Maybe this is where the silence comes from, knowing this, and then accepting it. It is just in the last few years I've learned this and it was a surprise for me. I had very big eyes. I laugh to think on me discovering it now.<br /><br />And so the word regret is the most ineffectual word ever.<br /><br />And yet, And YET (you know this) if I were a witch I'd gather herbs to part the crowd and have you find <i>her</i>.<br /><br />xo<br />erinWoman in a Windowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14747858840088922077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2377252801421681569.post-89045253426028199832010-09-04T19:02:28.941-07:002010-09-04T19:02:28.941-07:00You are sweet to tell me such things, my Harlequin...You are sweet to tell me such things, my Harlequin.christopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04201537517464996231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2377252801421681569.post-8140704426531335472010-09-04T17:51:31.409-07:002010-09-04T17:51:31.409-07:00i am so taken with how all these ingredients work ...i am so taken with how all these ingredients work together, the image, the two lovely quotes and your use of the wednesday words in your thoughtful and gut honest poem. <br />completely enjoyable. thank you.Harlequinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04964772119118368322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2377252801421681569.post-14962822743791358292010-09-04T17:10:45.021-07:002010-09-04T17:10:45.021-07:00Christine, thank you for saying so.

This is like cartoonists who learned that a three fingered hand plus thumb saves time by being much easier to draw and so let us imagine the fourth finger, and how you don't need to draw every line to get by, especially true between forehead and nose. There are plenty of other stylized tricks.<br /><br />I hoped you noticed the background form of lines of haiku syllables. That's the form for my poetry, which developed from haiku on the blogs.christopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04201537517464996231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2377252801421681569.post-11828988345721213142010-09-04T12:07:50.815-07:002010-09-04T12:07:50.815-07:00This succinctly conveys what, at least to me, is a...This succinctly conveys what, at least to me, is a very tangled ball of emotions; a nice piece!

Thanks for your comment, dirt.<br /><br />ThomG, I think to be true to the poem you sort of have to hate it or at least regret it. :)<br /><br />Karel Capek is Polish, I believe, Susannah, and I remember him from Speech and Drama I took in college a hundred :) years ago.<br /><br />Penny, thanks for saying so. I agree with you that our gardens have opinions. They are quieter in general than the gremlins though.<br /><br />Nara, I don't know whether to apologize or hold gratitude for direct hits like that. I guess it is a confirmation that some of the emotions that I know so well are common. I see by your site that you write romance. You will see by coming here that much of my poetry is romance. Or you can check my archives and find out.christopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04201537517464996231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2377252801421681569.post-21939177166406418632010-09-02T14:16:05.910-07:002010-09-02T14:16:05.910-07:00Your words made a direct hit.
