| Posted by Kimberly Bare on 12/17/03 at 09:03 PM this leaves me breathless...i especially like the comparisons you used in this...and i feel every house could use a collage of faces where a mirror would be... |
| Posted by Leslie Ann Eisenberg on 08/16/06 at 01:59 PM a 5 year old poem? my goodness, how wonderful it must be to see your older work dusted off and on the front page...after reading, i'm so stunned. impressed. i love the infusion of paint here, that's a favorite theme of mine...i love the line, the rhythm, the sound, the sadness...and i love this: I want candlesticks that
melt confusion belly-dancing
in my den
I want pillows
that suck up tears and lick
knowledge into my ear
I want walls the color of wine
ferment my bruises
into lessons.....blown away. congrats on POTD. well deserved. PK |
| Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 08/16/06 at 02:20 PM Excellent poem Julie, and well worth the title of POTD. I like it all, but these lines greabbed me especially, and can sooo relate to them: I want memories hanging on the wall in celebration of all the holes I've crawled from

| Posted by Michelle Angelini on 08/17/06 at 12:48 AM Julie, congratulations on POTD! The metaphor used for changes is wonderful. Sometimes shutting down emotionally is what's needed for healing. It's a very sensual poem, since you've created something felt with almost all of them.

| Posted by Kimberly Bowen on 03/11/10 at 07:56 PM this is a powerful poem. I loved " want patchwork blankets
to warm my isolation
I want a velvet chair to
rub my imagination
I want memories
hanging on the wall
in celebration of all
the holes I've crawled from" it had such great flow and topic. As did the rest of the poem. that part is just my favorite. beautiful. |
