Touching the Looking Glass touched the looking glass today and my name isn't Alice fingertips clinking vitreous silver but the image wasn't me… imagine my surprise! it was you looking out fingertips clinking vitreous silver Alice would have liked this! amazing how the touch clinked at the same instance thought waves waving cross acres and acres miles and miles bringing smiles and smiles through the looking glass making a winter day warmer and brighter I couldn't hear you but heard soft laughing on the wind and knew it was you… for I was softly laughing too… so much you said in what wasn't said but all wrapped up with a bow in the "I understand, I know" and the prettiest floral scent I could ever imagine was emanating from you… I could just hear your voice… like soft old perfumed hankies, your concern came through and you too read all the way through the lines… and you didn't let go… isn't life amazing? can you see God's plan? it makes me want to wake up at 4:44 in the morning and say "Wow"… so, soon we shall share lines and words and thoughts, as if watching green buds spring forth and lines will weave us in and the weave will keep us warm… as we birth a friendship and don't even feel the pain. 01.18.01 |

those last lines are a treasure. My goodness, this lifted my spirits this evening and I sure needed it. Yes, we don't even feel the pain just like you said. Thank you, thank you for this one. Kathleen |

KarileaSpirit~ 'and lines will weave us in and the weave will keep us warm… as we birth a friendship and don't even feel the pain' What a wonderful thought, my sweet friend. The whole poem has wrapped itself around my heart. I've printed you - and framed you in vitreous silver. What a marvelous gift is your friendship that comes wrapped in your poetry. I love ya', gal ! *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Wow! Captivating! There's a touch of class in your "Touch of Glass" Sorry to corrupt the title, but I couldn't help myself. It flowed so well with my phrase. This is really lovely and I liked to way you wove in the looking glass and Alice. Really lends the mysterious and fantasy to this dream-like piece. |

I love this, and the way you write always--a wonderously woven piece. Poeminister "...no single sound too rude upon thy slumber shall intrude, Our thoughts, our souls- O God above! In every deed shall mingle, love." -Poe |

so, soon we shall share lines and words and thoughts, as if watching green buds spring forth and lines will weave us in and the weave will keep us warm… ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It's hard to choose a favorite line in this one. It's all good. I will have to save this in my favorites. Love it! Deb |

Oh my friend...I hate to single out any of your poetry, but I've got to admit, I think this is my favorite to date. The writing here is unmatched and exquisite. Oh, isn't it amazing how friendship is born without pain, without tears and often without our even realizing it until it's growing strong. I do hope this poem is one you wil send out to a publisher. I can see it in print as clear as I'm reading it here. Hugs Ruth ~ Ruth www.angelfire.com/pa/OriginalMinds/index.html |
