A mixed experience, with hybrid sensations... inflating, floating, fluttering... dissolving. A different perception adopted.

A joy to read, Kate, so enlightened. Love it!

Excellent poem, Kate. You really do a great job at creating a weightless feeling with your words, a kind of spiraling, floating sensation. It felt as though I was drifting into a dream or an alpha state of meditation. Love it!
Take care,
Sherry

From the smoke of a burned our forest here comes falling an angel with ephemeral wings dissolving a flurry of rain drops like tears from the sky.

Kate, for me, the first word sets the tone for this entire poem. It feels light and dreamy. Very imaginative. Love and Hugs,

Metamorphosis laden with a delicate grip transcending personal coherence copping a buzz-hum in a fever of flight, the verbal equivalent of the state of mind. The poet's imagination is bathed in journey in the inner and outer reality of existence....you've grown a stinger, Kate!
Love,
Sage

Lost in the wonder of your words, in you - this is ethereal, hypnotic in its beauty - well done, Kate.
(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

Kate,
Feathery and weighty in one, the images evoke awareness beyond the usual; love "idea a throb in my throat" followed immediately by, "Swollen, I float mysterious"...
Great work.

I had strange thoughts when I first saw the title, but . . . This was an empirical delight, and by that I mean if we can write it, it is real and proven simply because the words has writ. Lovely cascade of thought no matter how short-lived your wings were at this particular time. Good.

You take a flight into fantasy in this delightful head tickler.

A lovely and captivating write (experience shared), Kate. Thank you. Love and best wishes,

Kate, as one who has occasionally taken many self centered aspects of my life way too serious, this reminds me of my insignificance -- your humor bites with a degree of stark truth -- as for what could be classified as heroes to emulate, I never found a mortal that filled the bill -- you have offered us the good stuff, moral conflicts, to mull around and ponder relative significances -- peace and love my dear friend --Jon Michael

I think the non-US folks are right. I think many Americans (of course not all) do not get irony and expect to be spoonfed the literal. Did I just say that out loud?
I agree with the others who've pointed out that:
"...mostly I lie in bed at night
and scribble my arguments
in hair on my pillow..."
is top notch writing!

A change of view, the world growing smaller until you focus on what's really important, the small thing beyond the big. Loved this.

Very Ironic. Bless You My Friend.
Passion Versus Adoration (Poetry) - 11/18/2009 3:56:05 PM
The irony is that 40 years ago I took myself seriously.
Today, thanks to the bloody likes of you, I smile a lot.
=gene.
