Oh I do understand her pain....I suffer the same way. She still loves you just as much as before. It's just so painful for her to show it some times.

2005-07-16
Interesting choice of words here...I like it very much!

2005-07-16
Very beautiful!!!!
I read it automatically as Two Eyes with out thinking and then afterwards saw it was "To Eyes" How did you mean it?

2005-07-16
Comforting and sensuous! This is such a lovely write. I hope she knows how you feel!!!

2005-07-16
I still say you a a very old and wise soul stuck in that young body.
Your poetry is that of an old and wise bard. You are and amazing kid! (((HUGS))) .

Nicely done indeed!!!
I felt so sad, when I was a kid after Nam was over. Our boys were treated so badly when hey came home and their futures were ripped from them because they suffered mentally.
Serving your country was something my father was very proud to do when he went off to Korea, years before I was born. I was taught early what serving your country meant. I have so much respect for our men and now, women who serve.

"Each night i dream of you,
That you shall make me whole.
Just as your voice remains
A ripple on my soul."


JJJJust georgious!!!!! Soooo Lovely!!!

Very beautiful prayer, so hopeful!

It has it's ups and downs and twiss and turns!!!! We try to keep them from getting hurt...the bruised knees and the bruised hearts...but we can only hide them from hurt for so long. Then all we can do is kiss the booboos and hold them when they cry.

Being a mother, this was a very emotional read for me. Done very well!!!!!

2005-07-12
Right, don't be burdened down with the things of this world!

2005-07-12
This reminds me of when I spent time in Taiwan...
the poor little villiages there with unclothed children playing in the dirt asking for food.
The dogs were sparce because they ate them. EWWWW!
Well painted picture!

2005-07-12
What BEAUTIFUL poetry!!!!! Myra you sing!!!!!!

2005-07-12
Hmmmm, I have the munchies...need some chips!
I know if i dug really deep in to this i'd feel as lost as this made me feel. It's like you are tying so very hard to make some appreciate you, or love you. Are you looking foracceptance here? I may be reading between the lines again, I do that sometimes. Your choice of words here is wonderful and the flow acceptional!

2005-07-12
Everyone should feel this way!!!! Very fun read with lots of hope for this world!!!!!

2005-07-10
Great imagery!!! This would make a wonderful painting!!!!

2005-07-10
Sad yet with hope! Nicely written!

2005-07-10
This is lovely!!!! I have a "moon" poem that I will be posting tomorrow. I don't know what it is about the moon but it holds something magical for all of us!!! Like your poem, it's magical!!!!

2005-07-10
This is so very sweet and loving!!!! I'm sure your moher was guhing after she read this, it even brought a tear of happiness to me as I read!!! Just lovely!!!

2005-07-10
You know Theo, for a young one you seem wise beyond your years!!!! It seems to me that you must be a very old soul just trapped in a teenage body! You amaze me!

2005-07-10
Simply a beautiful tanka.

"I feel the ripples of fire" That last line explains it all.

2005-07-10
WELL DONE and WELL SAID!!!! Choices are very personal. What may be the right choice for one could be all wrong for another. Very nice!!!!

2005-07-10
OY!! That first kiss could knock your socks off and I hope it does!!!!! :) this was very sweet!!!! I really enjoyd the read!!!

2005-07-09
A beautiful act of love made even more beautiful by your words!!!!

2005-07-09
he whole time I was reading this I kept thinking of the Beatles song "The Fool On The Hill".
"The chances of winning the lottery are equal to those of being thunderstruck
So the next time there's a thunderstorm, don't be afraid, abide the norm
And climb up into the highest tree you can see with as many tickets you can afford and a fourleaf clover for extra luck: ~Loved this part!!!!!

2005-07-09
Well myself not being Swedish, i'm sure I don't get this completely but I did enjoy it all just the same!!!!

2005-07-09
Theo, Nicely done! I found myself remembering my own relationship with my father...can be hard I know! Even for we girls!

2005-07-09
Blossoming love
grasping tight

A smile and a bow to you RK, you inspire me each time I read you!

2005-07-09
I do think you are a hopeles romantic!!!! The world needs more like you!!! Beautiful!

2005-07-09
Another awsome piece from you girl!!!! QUIT???? Never!!! This is just wonderful! I wish i could rate this at a million!!!!

2005-07-09
Poetry is many things to many different people! Poetry is all relative, meaning that we all relate to one piece differently. That's what makes it so wonderful! I love this site, it's the very best i've seen yet!!!!

2005-07-09
Sadly beautiful!!!

2005-07-09
Papercuts, to me would be less painful! Nice write!

2005-07-09
Exquisit!!!! I realy enjoy the format and choice of wording here. Especially this part.....
"on some nights
the book we read
is the one we're writing
and memory and wind
aren't always so comforting" Lovely!!!!

2005-07-09
Simply beautiful!!!! Dreamy qualities of other~wordly fantasy!!!!

2005-07-09
Because my sweet, 'tis simply life.
Eloquently stated!

2005-07-09
"The more we laugh, the less we cry. The more we live, the less we die."
I love that line, all alone it says so much!
I wish everyone had your wisdom!!!!

2005-07-09
I do love the moon, I am simply fascinated how it is connected to us and the earth! How it controls the tides and so many other things. Lovely write!

2005-07-08
Though I have respect for the poet and for the creativity of the poet I have to say that this is dangerous. We damn ourselves with our selfish acts and hatred towards whatever or whoever we disagree with.
Good flow and meter.

2005-07-08
Nice!!!! I agree with Ian, I was reminded of Adam and Eve as well!!!

2005-07-08
This is sweet...I enjoyed this one very much. You are very good at KU/RU!

2005-07-08
BEAUTIFUL!!!!I could smell the flowers as i read!!!!

2005-07-08
Awsome, awsome, awsome!!!!!! Your choice of words and structure just leaps out and hits me with such power!!!! Embrace the positive!

2005-07-08
Ah yes, The sad truth is that we all have it in us to change...so many just refuse and they are the worms that infest the undergroweth of humanity.
You certainly have a way with words and I Love it!!!!! Your poetry inspires me!!!! ~Laura

2005-07-08
First of all I love this, it's simple yet elegant!!!!
My take on this is.... Real Love will renew an old dead love., Blossom into something new and beautiful like leaves on a tree, the dead leaves will fall off and new ones will grow in place of the old when nurtured.

2005-07-08
I read this twice, getting the vision of someone with a very painful past trying to forget and that is causing even more emotional breakdown. putting old memories away.
Am I anyhwhere even close?
I mean, That is what leaps out at me.

2005-07-08
WOW!! I just read Stillhoppins "Injestion" and it goes handinhand with this poem!!!!
No knockin' the cake though....mmm cake! :) Great write here!!!!!

2005-07-08
I gave up coffee for Green tea, I don't smoke or do drugs but I love a good horror flick and yes my weakness is my Aunt Snookies Hot Milk cake (and old Pennsylvania Dutch recipe). MMM so creamy and yummy!!!! LOL
I also enjoy great poetry and I REALLY enjoyed this one!!!!!!
Excellent!!!!!! ~Laura

2005-07-07
Haiku and Senyru are favorite forms of mine...you do it very well!!
I get a very vivid picture from this! ~Laura

2005-07-07
Myra this is wonderful!!!!"lipped to dreaams" I love this line! Searching for that kiss of true love that will let you know it's here...finally here for you to hold onto even when you are awake!!!! Very nicely done!!!!! ~Laura
