Stubborn imprints colonize Birdwatcher midlands Silver candelabras Wide board pines Azalea-rich girlish butter Remembers with great pleasure Travel writers…wheels of willingness Passengers and double doors Signs nesting maternal Spitting images Changing with purpose Longing for intrusion Covering all bets Of nature’s interest Entering a church of art Sight-seeing Raphael Dousing lymph nodes Milestones wearing lipstick Where happy occasions Carefully sob Choosing words with great care The smell of prayer put to the test Is there one, who fights off gag reflex? Grand mama whispers through the front door Bout a casting call for ticket men Ones with silent coverage Doused in appointments Of which they keep Radiant and hopeful Void of running shoes They are there, filling life itself Repairing all cracks in their homes Checking bright eyed country For the prize bull Spending 6 years measuring my own stillness Operating room squeezes hands Save the inner voice, I whisper And for hours I listen Wondering where I was and why I could not see While recognized voices awaken me |

Your writing has depths that I feel I can never reach... let alone sometimes understand. Still, there is a quality to your words that inspires me to continue reading. And that, my friend, is poetry. |

In your complexity, which is sometimes a challenge for me, I find beautiful tunes that I love to hear. Love, Margherita ![]() |

LeeJ You play with words, like no other...hang them like so much bright clothing on the line in the sun and shadow...I love to read the depth of your poetic mind! "Where happy occasions Carefully sob" See what I mean? |

very intresting, the complexity of each stanza increases as the poem ventures on. there are a lot of things the reader can take away from this poem, and each reader will take away something different. Awesome write! Enjoyed it! Pimpin and panderin, on a level you can't serve, dismantle, nouns, pronouns, adverbs, and verbs |
