[NervousTickMotion]

very nice poem

[garymichael1950]

this has been my favorite poem for a very long time. Excellent job, my friend!

[annmarie985]

I really like this. It's a great poem, and I love the way you delivered it...the candle, the globe, very nice.

[eddusfledermaus]

aw, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[maninwhitedress]

and the passion burns and madness grows.

I adored the "calm passion" of this poem. I mean... that was what I ˜felt˜. :)

so great, how you read it. I am on the green lower left of the globe. lonely, not lonely. distant togetherness.

[eddusfledermaus]

I'm on the pink smudge near the top! I love globes and that we can all find ourselves on them!

I'm so glad you liked the piece, she's such a great poet. <3

[eddusfledermaus]

aw, thank you ons! <3

[SomebodyIusedtoknow]

lovely.

[eddusfledermaus]

thank you thank you!

Great poem! I feel this one too, just like TBG below :) "Am I lonely, well, of course.."

[eddusfledermaus]

isn't it wonderful? She's such a great poet!

i'm sort of in yaffle's camp...just never got the poetry bug. well, that's not entirely true. actually it's a complete lie. i've got a box upstairs full of poetry journals i kept in my early teens; they are hysterical and BAD. I ought to share some of the with you. some pf them are downright psychotic. yes...i think i'll have to share.

actually, come to think of it, i got one poem published....it was terrible and didn't deserve the publishing ;-)

<3 ewe

[SomebodyIusedtoknow]

yes please do share. i love psychotic poetry!

[eddusfledermaus]

please share! Or send me some and I'll read it dramatically for you!

It's funny, they never seem to publish the right ones. The few I've had published I thought were the weakest of the bunch I'd submitted, it's odd!

"of being the one awake

in a house wrapped in sleep"

love this bit.

[eddusfledermaus]

such a good line. I just love Adrienne Rich so much!

[nezoone]

now i have to watch the related videos....

damn it's easy to procrastinate!

i like yaffle. i mean...i'm like yaffle. i need to start reading some poetry.

[eddusfledermaus]

that related videos feature is so tempting, damn youtube!

I definitely recommend more Adrienne Rich if you want to read more poetry. <3

That is very nice. I like when the earth glows like that, with all the colorful countries, and I sit on my nice cool home, the sun and listen, in the dark, to this 'song' ~

[eddusfledermaus]

aww, thanks!

[yaffle]

I've never taken the time to get into poetry before, you are my gateway drug.

[eddusfledermaus]

hahah, awesome. Before you know it you'll be sipping espresso in Covent Garden's Poetry Cafe discussing Ezra Pound.

[eddusfledermaus]

discussing Ezra Pound WITH ME, I might add.

[TheBrokenGentleman]

Beautiful... I can relate to this...

[eddusfledermaus]

aww, I'm glad you liked it. Sorry you feel the same, I've been reading this poem over and over all week!
