Conservative was my favorite Mary Lee poem.

Carol's words, a"gorgeous word portrait," couldn't be more accurate. Keep writing your poems, Mary Lee. I always look forward to seeing an original on your blog.

I take my bow and leave the competition feeling much the same as I did last year: I'm (more than) a little relieved to be done with the stress, I am a (much) better writer, and I'm lucky (so very lucky) to be a part of this community of poets.<br />Mary Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09078793537148794310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20429083.post-81992723520554914452013-03-23T00:23:13.663-04:002013-03-23T00:23:13.663-04:00Your 'conservative' poem is beautiful.Your 'conservative' poem is beautiful.

It's hard to choose a heart-centered poem over a funny one, knowing that humor often carries the day. Your piece reminded me of the red tail hawks that glide over our neighborhood.

I really, really want to do something for Poetry Month. Great since I have not even posted a poem on Poetry Friday in about a month. Hmmm. Thanks again for the conservative poem. I also loved reading the story behind it this morning.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13294455230627182656noreply@blogger.com
