| Posted by Clara Mae Gregory on 01/03/10 at 07:39 PM This poem has layers of depth,deeper than my understanding can take me...yet the overall impact I get quite well and it is so well written,I could feel it all throughout like a shiver from a the chill of an Autumn's Eve.Beautiful writing, Kristina and it leaves me feeling a sadness. |

| Posted by Rhiannon Jones on 01/04/10 at 05:01 AM How we communicate through poetry...the open spaces in this let me remember a long-lost friend. And, nudged to turn again to google, I've finally found her contact information :-)
Really good writing. |
| Posted by Glenn Currier on 01/04/10 at 04:47 PM I was in this conversation. I visualized two women sharing, exchanging, feeling, sorting through what was said, trying to make sense of it. But one of the women happens to be a poet and the internal talk filtered though that reality, that identity, that way of seeing and thinking. Thanks for sharing, Kristina. |
| Posted by Elizabeth Jill on 01/05/10 at 02:40 AM I feel like I've just been there. This is surely another of your incredible masterpieces. There is little more precious than these connections, and you've described/poeted the sacredness of such in a manner I've never read before. I'm in love with this poem. |
| Posted by Alison McKenzie on 01/06/10 at 08:09 AM Wow. I don't who this relationship is with, but wow. The depth of this grips me!!! |
| Posted by Philip F De Pinto on 01/07/10 at 01:21 PM This poem is alive and introspective and splendid like a flower, as multi petaled and complex and an instant fave. |
| Posted by Therese Elaine on 01/07/10 at 08:32 PM Beautiful...the power of words, of communication, of sharing stories and continuing histories and making confessions...the beauty of two women, two lives, two sets of experiences, coming together, making a very earthy kind of magic. Just wonderful. |
| Posted by Rachel Bennett on 01/07/10 at 11:34 PM This is absolutely gorgeous. Thank you so much for sharing it! |
| Posted by Kimberly Bowen on 03/11/10 at 08:11 PM i knew from the first three lines I was going to love this poem. the short form works beautifully in the discussion of communication, words, language...and it's so funny how that works. great poetry! |

Exemplary PoTD |
| Posted by A. Paige White on 03/05/13 at 09:06 PM Congratulations on POTD. It's superb. I love how it's written. In one way it sounds like two women are together in a kitchen but in another way it sounds like you, the poet, sharing of your conversation had with her by phone as you're standing at your sink and watching wounds of past and present wash away as sharing heals you both. Beautiful, Kristina. |
