Profound philosophy in few words. They say the way you make love is the way God is with you….. It is finally a means to transcend the flesh.. and merge with life’s longing for it self……
If you felt a connection with the soul , that is what you will remember ,,,,,,
Absolutely brilliant !
such a great comment and way of explaining the poem! thank you:)
Exquisite. Every poem is wonderful. Better than wonderful. If you don’t get published soon I’m going to slap you. Metaphorically.
lolol thank you so much, I’m submitting some for a contest with a deadline November 30th, so fingers crossed!
That’s great. I’m going to enter some of my articles soon, as well. I have to edit them again. Add and delete. I want to be more meticulous for literary magazines.
that’s awesome:) I wish you good luck, I always love your style of writing, it’s hard to explain, you can approach serious things and make give them a perspective that is both deep but the writing makes it feel light–if that makes sense lol
It does make sense. I try not to write about something personal unless I can maintain some distance. Then I can write with humor. And there is a funny part to almost anything, given time. Thank you for such a wonderful compliment. I don’t know if I’ve forced you to read this yet, but The Quarter is the post that I feel has been the best so far and it’s dark humor. But no takers yet. http://www.saneteachers.com/2016/01/06/the-quarter/
just read through that post, it is so beautiful and touching, and I love the dark humour in it as well! Was that one featured? It should’ve been, I love it!
No, it wasn’t. And I’ve sent it in to 2 literary magazines, one a contest. I’m going to rewrite it and try again. Even at the time I knew how bizarrely funny it was. I submitted it a while back to Discover but never heard back. I think, and this is unsolicited advice for you as,well, that how we present our little blurb to the contest or literary magazine is very important. At least for creative non-fiction/memoir essays. I had 2 authors give glowing comments, one, Patty Danny, a significant author. I couldn’t figure out how to get that into a summary without looking pushy. And I don’t know what they want from a poetry entry. Thank you for reading it. Does your mom know that I’m her adopted sister?
lolol, not yet, but I am going to see her thursday or friday and let her know:D! That is good to know about the blurb as well! It is such a great piece, but I would be curious to see a re-write almost a year after it’s original publishing, that would be cool!
Amazing. Just as your work always is.
thank you Barbara:)
Loved it. 💙
