Please share with me your thoughts on a poem I wrote yesterday. I know that the stances have no particular pattern like most poems do, but I didn't intend for them to. I wanted to be limitless and at this moment, I'm quite proud of what came about. :)

ReplyDeleteI count myself a transcendentalist, being from youth a disciple of Emerson and Thoreau and a lover of Walt Whitman. All three tried prodigiously to express the yearning of all of us to be one with the mystical Oversoul. It is an expression that requires poetry, but, alas, Emerson and Thoreau had no ear for poetry, leaving Whitman to play the lonely laureate to us soulful yearners. I pay you the highest compliment in comparing your inspired images to those of ol' Walt. They are quite lovely and deeply moving -- and striking in their originality. Thanks for affording me, and all your readers, such delight!
