Beautiful! Surely such beauty causes flack out of sheer jealousy.

Can't be kept down, Love, thank Heaven. Thank you for this growing place.

Beautiful relief, I will take this "crack" this "avenue" over all else. The elegance, the sure beauty of the poem mirrors the "ever blooming" beauty it describes.

One one of the best reads I've seen in a good while. Love the final stanza the most.

This is lovely. I enjoyed the pace and rhyming so much I read it several times.

The resilience of love - you've captured that so amazingly here. Beautiful!

Hi Elizabeth, It's lovely. Strange how weeds can grow anywhere.

Posted by Jean Mollett on 04/15/08 at 03:44 AM

Yes, indeed. Love keeps going. :)

I've been getting into cadence recently, so this gravid allegorical infloresence of yours was music to my ears, despite the irreversible demise of my cognitive functions :>

I love the simplicity of this poem as well as its message. Beautifully done!

Ah what sweet metaphor and beautiful feeling...I am, there is no other word for it, enchanted!

Had to come back for another read - this one really struck a chord with me.

Colourful reminder of how nature eventually takes back what is hers.

This one brought me a Jillion smiles...Charmin

What a gorgeous take on an old concept! It takes true brilliance to bring a new light on this, this line is wonderful ""Destroy! Its revelry intrudes the skein!" That goes in my beautiful-quote database.

Weeds will grow anywhere- despite any obstacle. They are persitant and don't care what's in their way. GREAT write (as always~!)

the sort of dance taking place in this would make Nureyev envy as it leaps and spins and then lands and markedly is my heart altered a beat.
