my dangling body and soul hung out to drip dry in solar winds stardusted... vapor trails... thoughts left up floating endlessly aimlessly in life's jetstream dangling strangling your thin airspace leaves me gasping begging for more... my dangling body and soul awaits the breath of you |

Thanks, Sunshine! I think I'll dangle in the blue as long as possible today, to start the month out on a passionate note. |

very well done... i like the visually spaced poem, that reads like a painting... the mood moving with the flow of the words. |

'your thin airspace leaves me gasping begging for more... my dangling body and soul awaits the breath of you' With 'breaking news' in the background, this reads quite eerily this morning. |

 OMG. not again. My heart is aching. I had no idea, had not been listening to news this morning.For those who may not have heard yet, the space shuttle 'Columbia' is down, apparently disintegrated over Texas this morning, 16 minutes before the scheduled landing. I just realized that I had written and posted this only one hour before this tragedy happened. I am on Mountain time, Texas is central time. Pips must be the next time zone over.

..almost as if you knew--quite beautiful and somewhat haunting, considering the circumstances--enjoyed! "And it was at that age...Poetry arrived in search of me...And something started in my soul." |

Sandpiper, thank you for reading and for your reply to this one. I sat and stared at this blue screen when I heard the news report, and chills and tears overwhelmed me. This was not a poem I had worked on or even thought about, it was one that just came to me 'out of the blue' Saturday morning, gifted by my mysterious muse. |

Oh, God... how breathtakingly beautiful. I felt that solar wind. This is amazing; the art you paint is so incredibly rich in meaning to me... thank you for words so beautiful that I can barely respond with words passionate enough to describe how beautiful this is. Thank you... |
