Stream of consciousness: a cross between poetry and prose but exciting to do. You did a nice job sectioning it as you did to three parts. "Trapped In Paradise": You, Jimmy Buffet--and me. I especially liked that part and empathize. Kenny

Bless you Kenny! where is YOUR paradise??? :)Sharyn

Jax Beach, Fl.

aaah, but hopefully not "trapped"? I've only been to Florida once - LOVED the water and the beaches! But I didn't get a chance to explore the smaller parts of it, so I got the impression of a LOT of high rises etc there! But the water temperature is DEFINITELY my style!

Its definitly nice but I'm tired of it and moving back to Chicago.
-
wow! why? (if you don't mind my asking) - I miss some "city" things, that's for sure, including decent schools for my son and good theatre, more "cultural" activities etc - but I don't miss the noise and pollution.

I'm addicted to the grit and grime, I guess, and bored.
Comment from Carolyn 12
This was soooo cool. I loved the way your story began and ended taking one through three fazes of life. each one show cased a time and moved on to the next. It flowed so well and made it to where I went back and read it again. Thank you for sharing.

Comment from Giddy Nielsen-Sweep
I remember when I got to this point in my life, Sharyn, where I looked at life as a whole, as being a tiny part of the great living world. I found this in your poem... The looking back and the looking through a life, and coming to terms with what has been. You're almost wondering why your beginning was in Queensland out of the whole expanse of the Earth - I have done that too. Giddy,

Bless you Giddy - us Aussies must be a smart lot, I think, don't you? Sounds like our thought processes have a great deal in common, my dear!

Comment from bichonfrisegirl
This is a great write Sharyn! So very many vivid images created for the reader. Especially love the tropical images depicted ... "coconut fronds and songs of bamboo" :).
Loved the approach that you took .... beginning, middle and end. The photo entices the reader to want to read your piece, and your poem captures and holds reader attention.
Yes, all those "puzzline pieces" .... do we ever figure them out??

No Sharyn ... I sure haven't figured things out. It would appear that the older I get, the more I realize how very little I know. :)

Comment from gene roush
I love the ending.
You were speaking in the end. The story telling that came before it was pleasant and fun, but the end was really good.
We are the One -- all of us, everything.
Thanks for sharing.

I loved this poem. The imagery is palpable an the language is soft and elegant. I love how you chose vivi moments in time to depict each phase of life. So much to think about!

Comment from Aussie
G'day fellow Queenslander! Your story/poem brought back so many memories (mulberry stains on the washing) taking silkworms to school. Still surrounded by beautiful Jacaranda trees here. The muddy Brisbane river and our muddy Mary River, cappuccino coloured - flooded like Brisbane. I really enjoyed your picture puzzles of life as it was and the growing and showing of adulthood. Well done mate Avagoodweekend.

G'day Aussie!!! Lovely to hear from you! More flooding happening? Wow! I was back in Oz Nov before last in the wake of the huge Brisbane floods - also up in Mackay (also huge floods!) - incredible! Whereabouts do you live?
Bless you for your magic sixer on this one by the way - so much appreciated! Sounds like we do share some memories, hmm?

Live in Maryborough Fraser Coast - dreadful floods at Xmas. Second time the Mary River has entered the town - 200 homes and 50 businesses. Sun shining now, still cleaning up. Where are you?
