I was just at Molly Hogan's blog and she wrote about things that happen just outside the picture frame....which reminds me of your lines. It's what isn't explicit....the parts we make up that our minds love to play with. What a beautiful sculpture. I think you've paired a beautiful poem to it.

They always begin the bulletin with a little poem that is somehow connected to writing/creating. This poem perfectly describes what we set out out to do with our words.Kimberly Hutmacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17481478199892532599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375684657483536810.post-51354204969328642882018-04-21T08:00:08.194-05:002018-04-21T08:00:08.194-05:00I like reading about your own thoughts before writ...I like reading about your own thoughts before writing, another way to approach this poem. That thought of wanting to hear the "after" and the "triumph" comes from terrible need. I love that you saw that, Irene. And I like the rhythm that you chose, story-like!Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375684657483536810.post-47789660175216385952018-04-21T00:36:19.135-05:002018-04-21T00:36:19.135-05:00Beautiful poem Irene, it has a soft tone but carri...Beautiful poem Irene, it has a soft tone but carries such a strong and important message, "so I can get through this terrible day." Makes you appreciate what's really important.
