BRIAN & ANGELA said:

tHANKS fay Thanks FAY ~ love the form of this Poem and the SEVEN one line epithets and piquancy to the triplets. Taken together thy form a very enigmatic ODE !

SEIZE NOW !
Which turn on the many
Either for or against
And let love have its head
If real fees unsteady
Over falsehood\'s regret
So naught left to repent
From none other than Heaven.

Thanks for Sharing another Gem ~ Yours as ever ~ BRIAN

You allowed me to recall the morning i was out looking for mushrooms and at some distance watched a fox eyeing me warily.... he/she trotted off into nearby woodland (a spinney we called it in nottinghamshire) leaving me to sit on a log in drizzling rain, my minds eye following the fox (now \'her\' in my minds eye) back to her den and cubs. Lovely poem Fay.

Congratulations on tapping into the \'oneness\' of all living things, Fay, and the consciousness of all things in the material world.

Fay, what a delightful reading. It is so beautiful the way you reveal the innocent enlightened child that lives inside you. I\'m in awe with so much beauty. Thanks

Wonderful poem Fay! I agree with Fred in that it\'s a very insightful poem on a subject that not too many of us think about. Great job!

\"Or would you rather be a CAT ?\"

I know we don\'t believe in reincarnation as Animals FAY but I love the basic philosophy in your POEM ~ that we should (and could ?) have more empathy with the whole of the Animal & Plant Kingdom ! As a child we always had lots of CATS and was I curled up with POLLY or was she curled up with me ? We do pamper Cats because they are so so independent & regal. If I could come back as an animal I would be a Tabby Cat in a loving home and a Family with just GIRLS ~ PARDISE ! Thanks for caring & sharing ~ Yours as always BRIAN Purrrrrrrrr !

Quite often I\'ve contemplated the thoughts of animals for what they could be thinking. Your compelling words and photograph show trust between two life forms willing to accept one another. I love this and thank you Fay. ; )

A fine write Fay. I can\'t bear any animal experiments, not even mice. They are not really timid, nor insignificant because they are small. We had some as pets. They are feisty, may give you a nip if you tease them etc. Not really \'wee timorous beasties\'. Well, they are small though.

I think the later love found in life is deeper than the love that life choose for us. Later love is rather chosen by us. We can decide to be alone but we choose to love and romance again.

Beautifully written, Fay, and as far as I read it, a great metaphor of us reaching out but not quite reaching it.

A fine write Fay. I tried joining a fish without any air tank for 24 hours. It didn\'t work out for me somehow. Hmm. Strange that! lol.

dusk arising said:

WOW Fay that is tremendous! Held me breathless as i read it thru (cept i had to drag in air tbh) on edge of my chair because it was a thriller! I think it was your use of \'and more than that\' created a pace, a tension. I love it and it goes straight to my favourites. Thank you.
