Words really matter. Blavatsky said 'the universe is never again the same for every word spoken!'. Reading and writing poems and poetry helps me concentrate on words, thoughts, feelings. My first son, Andrew, has Down's Syndrome and he allows me to see the world differently and that's a great source of inspiration - as are my sons Angus, Adam and wife Amelie...........words, poems, feelings ...........Love - of course!!!
I like this one even thought I don't like the feeling of falling at all. And ee cummings poetry is like floating, waving, landing. Will have to take your word for it that the two are so very alike.
Ooh! John. So good. BTW, have I mentioned that e.e. Cummings is my favorite? Thanks for the send-up. How do you feel about 10,0000 Maniacs' song that really uses the rhythm of the "beat" generation in it's song, "Hey, Jack Karouac"? Would love to hear your thoughts. http://www.lyricsdomain.com/27/10000_maniacs/hey_jack_kerouac.html (Lyrics, so you can understand what the heck Natalie Merchant is saying LOL!) and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJLyWomZNq8 (Youtube performance)
I'm feeling the impact of your words. Very good.

ReplyDeleteI could see the dust cloud - wonderful imagery and only using letters, those decipherable symbols that can mean so much, or nothing at all.
