| Posted by Alex Smyth on 07/02/03 at 12:11 PM Very imaginative! I especially love poems with visuals like this one. I've seen the buttes, you capture their mystic wonderfully in this poem! |
| Posted by Philip F De Pinto on 07/05/03 at 11:18 PM this poem rolls like thunder its mastadon over our placid circumstances and which by some circumstance of magic you make fit inside our mirror. |
| Posted by Kate Demeree on 07/06/03 at 02:15 AM Reading this poem was like curling into a mothers arms, on a rainy night, when thunder and lightening have frightened you. Loved the feeling of comfort and warmth. Think this is my new Fav. by you. |
| Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 07/06/03 at 03:37 AM Although I'm not familiar with the term 'red butte,' I like how the Great Spirit radiates throughout this poem. |
| Posted by Vimal Rony on 07/06/03 at 06:14 AM I see the silhoutte of a woman in frock from the shape u have given to this poem and that is so creative and more wonderfully the words she is carved out of is so brilliantly outstanding and perfect. |

| Posted by JD Clay on 07/06/03 at 03:58 PM A graphic and historical account of our as yet unpaid debt to Gia. Your transformational verse depicts both legend and new age truth with strong resonance and is nothing short of genius.

| Posted by David R Spellman on 07/07/03 at 06:07 PM A beautiful tribute to the mother, children and spirit of our home, this earth. Loved the images and use of native american perspective. Having spent much time in many beautiful places such as Yosemite this certainly strikes a chord with me. Excellent! |

| Posted by Bruce W Niedt on 07/12/03 at 02:48 AM Excellent "concrete" piece, with effective earth-imagery throughout. Is there a butte called "Red Butte Woman", and does the poem represent its shape? Well-done in any case.... d:-) |

| Posted by Quentin S Clingerman on 07/26/03 at 02:49 PM This poem takes me to the West and Northwest especially I think. Sharp distinctive imagery. Philosophical as well. Congratulations on POTD! |
| Posted by Agnes Eva on 07/26/03 at 04:41 PM 'woman-scout of the Great Spirit'- i really like the sound of that and its implications |
| Posted by JD Clay on 07/27/03 at 06:09 AM Like the Red Butte Woman, you've reached the pinnacle with this very impressive Poem of the Day, Glenn.
Peace... |
