Remark the dripping rain at night upon the back of an old trash can sound bites I am percussive proclamation of hearing right In the morning like jewels the grass and leaves beget a thousand reflections of the sky who cannot believe in that The air is fulsome filling flight of birds who watch the water swell and wait until first light the serpent's slither silver slippery delight of catching Oh the weight of waiting is sweet as time ticks the clouds closed and the wind wipes the sky clean filling space with spirit air there where God sleeps Within the patterns of the broken fragments of light reflected in corners and doorways barefoot even crushed beneath the raging breath of earth almost cursed we are blessed [This message has been edited by Martie (01-23-2010 06:44 PM).] |

Lizzie said it! WHEN are we going to be able to hold a book by you in our hands at bedtime? I have bound most into a 3-ring binder, but what a thrill it would be to have a book signed by you. You are the best! |

Your poetry is so many things, so alive and colorful, your words are so very delicate they flutter down the page, seemingly weightless in their elegance and rare beauty. As always Martie, it is truly a pleasure~~ |

Martie, Your poetry simply amazes me! Every word, so precisely tucked in, so that when I read it, it controls my tone and speed, centering my thought, yet, letting my thoughts spread far beyond. But then, I wish to savor more, coming back to the wonderful alliteration and powerful use of words, sounds, and image. Wow! Your talent overwhelms me. Loved it all, but these words especially: "even crushed beneath the raging breath of earth almost cursed we are blessed" I, too, would love to have an autographed book! I'm glad to hear this may happen soon. misce' |
