The Place Where Shivers are Born The place where shivers are born is found inside where no one has been It is full of things that fairly often make goose bumps upon my skin. It has a collection of dreams you see they are blowing leaves in the wind that I reached for but couldn’t grasp needing to grow before trying again. In the season of spring I hear it as I nestle with the window open and warm day turns to cool night air because it’s then my song is spoken. My bare feet race the hardwood floor the trees in the yard where nests are built and such small effort I see has dwelt in the place where shivers are felt. Now I see I have let them out I had to look inside to find in modest amounts each one so small the warm place they had left behind. In the dew of little things, |

We all have our 'shivers' - leave it to you - to remind us - in that uniquely poetic way - you inspire us to |

Ah Martie, you brought home to my mind the cool California mornings, when the fog was still inland, but the sun was just breaking through... and shivers roamed my spine... |

"needing to grow before trying again" I think that pretty much sums it up, Martie. Well done! This is good work, my friend. Michael Proust- |

Beautiful writing Martie! Just simply beautiful! "My bare feet race the hardwood floor the trees in the yard where nests are built and such small effort I see has dwelt in the place where shivers are felt. Now I see I have let them out I had to look inside to find in modest amounts each one so small the warm place they had left behind." There will never be a shiver that could kill the beautiful warmth you have inside. The places where shivers are born is right here when I read your poetry I get shivers up my spine when I think about how simple your words seem on the outside but are so deep within themeslves........great work dear flower girl! The role of poetry is to utter the un-utterable; to open up |

I know whereof you speak, Martie, but could never have said it so wonderfully. And not that there was a thing wrong with the "other" picture, but this one allows us to "see" all your words. jwesley |
