| Posted by Mara Meade on 01/05/06 at 01:22 PM Congratulations on POTD! Well deserved. |
| Posted by Kathleen Wilson on 01/05/06 at 07:18 PM This is strong from beginning to end. No introduction needed...a fully developed, strong obsessive, dramatic chant, as if the dark earth's memory has filled the poet's pen. As in "The Tempest" Prospero says..."This thing of darkness,
I acknowlege mine."...

| Posted by Michelle Angelini on 01/06/06 at 07:22 AM Jill, congratulations on POTD! The words convey a hauntingly beautiful pain that includes frustration and desire to be heard and heeded.

| Posted by Charlie Morgan on 12/29/07 at 12:35 AM ...elizabethJill, how am i ever gonna quit loving you???, mylady this is a worthy account for the myst'ry's even deeper myst'ry, he? lao tso in 600 a.d. called 'the tao' or the way...what a delightful slide down while the demons are mad and perhaps chasing us...quite a heavy duty pome...peace, chaz |
| Posted by Laura Doom on 11/26/08 at 12:12 AM Bizarre! I can't believe I haven't been here before - gathering speed and depositing me in the great wrath of the collective poetic unconscious; cruel to the point of exaltation...third stanza threw me a bit (metrical infatuation) - I'm working on the rationale [everything 'jill' has a reason :] |
| Posted by Joan Serratelli on 03/18/09 at 03:21 PM This is wonderful- just simply wonderful! Point well made and taken. VERY worthy of POTD! |
| Posted by Philip F De Pinto on 03/25/10 at 04:03 PM miss jill, I would spill from a soul o'er brimming and here is hoping for one late arriving to this ode,
that there is as yet some soot left of that mystery to feed and sate my own quill. |
