Posted by Ava Blu on 06/15/05 at 08:48 AM I am almost speechless. I've read a lot of good poetry, but this outshines it all. "blender-worthy thoughts"---I think that is the best line I've ever read. This will be clicked to fav list. Wow, I just have to say again how great this is. |
Posted by Ava Blu on 06/15/05 at 08:51 AM Sorry for commenting twice, but I just have to add that this is my pick for potd. I can't believe it's never been on. I'm so glad I stayed up this late, otherwise I'd never gotten a chance to read this. |
Posted by Michelle Angelini on 06/24/05 at 06:26 AM Philippa - your poem has a terrible beauty in all the images presented. They aren't pretty, but then all mixed in the "blender" of the past, the memories soon become indistiguishable. Like Karen Michelle commented - each image is fully sensory. Congratulations on POTD!
