Eating Beauty
Gary Edward Geraci said:
We partake in the glorified body of our Lord; hence no cannibalism. It\'s an interesting objection that\'s been hurled at Catholics for centuries (upon centuries) - even some of Christ\'s own disciples left when this instruction was initially pronounced by our Lord. \"Transubstantiation\" would be another term of interest for those willing to learn more. God speed. Thanks Outback and Hood for your read and comments.

This was so descriptive it bordered on sensory overload...an intricate web some talented writing spider has woven. I enjoyed the read.

My Food Is You
Heather T said:
Confession...I had to look up the form as well as Anacreon, so brilliant on you for that, as well as the beautiful spin towards communion.
\"Author of love you\'re completely mine,
My food is you, both bread and wine.\"
Adore it.

Gary, it is not easy to write a poem following strict rules, but you succeeded admirably.
My wife is Chinese and I think for the Chinese love goes through the stomach, since cooking is an act of love.

Coupled with your comments this is a most moving poem. My own wife comes from Burma so I have a lot in common with you in encompassing new cultures although not the pursed lips as an expression of love which you describe here. A lovely write which I so much enjoyed reading.

I love this Buddhist-referencing poem, Gary, and agree whole-heartedly with the comment on unappreciated silence! To me, it is the most sacred of sounds. Well done!

Good Marks

I remember all those red marks. They were paralyzingly. Forgiveness has come hard for me.

Thanks for your read and comment Kindred Spirit. Yes, reverence to our Lord is an act of humility that I need to repeat every day to keep the enemy of pride at bay. Speaking of caps, I\'ve edited a couple of times already so to as place caps at the start of each line but in doing so I\'ve introduced some unintended spacing...

Chant
Gary Edward Geraci said:
Good that you and I have faith traditions to \"fall back\" into. How about all of those whom believe in nothing but what they can perceive with their owns senses? Where will they end up? What kind of poem do we see here 9 times out of 10? Depression, suicidal, love lost... for those with no faith ... they go to \"Rockland.\" Thank you my brother for your read (a commitment in itself - no doubt) and your comment.

Thanks CK for your read and comment. Heather T, in her comment above, presents a potential avenue for a follow up piece: the plight of the woman who found herself employed in such a degrading situation. Did she suffer ill health effects, did she get pregnant, did she have to undergo abortions, did she marry? There are definitely two sides to this story.

Those encounters take a little piece of us with them. Makes me wonder what became of her.
\"I washed and I washed and I washed
But never really got the stain out\"
I\'m sure this resonates with many. It resonates with me. Fine prose, sir.

Fine poem/prose, Gary. I love the exchange, \"You are my first\" ... \"There will be many more\". Well done!

Thank you M.! If the poem opens another to God\'s grace and the beginning of an understanding of His will for them then my poetry succeeds.
