Immaturity seeded; neglect tended. And now to the bargaining table resentment brings the harvest. Blame bloomed into bitterness- freshly cut and vased or forever kept withered, dried and pressed between memories; it remains. Covetous and control were cultivated, intermixed, too similar to separate too strong to be weeded. Deep rooted, hatred’s seed waits not for an opportune season its fruition is year round. Droplets tainted with saline irrigate the ground; the sun does not shine. A half century it takes to wonder what developed of love’s seed and to where has intimacy disappeared-but looking locates lonely remains strangled among the briars. Neglect tended what immaturity seeded and now come harvest time even the sheaves are crying. [This message has been edited by jellybeans (07-15-2003 04:23 PM).] |

"Neglect tended what immaturity seeded and now come harvest time even the sheaves are crying." This...leaves me speechless. ~Heart hugs~ ~If you haven't heard the sunset, |

Blame bloomed into bitterness- freshly cut and vased or forever kept withered, dried and pressed between memories; it remains. Oh, lady... it's hard to applaud the perfection of the poem when the pain is so obvious... but your images are too superb to ignore. Hugs... me. |

I like this J-beans. The way it slides along the edge, not quite falling into bitterness. Sad? Yes Strong? Yes ~wranx |

wranx, thank you, and yes I am still in the 'weeding' process, so the bitterness grows less and less....thanks again |
