Something is certainly wrong: Something is certainly wrong with society when a Great Bard risks condemnation if he immortalizes an alternative expression of love and dares to "state its Truth in verse". Some pearls, it seems, are too precious to cast before swine.
Your variety of settings and characters in this series seems inexhaustible. Very impressive!
Pristine and flawless, your: Pristine and flawless, your veneration of the very ground that holds the faithful, forever gathered in devotion, is pure inspiration, pure joy. Adding an eternal perspective to this verse took it to the next level. High-impact artistry.
I believe you will always: I believe you will always have a voice, radiant, exceptional and consoling, in the words you leave behind. As for now, may you be filled with peace and healing light.
catching up on all that I've: catching up on all that I've missed lately, life is a whirlwind, and I'm happy I caught this one, and the others that fill your page.
Life is good, and I hope yours, and the little plant that could, finally did.

This is a wonderful shape: This is a wonderful shape poem and brings poetically our story as it flows out of Calvary. Reminds me when we had to do 'More Than A Carpenter' by Josh McDowell so many years ago. Thanks for sharing, Karl. /Rik.

Thanks!: Hey, thanks for taking the time to comment on my poem! I've been browsing your works looking for a springboard into your work and mind.

I tried to reply directly in the poem but fot a message that I wasn't authorized. So, hope you get this reply. The reference to writing to someone long dead gave me an association to this text by the Indigo Girls who do the same thing to Virginia Wolf. I think you might like it. The only problem is that they write so fucking well that one is left to feel a little impoverished in comparison. Be well and vest of luck with your work.
Yes, the tempo of the storm: Yes, the tempo of the storm is counterpointed to the tone and sound of the speaking voice in the poem. The poem displays its verbal power successfully and dramatically.
From deceptively simple: From deceptively simple language, the poem creates a devestatingly poignant and philosophically compliex perspective.

This poem, like your other poems, meets and exceeds the Cunningham test.
