But I'm glad I said that because it brought forth the poem. You never cease to awe me. This is a lovely companion to your entry about the transitory nature of bloggy friends. <br>I'm going to write too much of an intellectual response to an emotional piece, but here goes. It started me thinking about expository vs narrative, art vs commentary, novel vs cliff's notes, symphony vs program notes and so on, and how some of us like to have explanation, meaning, for the more ethereal forms of expression, to be told explicitly by the creator what was in mind, or at least what some learned soul thinks is the theme it speaks to. Not that that's bad--our brains are meaning, pattern-seeking organisms. But anyway, so I challenged myself to reread several times and let my mind form a few other personal themes and responses. Now that's pure poetry. Thank you.<br>*debbi*Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
