| Posted by Ashok Sharda on 08/10/06 at 05:14 PM Pen may be simple but not the action that it performs, linking all our centers, producing idea's in any creative form. This is a beautiful depiction of your muse,drawn by your simple pen . |

| Posted by Leslie Ann Eisenberg on 08/14/06 at 04:39 AM i simply adore poems about the craft of writing, and this one is outstanding. often, the muse/creative source is the subject, but here, the meat, the guts of verse are mandolined with perfection. my favorite -- She dined on feasts of poetry
an entree of macaronic verse
ambrosia mixed phonectically
with a poetasters dirge....great read! :) PK |
