I truly believe that you mean every word…
There’s something soothing, honest and enlivening in the way you write Elke.
Thanks, Jim -

Greetings, Sappho (Elke) 🌿
It’s just Richard, dropping-in to say hello and partake of this eloquently laid Free Verse piece that has virtually soared my senses through the effulgent beauty of your poetic voice.
Your title caught my eye right-off, drawing me in to be greeted by your uniquely impacting art choice, leading down into the magical depths of words, lines, and fluently flowing lines that simply left me spellbound.
Within the musical timbre of your wondrous words dances the perfect spirit of an enthralling woman’s heart and soul … not the hallmark of a novice’s pen, but of one who’s lived ‘n done “that” to fullest measure, literally or through the magic of creative imagination … either way, I’m smitten!
Sappho’s “Ode to Aphrodite” is a Free Verse piece I read as a young lad, and your use of her name has mystified my manly maturity, let’s say.
Elke, I thank you ever-so warmly and gratefully for sharing You.
Namasté, Dear Poetess 🙏 ⁓ Richard🖌Psst!
(V2-L2, Marcyless = Merciless) 🤓

I like the metaphorical analogy of how life writes on you, and thus you write in transference – a poetic picture of every impact, a future reference for the ages. Deep as always, my dear.

Whoa, you’re geographics are mesmerizing! So unique. A little TS Eliot perhaps? Artistic. A prayer of creativity. Loved it.

Phenomenal. Really liked: “Shadows over my heart
Like shapes and sounds of moving trees in the breeze”

We are dreamers of dreams, and masters of our fates. People sometimes do what they say. They almost always do what they want. What do you really want? Make your dream your fate.
“Three hundred sixty degrees
Of
Three hundred sixty five days
Of
Poetic seas
of
Poetic ways
Where
I
Shall see: Days of
Grace”
Your word is your wand.
