where the wild flowers grow

Today,
the backdrop of the world
is warmer than
the
palm of our hands
combined.

Lest
we let
that keep us
from
shivering,

being held
makes me
feel
like there's a damn good reason
to be cold.

these lines set well the form, by creating an image that draws the reader in, the following lines, then the ending, all deliver the punch, the part that takes your breath for a second, in understanding and in empathy...

you dear do truly impress me... you write well beyond your years in understanding and have the talent to deliver the words in such a way they become a part of the reader...

I'll be proud to say one day... "I read her before..I read her when.."

your words are a seer and guide, and need to be published for all to rein in the wealth of your mind.  Astounding write...took me right in and held me very closely.

I'm going to have to disagree with those above.
You miss me with this one.  I don't see it.

That COULD be a problem, Glider. But there's no way I could possibly explain. My apologies.

Another stunning piece. I agree, a remarkable talent you have. I am looking forward to watching it grow with you. (The mind boggles as to how it will grow )

i know exactly what you mean....i like this one alot

joy has its own justice. and dreams are languid and lawless. and everything bows to beauty, when it's fierce and when it's flawless...
