Beautiful poetry. I am not so familiar with Haiku, but especially loved the following:

emerging from ice

and snow—a white swan—appears

"abject moon—thy sorrow"

Beautifully written, and poignant.

Great poem, perfectly expressed with the emotional dips and dives of a true poet.

You took us over the hill and back down again,
in the emotional insights you share.
Great job.

Very beautiful, profound, and majestic, written I think from the soul or that place of All-That-Is, that exists inside of us.

It held a special resonance for me, today, and so I am so glad that I read your beautiful poem Countryfrog. (Always want to call you Soulfrog, and then remember your screen name--which is also a fine name. I guess because your poems are so soul-based.)

Exceptional poem. I really love your poetry.

This one is just perfect for me today, and i also feel guided, intuitively, to read your poems from time to time. They seem heaven sent. : )

I especially love the first line of how our joy can erase the footprints in the sand. So powerful and true.

Beautiful descriptions John,
and a wonderful expression of the heart.

Very touching poem.

2012-11-03
Wonderful poem and beautifully written.

I love the thread of uncertainty and yet there feels a sense of acceptance towards the end, liked the crane, for who we are and, perhaps, acceptance for the path that is less traveled.

(My interpretation at least.)

Lovely poem and I so enjoyed reading it.
Thanks for sharing.

Very interesting poem, and so well expressed.

Love the last lines:

loneliness
is in different rooms,
the baggage handlers
unable to cope.


Very interesting way to express it.

2012-10-21

A song to the soul, indeed.

I like your idea of wanting to build a new world, free of the limitations of the old one.

Great poem, well expressed.

2012-09-23
Excellent poem. Really beautiful in its depth of expression of the paths we try and pursue, even if only in the mind, that are absent in our hope gathering of love.

I really liked your poem.

2012-09-19
Wonderful poem. I love your inclusion of the transience of everything and that the ancients measured everything in months.
A good reminder to slow down and take our "time."

2012-09-07

A sad and reflective piece, with such depth and soulfulness.

This is my favorite too. They probably all are my favorites actually.

Lovely, tender poem.

Beautiful description of a rouged terrain. Beautifully expressed. I love your detail of the landscape.

My favorite of yours.

2012-08-02
I love the way you describe writing as something that emerges from sacred places--be these memories or momentary experiences.

I loved your text, and how you describe all creative expressions coming from that place of sacredness.

2012-07-31
Lovely poem, with nice use of opposites. It made it very interesting, and a delightful read.

Thanks.

Very beautiful and meaningful poem, to me.

There is a tapestry, I believe, that is woven through the fabric of time and space that is unseen, by most, but can be seen by those attuned to their inner sense and mind's eye, who are not blinded by the physical (sight) of this world.

I loved your poem. It touched me deeply.

Thank you for sharing it.

2012-07-23

Rain Life.

What a wonderful melody of description for rain, water, in all of its versions and disguises. So beautifully expressed and unique. I have never read a poem that is dedicated to rainfall before.

Lovely poem Shells.

The One Heart

A beautiful poem, so touched with truth and awakening. A gifted poem and beautifully expressed.

2012-07-10
very beautifully written and expression of the truth of peace.

2012-07-10
I love the poem, especially the last verse where you await that something over the hill, that perhaps transcends the experience.

2012-07-10
Very meaningful poem, and beautifully written.
I agree that frailty, our vulnerability, and choice to surrender opens the gate wide to truly receiving the richness within us.

2012-06-22
I like your idea that problems exist from boredom. I think that's very true.

Very enlightening poem and beautifully written

2012-06-22
That is so touching. I love your poem.

The ideas that our tears become satin petals that connect us to heaven. Very beautiful.
