Dusting sand from sun bleached bone uncovered slowly she lays them in outline of man fleshing out image in mind's eye of that which was but is no more |

Woah. A powerful capsule of imagery there, Raph... I like it, though the concept is saddening. -MVS You CAN make a difference: |

Very powerful. I always wanted to go on a archeological, putting a face to someone that lived so long a go, bringing their story to life. Great poem! |

...and will there be someone around to arrange our bones in order? The sand waits for us all...what a gruesome thought!  |

For years I had wanted to be an archeologist but I ended up opting for working with live bodies instead! Your incredibly stark, yet VERY WELL-WRITTEN poem, makes me realize in no uncertain terms, that I made the right choice!

Thought-provoking write, Raphael..not all history exists in books...bones have stories to tell too.. believe in what your heart feels... |

good use of textured words, riveting like a Picaso painting. |

Excellent use of kinetic imagery -- a short poem with movement and color ... the color of dust and sand and knowledge.... ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |
