To celebrate joining a year ago today...and a couple thousand posts ..................... There is a place That I’ve built To house the corpses To keep the bodies Of bled-out romance Of murdered trust I store them there To keep them with me To keep them close Fragile broken things Scattered and jumbled Throughout this shrine That I’ve built To lust and greed and deceit I visit them still Now and again Examining each in turn Frozen in time Perfectly preserved The scars from every hurt Accuse and accurse So I’ll address them One or another And drape them With the vestments Of alternative futures And they are not soothed And they do not forgive |

wranx~ Your feelings are vivid in this. Methinks the 'visit' is familar to all of us who call ourselves poets. You are such a deep thinker, so wise in your years. And this is only the first, sheesh? (sorta, maybe, kinda) Thank you Sir, for the blessing of your words~ |

You said not to expect perfection from you and I try so hard not to, but here you go again! To top it all off, you speak of a topic with such clarity I bet every person knows so well, but you take that subject and just hit us in the gut with it. You are one of my favorites and this is why, but on this occasion Congratulations on your milestone and most importantly, thank you for doing your craft so well and sharing it. |

Congratulations on two milestones. For 2000 posts and for your one year anniversary at PiP. You claim not to be a poet but reading this dispells that claim. Your poetry is not so much from the heart as it is from the soul.... |

So I’ll address them One or another And drape them With the vestments Of alternative futures And they are not soothed And they do not forgive Ed, you are such a talented writer. I know that I tell you that all the time, but I just don't ever read a poem of yours that has anything at all wrong with it. I don't reply every time I read, because I have no idea what to say that would mean anything. But, I do want you to know that I love your poetry and I do read it. Congratulations, Ed, on being here for a year and for your 2000 posts.  Hugs to you  Ethel |

Exactly. "So I’ll address them One or another And drape them With the vestments Of alternative futures And they are not soothed And they do not forgive" it's the only way understanding is assured, yes? Hugs, m'yeti...  (congratulate US?) |

thanx wranx, for sharing some scar tissue that sounds weird, I know, but I also know you know exactly what I mean.... your sharing often helps someone else's healing  |

As another recent poster, commented, sometimes sharing your scars can help another heal. You have helped this "other" heal. Thank you, very much.  |

A dark recess of the mind where we cloak these unwanted memories we keep them blind. Well written! Core |

Frozen in time Perfectly preserved The scars from every hurt Accuse and accurse A year ago, this could have been describing me... but spring does come to even the most frozen wasteland. *S* And as others have indicated before me... your words have made a difference. *S* Congratulations on both milestones, wranx... |
