That is some deep tale of love? or loss? I think a little bit of both.....

This is the first time I read you. Very good. :)

 

Well it's a reaction to feeling unable to pursue my life path for lack of time, energy, and self-discipline. I desperately need not to have to work. Work is for people who have no creative goals!

 

Ahhh you know that I am one of your biggest fans!! This is by far one of my favorite works you've produced! I already know that you want to know why!!! Because, one day I was riding in the car and my boyfriend was driving. We were sitting in some road construction and a lady was weeding in her yard and I had expressed the thought that it would hurt so bad if he left or died...he asked me to compare it to something and told him that he should think of it as if that lady weeding had cut a flower, or plant and how it would feel to that flower or plant. Sometimes I think that nature has a way with at one time or another making us feel so in tune that we all get on the same thought process. NOW if everyone were to utilize that, could you imagine what a better place we would all be in!!!

Great write Erin.... LOVED IT AS ALWAYS!

 

You do seem to be able to see deeply into my writing and interpret freely according to your own experience. This is actually how I hope for my poems to be read. I don't want readers to figure out "what I mean", I want them to do as you do, dig in and find a way of connecting with the words personally, from their own experience. Then it becomes my treat to hear about how the reader's reaction to the words, and how they experienced it. You're good for offering such information. :) And I always enjoy it when you do.

Thanks again!

 

Love. Love.

Entranched in depth.
 

Glad you enjoyed, Monique. :)

 

never know.....

 

yet we're always knowing

 

 

Thanks, Chrissy. Glad you were able to get something from this. It's nice to hear from you. :)

 

 

And sometimes the conditions of living are like such snows, nipping possibility in the bud before it ever has a chance to realize its full potential.

Glad you enjoyed, Kristaline.

 

Having something of a green thumb, I like the feel of this...I hate having to prune and deadhead my flowers and plants, but also know that it's so they can grow back bigger and better in the end. Hate it when the frost gets the tender new ones, though. This had a nice rhythm and good imagery to it. I agree, btw, about work not being conducive to those with creative aspirations! :)

 

Glad you enjoyed. This poem is inspired by my frustrating with not having the time and/or energy to pursue on one true passion, poetry. I feel that there's so much I could do with the art, yet I rarely have time or energy to spend on it.
