And I like your crystallization of the journey in this poem. I do hope that if there is any "dreaming" or "dancing"(which we ProgPoets don't seem to be able to avoid), that it will be crackly and raggedy and fickle and sizzly--anything but soft and graceful!

I just got up on this Saturday morning feeling excited to read what you've given to me, and I am still excited, but oh my, I also have a lump in my throat from your line. Thank you for sharing your thoughts about each line and the added bonus of helping this child to face the world. Perhaps this is becoming a modern-day "fable"? I guess you know what my Saturday will bring!Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20429083.post-45116707521098600832017-04-08T08:57:50.601-04:002017-04-08T08:57:50.601-04:00Fickle, freckled, and funky--the poem's really...Fickle, freckled, and funky--the poem's really starting to dance!Diane Mayrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09767689319000732296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20429083.post-49271896289015989612017-04-08T08:44:48.229-04:002017-04-08T08:44:48.229-04:00Such a fun filled line of f words that lead us for...Such a fun filled line of f words that lead us forward on this poetic journey.
