Original Poem "The Bone Gatherer"

[967greywolf]

seen two coyotes this evening as i hunted for food...

[eilzed]

keep creating and expressing yourself... your poetry is beautiful. Most people can't even conceive of an open mind... they are stuck in a linear ping pong game.. Did you do the artwork in the back ground?

[AngeMlO]

Where is the real Miss PINKOLA ESTES???

[Poetivity]

@AngeMlO Don't know.

But Pinkonla Estes didn't write the legend...just used it for psycho analysis of the female experience.

[streetinspired]

@AngeMlO she writes for a Catholic oriented website, or at least she was last year. don't have the website name onhand right now. might be able to google it.

[ErinnE3]

very pretty~~~

[BigPrairieDude]

Beautiful legend. Well done..

[Iberianwildwolf]

women who run with the wolves?:)

[Poetivity]

Actually, the archetype is from an ancient legend...but I believe that book uses the legends to explain personality types....and also used the legend used here.

[Iberianwildwolf]

That's the one I have in my channel. I love it. Thanks for sharing.

[1imageofme]

rich images

enjoyed it much

ty

[dmio2]

nicely done. dig it!

[OsvaldoPaese]

O i love it. I love it when it's abstract. I look at it as a portrait of the world desperate for safety. But all the while from the view of one person as she is also looking for safety. It's like one those toys with the a small box in the big box.

Cool stuff.

[benzone50]

i like this poem-well written~peace, ben.

[mahalo111]

Excellent writing! Please stick with poetry and not slandering candidates you haven't bothered to try to understand.

[Poetivity]

It's a free country...and I have tried to understand him...I just happen to disagree with some of his agenda.

[mahalo111]

Great! let's keep it a free country as well. I just don't understand why you find it necessary to slander someone you don't agree with on every issue. You've got to at least admit that he stands by what he believes. I would think someone like yourself would find that important. If you are going to slander why not spend your time with 2 faced candidates that deserve it like Guliani and Clinton. You don't see me trashing Obama just because I'm free to do so.

[pongman]

Nice sorta reminds me of the one I wrote;

Forever is that time in space

Where love still lingers in its place

Looking for the ones that lost

Who's heart has gone from cold to frost

Gathering hearts that were left alone

Matching them with hearts that once have known

Of what it means to share their love

To be in that place in space above

[PaulBuffalo]

Consanguinity

In the chill of the gloaming

the mutant wriggled it's belly

from the brine to

primordial ooze

it's tail flagellating.

waiting for that first breath

without Sedna.

[TeamCannabis]

Ah! lovely poem, for me it symbolizes, creation and procreation! The woman, mother nature, perhaps a diety, feeling the pain of lost love or never having found love, great compassion, but still the creator of beauty and of life and it's imminent cycle, death and rejuevenation! We are one life, from primordial soup to humankind, connected!

[PaulBuffalo]

I have never tried primordial soup, is it any good?

[Poetivity]

it's a tad gamey..

[PaulBuffalo]

Yesss and I bet it smells like a tidepool, but I like that..that meat seems to be neither fish nor fowl though.

[PaulBuffalo]

"the woman finishes and a sapphire tear falls to the grass shattering into a thousand birds that take to the sky in song."K

I missed a sung word "Over there that ___"K

[Brazdolph]

very symbolic indeed..I didn´t get the meaning of any of it...very nice poem Kim,despite my lack of understanding it, I like it.Sorry if I seem shallow..

[Poetivity]

Some poems are like that.

[clayLavl]

good one.

[windcu]

very captivating...loved the way you can paint images so clear in my head :)

[LordTempist]

Agreed. Don't deny your strength. It is our weakness to deny our strengths.

[Poetivity]

Oh well, it will have to live here without that stanza.

[Poetivity]

Well, Thanks. (blushing anyway)

[Poetivity]

Oh Jeez. I just noticed I missed an entire Stanza.

[Poetivity]

Makes me feel a little shy and silly when you say that. I'm not really someone anyone can or should rightly admire.

[LordTempist]

Accept it. You shine.

[Poetivity]

Well, thank you.

[LordTempist]

Most welcome.

[Poetivity]

has anyone sent you sandwiches yet?

[Poetivity]

I'm not sure I'm mature. I'm not sure of anything about myself anymore.

[Poetivity]

absolutely

[LordTempist]

It has been an odd week for me. I have waited over 30 years to read a book and archetypal figures play a central part in it. Memories Dreams and Reflections by C.G. Jung. I found the book when I was a child, and I knew I was not ready for it. As a teen I tried to read it and knew I was still not ready. As a young man, I went deeper into the book, but turned away knowing I was not prepared. Now as an older man, I am almost finished.

[LordTempist]

The bones of this old book are almost fleshed out, and the spirit returns to it, to instruct me.

[Poetivity]

Nice Lord...thank you.

[DahliaK]

Your face is a poem. Many hugs and pats, my sister.

[Poetivity]

aww...that's so kind coming from a beautiful woman. Thank you!

[marquisdejolie]

Niiiice!

[Poetivity]

thank you.
