your world
how easily you fly
how easily you open
doors
in the night sky
of course
these are your trails
crossing this dark plain
and your hand brushing the trees
with moonlight
and your body
lifting me
like a waterfall
and your world
filled with nothing
that I would give everything
for

"how easily you" write such beautiful words my eyes enjoying "giving everything for"!!
Oh, Pat, you are so sweet--
Of course,
the "easiness" of writing is a lovely illusion
(as you well know)!
I haven't posted much here lately as I've been working madly to finish a full-length poetry manuscript (60 pages) for submission to several contests this spring--I think it's finally in shape for today's deadline!
And so many thanks to you, Pat, for being the first to push me to do it!
With Pat, I keep noticing how easily it appears to come - and the consistency, and how it's unified in terms of the love/nature theme. So doesn't surprise me you'd have at least one ms.
Another thing, maybe: sometimes local bookstores let people read their poems.
Vivian, that is excellent!! You will have no problem finding places to publish your work.
How easily the words flow for you!
Hugs!
Paul--"appears" is the key word here--my muse is making me work hard these days to get anything presentable out!
Thanks for the idea--I braved one poetry reading so far--it was scary but fun! Sometimes there are open mike readings--someday I'll do it again...
I truly appreciate your encouragement, as always!
Pat--I sure hope you are right! The suspense is intense...thanks for your support, couldn't do it without you!
Gautami--Oh, I really needed those hugs! And thanks for the compliment! Hugs and compliments back to you, too...your poems seem effortless quite often...
sweet firebird, i came here parched from a scorched-earth kind of day and i was well quaffed by your words. i've missed you and again am astounded by your gifted writing. thankyou thankyou! xxoo- snowsparkle
ss--Your comment made my day!
This is what makes it all worth it...!
I missed you too,
great to see you back--
sorry you're having so much stress...hope it gets better!
How I like to run around that last four lines noticing another new meaning each round I finish. Some very sad, some very happy, some, hm, well, I don't know what.
Maybe it's due to the foreign language, but I'd rather think it's due to your intentions. One very moving poem.
If you don't mind I'll try and translate it into german. You'd make me happy if you give your kind permission to do so.

Susanne--I would be very honored if you would translate any of my poems into German--it would mean a lot to me! You have made me very happy simply by saying that...
and I see what you mean about the last four lines--I believe you understand them well...
Thank you very much.
Here it is. I hope you like it.
Susanne
Susanne--Your german translation is absolutely beautiful!
I am so pleased, I cannot begin to tell you how much--
Thank you so much for doing this!
I'm lucky that you accept and like my translation. It was a pure pleasure to do.
Susanne
how easily your words take me to that place... where senses just 'know'
wishing you all the best with your manuscript!
Another lovely effort!
Firebird, best of luck to you with the manuscript! I trust you'll let us all know of any news.

Gracie--Great to see you here, and thanks for the wonderful comment! And thanks for all your encouragement...
mb--So glad you like it--
And I really appreciate your good wishes for the manuscript--
I probably won't hear anything for the reat of the summer--but you will be the first to know!
Hi! I am enjoying exploring your blog as I get time. Your poems and photography are so lovely! And the last line in this one is incredible -- "and your world filled with nothing/ that I would give everything for."
Clare--You make me so happy with your visit here! I am delighted to have you take the time to explore, and you are so kind to write such a lovely comment! Thanks so much...
