Talk about economy of language, so you work so much from so few! Lovely image.
Thanks Bill!
Bill said it for me. Well done.
Thanks Lee! I loved your poem today.
great in it’s time and place

in the middle of the night)
Sometimes, Jim 😏
love the quietness of the long first word, the framing “l” sounds, the gentle final monosyllables
Thanks for being so sensitive to these craft things, Gaby. Were you a professor of poetry? I wouldn’t be surprised.
This is gorgeous!
Thanks Lauren!
Sacred. I literally felt you doing this.
Thanks Linda! You know that little sister I wanted but never got? I got her in the end, and she lives on Hillsboro Avenue.
Beautiful image.
Thanks Carole!
I enjoyed the simple reverence of this poem.
Thanks Rebecca!
Yes, the sacred is here present.
Thanks Nancy!
Just lovely.
Thanks Ellen!
So much here in this tiny poem…
Love the two lights, the move from expansive (Flickering stars) to more intimate (votive candles) and intimate (lit for you)
Thanks Pam!
Lily Bramble and I just talked about the word “votive” last week. Next to the word “candles” is beautiful music.
Thanks River!
