Glad to read this – glad to hear things are looking up for you! I look forward to more on Oddball. Thanks for all you do.

I meant to tell you that I very much liked your poem. It is one of my favorites. What I like most about your wrting/poetry is that you are so accessable,and in being so you are brave.

I also want all of you who are back on board that I sent the poem in old form with quotations. I have taken them out. That I am responding to beauty and I am not separate from it.
Every single day I must take notice to one beautiful thing a day, and walk in that reason.

Point of view

Beauty advises me
to change my point of view
from sad memories
murky haze

put on that cotton dress
and flowered scarf
as a leaf frames a rose
after thorns.

follow the trees
as they compose
in syncopated rows
where light filters through
dancing on my skin
.
walk slowly to the shore line
at sunset
to my violet amber kiss
before the cerulean sky
that lulls me into night
to a dream

Not sure why
Kindest Regards,
was in the middle of the poem,
I am sure you all figured that out-sorry for another edit

I’ve been thinking of you, but I sensed where you were at. I knew you would be in touch once you moved and dusted. Good to hear your new point of view. Here is a short (poem?) I wrote about mine.
