Wow I love this, it is all imagery and feeling within a beautiful abstraction.

Well, I suppose another dimension to mud, and thank you Jules. Yet at root I think it is much what we do with out attention and intention, what result we learn to see. I always liked Wm. Stafford’s attitude that we’re all born able to see and speak, but most of us learn (or are cajoled to ignore) what is there by our nature inborn. That’s the generous attitude I think at least. To look at the world with wonder and appreciation is a great beginning. And then it’s just a matter of the “work” we’re willing to do, engage with the life granted us.

Someone said (a wisdom I think) we may be some born to a certain sense and sensitivity about our stance within this life, yet no stones writ that we cannot also adopt and embrace other ways to be if we just allow for possibility. Can a well dug ditch be poetic? I think so. (oh, there’s mud again! ). But all in all, thanks for an interesting thought, kindly said.

May poems abound in your life (appreciative reply!).

Thank you Pamela. Me too, wouldn’t know the difference, haiku or not. Really it was just the transition between the personal beginning and what I knew was coming, a more prose presentation focused on someone else. Just seat of the pants is all I mostly do. Does it work or not is all I ask myself. Though think this might improve with some editing.

None the less to say, thanks for your appreciation.

Mud against the wall…

I think I’ll stick this in here. I found it whilst doing a prompt (16) for Miz Q:
from: The Enchanted Island Prose by Washington Irving

“Nay though doubted by historians and philosophers, its (the islands) existence is fully attested by the poets, who, being an inspired race, and gifted with a kind of second sight, can see into the mysteries of nature, hidden from the eyes of ordinary mortals.”

May you long be inspired to tell your truths.

Really nice feel to this, Neil. I like the prose and the haikuish bit in between. Or is that haiku, honestly I wouldn’t know the difference. Nonetheless, the whole is really nice.

This prose poem warmed the cockles of my heart – and shows what a kind caring person you are. Your truth will never be alone.

Yes, dear man, but you may keep telling me .

Funny girl, but also sweet! Thank you Margo. Maybe we could say collage, the way life often seems from our point of view. Rooms have a top a bottom four walls, doors and windows too – so why shouldn’t poems too. (sounds like another of my goofy prompt ideas??)

And did I mention that I appreciate you much?!

I like this very much, Neil, especially the form. It works. The different forms within the whole make it seem like different sides of self putting in their two cents. Did I mention I really like this?!
