His voice may crack
but at least it's
not scrambled.
I like this very much. And that ending!
If you never wrote another one, this would be the crown jewel. My oh my girl.
yes it is the words cracking that is so difficult
and how our lives crack at times ...
Yup yup. Heather Truett and Madame Rubies are one and the same. :)
I love this, especially the use of the word "cracked."
Absolutely delighted that you stopped by.
I'm also a longterm admirer of Annie Dillard. I've read The Writing Life and loved it. (Couldn't help sneaking over to your side bar to read a couple of favorite posts.)
I'd like to write like Annie, too.
:-)
This is a delightfully surprising one! You are so clever and amazingly creative.
Have a blessed Easter!
This is perfect. :)
I love, love, love this poem! And I'll stop there since I think the point is not to over-analyze. :-)
Here's my RAP for the week: http://evenifiambeingpoured.blogspot.com/2010/04/sycamore-snow.html

I was surprised at your last line - you made me re-read. I love it!
Here is my RAP:
"Rebirth (or, the beauty in the perpetuation of weeds)
I hope you have a good Easter. Thanks for your note in my comment box last night. I very much appreciated your understanding...
You crack me up.... in a really, really good way!
Brilliant.

Very much feeling my "thin shell" today.
Thanks for the prompt. You're always a source of inspiration. Thank you.

Oh you do have a way... :-) Easter blessings to you!
Oh, I dunno if you meant for this.. but, I laughed at the end of the poem.
You're always surprising me with your knitting of words. I like... :)
Popped in to say, "Happy Easter!", Laura!

Love the how to write a poem!

L L Barkat reminds me
Of the value of writing poetry.
I used to write poetry.
Haven’t done much lately.
Why?
No time to fly!
So busy getting dinner,
Trying to keep my diet thinner,
Dishing out some history,
Seeking more of life’s mystery.
But perhaps for me,
Living the life I CAN-MUST DO-BE
Has the same value as writing poetry.

I don't know if this is what you were looking for.
But I do know your gentle encouragement was appreciated the last time.
At last I have it! :)
