| Posted by Charlie Morgan on 06/23/10 at 04:41 PM ...and i always wondered. now i know. such heaviness in a cute aphorism, delivered straight from widsom's lips. |
| Posted by Max Bouillet on 06/24/10 at 01:30 AM This is the wisdom of whispering dead things singing the cycle of life. Fall with me into the Earth's womb and fuse with spirits holding hands into the past like a life echo rippling backwards into creation. I love this poem. It is something to touch --something overwhelmingly real. It is highly inspirational. |
| Posted by Therese Elaine on 06/24/10 at 03:32 AM Max is right, this is something overwhelmingly real...be the fecund and fertile worm, and saturate the world with your own kind of possibility...amazing Linda, just amazing. |

| Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 06/24/10 at 06:56 PM Wow! National Geographic couldn't have done or said it better with their expensive cameras. A breathtaking poetic snapshot of the life of a worm. |
| Posted by Kristina Woodhill on 06/25/10 at 09:56 PM Loved the "glistening worm" and the "slick needle". Worms are amazing. Thanks for this. |

| Posted by Morgan D Hafele on 06/26/10 at 03:49 AM i know if i was a worm i would recite this every night before bed if not more. |
| Posted by Philip F De Pinto on 06/26/10 at 12:58 PM Linda. I do believe you're prayers have been answered as this ode is clearly witness, e'er spinning its slick needle in my mind. |
| Posted by Rowan Luis on 06/27/10 at 08:04 PM wow, i can almost taste this poem! im gonna add it to my favourites |
| Posted by Ken Harnisch on 07/02/10 at 02:09 AM This one has "wormed" its way into my psyche, Linda. And I'll never look "down" on a worm again.:) |
| Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 01/22/11 at 03:30 PM Hey Linda! Congradulations on POTD. Well deserved!! |
| Posted by A. Paige White on 01/22/11 at 04:32 PM Congrats on POTD! It fit in with my morning worm watch perfectly.
Just started collecting compost to go with pepper seeds and potato eyes blinking in the kitchen window for the spring I've not yet seen but of it I dream.... What a blessing you are to me today (again! your positive p.m. blinking in the midst of the fusion upon the general forum and many members intending to quit us)! |

| Posted by Rhiannon Jones on 01/23/11 at 02:43 AM Congrats, Linda, on POTD. I remember this line from when you first posted it: "let me be the glistening worm". I like the whole darned wormy thing. |
