Parched Lips
Michael Edwards said:
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...

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!

Ballade of Phineas P. Gage

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.

Ballade of Phineas P. Gage
Gary Edward Geraci said:
Thank you Fay for the read and comments. I read about the ballade style in a poetry glossary and then read one by Joyce Kilmer, purely by providence, here in mypoeticside, all in the same day. When the chips fall like that you\'ve got to take it as a sign that Someone wants you to write a ballade. Thanks again!

A first rate and compelling ballad with archaic linguistics that really beguile. Bravo and thank you for sharing this Gary.

I am grateful for your \'in depth\' analysis of my poem Pintu. I promise to make my \"Humility Prayer\" many times today so as to counter act the human nature towards pride. Thank you my brother.

Pintu Mahakul said:
Paul\'s fresh faith is endearing with arrival of Jesus. Living or dead exists with a union and that believers declare very often. Those on pilgrimage, they feel the chain of love of merciful journey. Angels declare about God\'s kingdom is very nice. This is truly revealed. A very nice poem is excellently composed and shared here with Biblical perception. May God bring happiness for you. Amen!
