an interesting title to your poem - given I have composed what I refer to as 'Rachel Psalms' - Some are in metaphor and others relate to the Rachel Bible stories and a girl named Rachel.

While I cannot find myself to comment on your above contribution - my Rachel material numbers in the area of 200 or more poems

Therefore I could not resist the temptation to drop in and have a read.


a poet who cares

Thanks for the read poettothecars. I have
no idea why I picked the name Rachel...
except I love it. It could have been
me... I remember feeling I was spinning
the earth when I was small and the center
of the universe. I think perhaps our
foremother Rachel, from the Bible
felt the same when she was but 4.  

Thank you so much om.
