A very poignantly reflective work here Carol. Yes I think our minds always flicker back to times when things were defferent, departed friends, romantic liaisons, times when sliding doors took us in another direction, we like to think we have a handle on our destinies, but if you'd told me where I'd be today, I would have laughed all those years ago. Well done, Carol, great wording and imagery.

Same for me, Roy, I never would have thought I'd be where I am today - not in a million years. Thank you, my friend,
Carol

Well done, even fanstory was unexpected. But I'm glad it came in this direction. (Never would have met all these cyber friends. Heh heh)

So true!! I've never had such good cyber friends before, aside from a few special folks I've "met" on Facebook :))

I get the impression you wrote this as you mused. Writing words as they came to you and didn't rewrite it much. That isn't a negative criticism. You're coming across as a very spiritual person and draw on that for your writing? I liked it.

I mentally wrote it, or started to, after I woke up from a dream where the reciting of poetry beneath open windows was happening. I did rewrite it some, but not that much. It's kind an experiment :))

Interesting poem. A little hard to understand, but that is what poetry is about. Good word flow makes it an easy read. It seems to be about flying free. That is what eagles do.

Yes, I know it is hard to understand...I was criticized on a recent one for my notes 'explaining it' lol. Maybe I should have said it's based on a dream, and I'm trying new techniques. THank you!

A very well-written free verse poem about the life of a poet, always busy with words and thoughts that float in our minds until we penned those words on paper and create a poem for others to look into your soul.

Comment from Lady Jane
Wow, the language, the passion, the progression from stanza to stanza, building up to the finale, just wow.
Yes, dear, you are a poet with skillful command of word and form. I found no errors. the imagery, the content, the cadence, so smooth and free, I am in awe. Well done. You've shed light on the world of writing and done so, flawlessly. My favorite lines:
We chanted scriptures of old fire
and never-forgotten longing;
of deep history; centuries-old blood,
and desires borne on wind. - yes, the souls of writing were set free. Overtime, as we read, review, write, we are letting go and allowing the words to float free, their souls rising to the surface, gaining voice. What a well written line, writer. I look forward to reading more of your work. Excellent free verse here.

Thank you so much, Janelle. I really appreciate your kind words, they are encouraging! the whole thing was based on a dream at first - lying below the windows reciting poetry :))
