    to know you have created the time
    to sit and be with one of my poems

Pretty piece. A few errors noted: should be singular "itself" instead of "themselves" as it reflects the singular "turn", not "events". An other should read another. Lions should be possessive lion's foot. Pales if referring to buckets, should read pails.

    thank you for your very kind words
    and you generosity to sit and be with this poem

    if you happen to see the Tennessee poet laureate
    Maggie Vaughn , please give her a big hug & a hello from me
    she is a wonderful lady

The poem is suggestive rather than literal, it seems to me, and should be read accordingly, otherwise it becomes too obscure. There are beautiful images in it and it reads well. I think the unusual layout detracts from its appeal - I don't see any need for it and it is a distraction rather than an ornament.

    dear Rory

    i am truly grateful for you kindness
    to offer such detailed thoughts about the poem.

    and i appreciate your vision about the layout

    my process is that i hear the words and jot them down
    on paper
    then later at some time i type them out
    the spacing is often a reflection of the pauses
    and timing

    that could of course be cause for some readers
    to be visually interrupted

    many thankyuuus

      I understand well what you mean, the spaces being pauses
      or other events; I often write very much the same way, when the muse dicatates. I thought this was a particularly beautiful poem.
      I like non-literal.

        dear christopher

        i appreciate your insistence
        of the search for your own authenticity
        through the silence of listening
        and recording that which flows


        thank you for sitting and being with
        the poetic messages that flow through
        my awareness of consciousness

        i look forward to becoming more
        familiar with your pen

        miles of smiles
        silent lotus
