| Posted by Jeffrey Parren on 05/17/05 at 04:18 PM how about writing your feelings through someone else? another character? i like the feel of the poem, the questions that arise, the sound, the pictures...maybe i agree because the bathtub is a creative mecca for me...~JPP |

| Posted by Felicia Aguilar on 05/19/05 at 03:55 PM Wow, this is a very nice piece. I am always writing from someone else's perspective even though I tend to write in first person. It's always been challenging for me to see things from a different side, a different view. It's both a gift and a curse, because when reading my poetry, people automatically assume, that I am the one speaking. |
| Posted by Kyle Anne Kish on 05/20/05 at 05:06 PM Jeanna, I find the simplicity of your poem so profoundly true. Where do our words often come from? Who wrote them? Then again, there they are ... on the paper in front of us in our own handwriting. How exquisite. ~~ Kyle Anne |

| Posted by Genevieve Sturrock on 07/30/07 at 01:02 PM oohh! i do this when i write lyrics. i always go to the bathroom to 'hear' my songs. it doesn't sound like me and i can judge the rythym, rhyme, etc. with an unbiased ear. i hadn't thought about doing that with poetry. cool! |

| Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 07/30/07 at 02:22 PM Or as I sometimes have felt...suspected, channeling words from the "other side." Thought provoking piece Jeanna, and congrats on POTD. :o) |
| Posted by Shonda Chrissonberry on 07/30/07 at 04:06 PM Brilliant ~ I love this one Jeanna. Congrats on a much deserved POTD!!! :) |
| Posted by JD Clay on 07/30/07 at 04:17 PM After drying the eyes of this lonesome piece, I surmise, that the Someone Else in your poem is the undiscovered you languishing in the back of your buoyant mind!
Congratulations on becoming The Mysterious Poet Of The Day.

| Posted by Michelle Angelini on 07/31/07 at 05:06 AM Congratulations on POTD Jeanna. Many of my ideas for my poems come when I'm in the kitchen. Your succinct description of how your words are formed is delightful. I'll have to see if some of your words are bouncing off my walls the next time I go in my bathroom.
