my name is michele i have fear of open spaces and have social anxiety but i like trees and stray cats they're like heart bouquets they catch me when i fall the trees are my echo they can imagine freedom as they stretch into the sky and never sleep with blinders on and they can dig deep into perdition and tie knots into ancient history that roots and rots along the same foundation the cats are cruising they come to me when their tummies cry then leave me empty plates and never ever say thank you mam but they know i'm here for them and truly believe what i try to tell some humans about me.. it's that when i love i love forever and will never turn my back on anyone i don't bore easily when i find something that touches me the world is cold it gets warmer when connections come with even the folly of tiny four legged creatures that meow and look at me for bellyfood as for the trees watch their moves watch mine they ache,i ache they shiver ,i shiver we do the seasons like 2 mimes in a mirror how much harder can the rain hit how dark can the sky threaten to shake loose their growing pastels yet they stand as martyrs in the face of all adversity a poet i know tells me enough of the trees no more nature, write real i ask him in all these months that i've lamented myself into sanity with empty arms thrown up in disarray onto the cold steel winter sky they still embrace me do you? |

I was going to pick a stanza earlier on in the poem that had touched me then after reading the entire piece again I can only say the entire thing moved me. This ending aches dear gal. I love your tell it like it is poetry and no matter how you write it, I enjoy it.  |

I love your poetry of nature - and it sounds as if trees and you are symbiotic - write trees - write you - write cats - all you do is a pleasure or ache to read - that's good poetry - hugs Michelle - Susan If I wander far enough, long enough, will I finally know . . . |

are all brooklyners as tough as you? i liked 'we do the seasons' most of all and the part about 'writing real' in this work i see promise as a writer or at least the ability to express your deepness as a human being and i agree with earlier post: the great thing about this is that its consistent, you keep it fresh and strong the whole way through so what's it going to be then, eh? |

Smiling at the responses... This didn't go where I expected it might, Michele... that's what made it such a pleasant read. |

it's that when i love i love forever and will never turn my back on anyone i don't bore easily when i find something that touches me the world is cold it gets warmer when connections come with even the folly of tiny four legged creatures that meow and look at me for bellyfood I like this so much!!! *S* And as I read... I think those who answer the title with "yes" are fortunate folks. *S* |

Michele, I am so pleased we have met here on these pages, because I can FEEL your poetry and I KNOW your heart and beauty through it. This is a wonderful write. And be sure that the cats don't come exclusively for the bellyfood ... they too feel your love. I love your connection with the trees and the way you express this. Love IS and you are aware of this beautiful truth. Thank you! Love and hugs. Margherita |
