This is exactly why I write... it has nothing to do with the form.

I love your poetry and your passion speaks for itself. I have that very same picture on my desktop at work. We are kindred spirits. You are truly a solder and may God continue to guide your heart.
Many Blessings B.R.

Beautiful write, Autumn. The grieving process is the most difficult emotional hurdle there is. One has to endure it in order to understand what happens to your heart. I agree that hope is always there, and if we cling to it .....it won't fail us.

Yes, tree of life.
No one wants a dead tree.
Hope makes us unlike a tree.

Lively and lovely poetry!

Like it. The contradictions are wild and imaginative.
I know it's not great to correct other's works. But if it were me,
I believe it'd be much better to put the last parenthesis after cheek, (not a comma) -- put smile directly after that, period. Then,
trim your last line to possibly: "the essence of contradiction.!"
Moving upwards -- "Borealis," please.
Shakespeare (ends with an "e").
Start with a capital "I'm" in the first line. (I know what you're after, but the capital is still better.)
In the fourth stanza, drop the first "i'm."
It would thus seem clearer, crisper, and more concise.
Sorry, if I've offended you. I just see alot of potential there that is really close to the mark of being real poetry, and not just
personal rambling.
(And maybe... "tragic" clown...? That way it doesn't repeat/conflict with the previous "cosmically.")

Surprising to see the butterfly. My hubby's spirit came back to me as a beautiful black and blue with white dots butterfly. My hubby's nephew came back to his son Sam as a brown butterfly and sits on Sam's shoulder each spring. They are with us in spirit always and will never be forgotten. I know it hasn't seemed to get any easier for me since Aug 17 07 but I try to go on each day a little better.

He has crossed the path to a better place and has no pain or sorrow. Lives up there with the angels and is carrying on God's work since his was finished on God's earth. You surely did have a good time with him down here though.

Wisteria hanging down purple lavenderish in this photo. Reminds us God grows and grows in us does not sway, gives us strength, and keeps us here today too.

Was surprised to see photo. Used it myself in my poems too. Very thrilling write and photo. We need to find a port when it storms and your site can be that port.

Wise write!
unruly (Poetry) - 3/5/2008 5:21:31 PM
I can certainly identify with this from my younger days. I think I've pretty much whipped the unruly muscle into shape. :)
This was wonderful--thanks for sharing it.

I too lost my husband 7 months ago and know how you are doing and feeling. It is not fun but we are in a club which we don't wish to belong. Lois C.
You're Not All Gone (Poetry) - 1/29/2008 11:25:29 PM
I feel as if I know you, because of this poem.
You have put your heart and truth into your writing, and therefore, I feel less alone now than before I read "You're Not All Gone"
Thankyou for your willingness to share your deepest thoughts, Autumn.
(Hug)
In Christ.

I'm always captivated by anything to do with the sea.....it's what led me to read this, and I was surprised when I read on and found that it wasn't about nature......but about "human" nature. You are so right in your words...about what so many of us try to not see. Excellent!

Hi Autumn,
Just wanted to tell you what an incredible person you are and how much I enjoyed reading your poems. My sister lost her son to murder, then her husband cheated on her with her best friend and got the girl pregnant, then my sister tried to commit suicide several times. Then she got cancer and almost died. God has recently healed her and now she realizes just how precious life is and truly believes that she will see her son again. Anyway, just wanted to share that with you. God Bless you and keep writing these wonderful poems!
