Don't you DARE sell yourself short! This is a great piece of concise writing - very powerful! I am terrible at getting to other people's blogs and commenting lately - I am in the midst of preparing two books, plus trying to keep up with two blogs! My apologies for not dropping by and commenting. Keep writing, wordling, whatever. . .just stay at it! You will be noticed, I guarantee it! I'll sign up and follow you!
Let's try this again ... cut myself off again! This is glorious (and so succinct which always makes me a tad envious) - and I love the photo - was wondering if it's a Sandy "splash"? Very cool poem Pearl.
Posted my feelings over at the Whirl page, but wanted to chime in here at the source. Your work has to be good. We share the same thoughts from time to time. ;) Nicely done, Doctor!
Lost my comments. Trying again. There's no doubt about your skills as I had attested at the Whirl page. Besides, we think the same thoughts at times, so we have this thing covered between us. Nicely done, Doctor!
WOW! You guys have made my evening! So many delicious comments - that I am sure to have sweet dreams. THANK YOU so very very much - you truly have made my night :))))))
Thanks again Jazzbumpa and Rosemary - I'm having a bit of an internet problem here so keeping my reply short but nevertheless please know I am grateful for your comments :)))

ReplyDeleteI admire the dual accomplishment of brevity and depth in your poem. Nicely done!
ReplyDeleteSuccinct and rich in meaning, like truth but quicker!
ReplyDeleteThere's so much going on here in just seven lines. Bravo!
ReplyDeletePearl, I like that last line -- salted with storm-swept sand! Always good to see you in the "Pantry."
ReplyDeleteI second Mary's appraisal of that last line. I think it's wondrously wrought.
