How I love envisioning the snail "Drinking the dewdrop's/Mystery." I enjoyed drinking in your personal essay on the LPR site as well, Irene. Especially: "The practice of writing poetry is a way to love the world – not a way to conquer it." I'm still chasing and needed to hear those words. xoMichelle Heidenrich Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02051827857519159837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375684657483536810.post-88017377131287385502015-02-03T05:33:04.061-06:002015-02-03T05:33:04.061-06:00I love how poems like this make me stop and just s...I love how poems like this make me stop and just savor the words, tasting them with my tongue.

Happy Birthday Month just around the corner! The small poems are lovely, especially Blackburn's Invitation Standing. The repetition of "just" and "just come" is so effective, I think. I can't say why but I get the feeling of ee cumings "in just spring when the world is puddle wonderful..." from this poem. Must be the word "just"! Thanks for a peak at Myra's selections.Joyce Rayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02905709719444916488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375684657483536810.post-90466403913012284412015-01-30T18:04:14.258-06:002015-01-30T18:04:14.258-06:00Have a marvelous birthday month, & your plans ...Have a marvelous birthday month, & your plans sound quite wonderful, Irene.

I like the way Myra Cohn Livingston's poem both depicts the wide variety in trees and that they follow the same journey.Karin Fisher-Goltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10180838581250572921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375684657483536810.post-38412680538349731982015-01-30T11:08:43.119-06:002015-01-30T11:08:43.119-06:00Your birthday activities sound great.

I like those "downy legs" of Myra's poem, the inviting "never mind"s of the last poem, and beauty of a small perspective: "Weather and rose<br />Is all you see,<br />Drinking the dewdrop's<br />Mystery" in the first.
