> That is beautiful. Wow, Happyflower, I'm so happy for you. And I've never understood poetry but this time, I think a miracle happened as I was reading, because I suddeny began to get pictures and feelings, and I absolutely understood what was happening, for the first time, I guess I just really opened up to inner knowing, relaxed into your verse, and it is so magical .. thank you for sharing it here. Where can I buy this???
Okay, you better stop, it is giving me a huge ego! lol But that is what poetry does, it makes you feel and from what I am learning, you don't even need to understand it either.
I see that in what you write, I am surprised you said you don't get poetry... seems like you do, you sure write it well enough.
It is funny on my Shipshewana poem, my prof. asked me What happened ? lol He told me I reached through to another level. Cool I thought. You really can't buy my poem, it is just in a college newspaper, small beans you know. I think it is coming out this week.
I am still learning my way through this, I am not sure what I am doing exactly all the time but it is inside of me and some how it come out on paper.
I think sometimes poems are so abstract it is hard to get anything from it, so I try to write what makes some sense to at least me. You have motivated me to keep going, thanks so much! I am quite the non confident poet. lol
