ethel, from the heart of a humble man, who has never worn a giant's shoes... His words, rough as granite shards, yet soft, filled with kindness....wisdom... Vanity...humility... Stumbling over sticks, slipping on syllables, mumbling iamb as he became I AM... Wondering if ever he could, if the words of silk could flow the stream of life, if the vowels would slip off a tongue into the stew, now steaming in wait. Tread the worm walk, hear the birds sing of days when nights became dreams. Listen to the softness of a falling leaf onto new born snow. Carry the quill of spontaneity as ink splashes merrily in wait...hear the master’s call... Write of the wind on sails, the waves ashore, a maiden’s blush... so very much more. Write of the heart that fell, a yearn to quell, a whispered thought....for naught? Come, join those who are humble, writing words of heart....that we might grow and become poets....together! |

Stumbling over sticks, slipping on syllables, mumbling iamb as he became I AM... ~*~ I love this line... it made me smile...and I don't think it will disappear for the entire day, now... not when I think of iamb I Am |

Barry, I felt the warmth of your heart and your hug as I read these words. As Martie said, they came right through the screen and reached me. Now, there are tears in my eyes, but I still thank you from the bottom of my heart. Heart hugs to you, sweet poet-friend Ethel (by the way, you are a very big poet-giant in my eyes)  |
