the sky lowers, black on black rain pelts at my blinded windows vertical missy higgins sings for me and i find myself drowning in you in your oceanic eyes that hold storms of the sea perfectly with shadowy fish tangled deep i see all this save for my reflection and I am haunted by my illicit exquisite dream but I can't really wake up so I just drift in between ~ani difranco~ [This message has been edited by Dark Angel (10-22-2004 06:39 PM).] |

Maree As you always do...you paint emotion into the scene of your poem, with just a few well chosen words. Much enjoyed! |

A reflection searching the horizon of calm perhaps. Always enjoy your writes and this one is no exception. You have a unique talent for saying so much in so little words but never failing to express your thoughts or visions. Excellent. |

Quite a beautiful poem, the images in embedded inside leave the reader speechless. Tomorrow comes for those who fear it. |

Maree, as always with your poetry, I am sitting here in awe of your talent. I wish that I had the ability to get across what I want to say in as few words as you do. By the way, that picture of you up there is awesome, too. Hugs, Ethel |

I missed it and went looking for it. Tasty! Visually delicious as always. You have such a gifted way of painting masterpieces whenever the mood strikes you to pen anything. I imagine your grocery list would be something I'd be proud to have authored! You sink so much time, energy, and passion into everything you write it radiates back to the reader infinitely. I can't tell you how much I appreciate your writing, and to that end, how much encouragement and inspiration I receive from you to continue writing myself. You are a gifted girl...no question. Back to the top with this one! Warm regards as always, Kevin |
