  1. I liked the poem too! As someone also in the academia, I totally agree that having book smarts doesnt mean that you're the "best" or the "brightest." You got to be committed and passionate, for sure, and to a certain extent, a bit masochistic Cynicism also comes with the territory too. Hope you're feeling better about school nowadays.
  2. But this is what makes you special, ToV -- how in-tune with the world you are, how you give even the littlest thing meaning by your taking notice of them -- even though others may be too absorbed by the mundane to notice the beautiful minutiae that our world has to offer. Never change, girlie!
  3. Fatpot, I miss reading your poetry but I am glad that you are shining bright in a "better time" for you. I dont know if you check back once in a while but ... take care of yourself.
  4. FP, I know what I am saying is getting redundant but you're very talented. I feel very lucky to get a glimpse into your world via the words and images you graciously share with us. Thanks.
  5. Wonderful! I get the same sensation re: my mirror image; the unfamiliarity of the reflection is at times very disconcerting. During these moments where I sense a distance from myself, I wonder: is it possible to see myself as others do? Do I really know ME? Odd how sometimes I seem like a stranger to myself. Anyways, thanks for sharing!
  6. FP, This last one was exceptional, I thought. You have such a way with words: I esp. liked the images evoked by "sealed jar of joy" and the "dark shade of blue." Hope you're feeling better this week ...
  7. I love this last stanza. And I think you're giving back ... by sharing your thoughts and lovely poetry with us.
  8. The last line was very impactful... Thanks for sharing, Mel.
  9. DS, This is the second poem that I've read of yours and I loved both! I look forward to reading more of your work ...
  10. I agree with Ghostgirl; it's a heartbreaking but a beautiful poem...
  11. Bough, I agree. Sometimes, language does fall short of fully capturing the essense of what our eyes see. Your words however opened the window onto these beautiful images in my head and I thank you for that.
  12. Hey FP, Hope all is well with you. I like the ones you recently shared with us but this one's my fav. Maybe bc it reminds me of a song that I really like: "Spark" by The Bird and the Bee. Thank you.
  13. ^ Love your latest. Esp. the line about "prancing about on [your] mind's little moon" was brilliant, I thought. I'm holding onto that image; hope you do too.
