I was pulling peanut shells apart last night and the poem took me perfectly back to the moment, the scent of it :) <br /><br />Beautiful as always Hannah. Oh, and while I'm here you perhaps already have it, but for xmas, my mom bought me this truly beautiful book called "She Walks In Beauty, A Woman's Journey Through Poems" I am devouring each and every page, knowing many, finding new gems.... I think you will approve :)<br /><br />Merry Christmas my talented inspiring friend.<br />& Many happy warm thoughts...<br /><br />thea.<br />xxtheahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18091291710352799698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6171487865623213768.post-73600848736542976492011-12-26T15:11:16.176-05:002011-12-26T15:11:16.176-05:00Wonderful poem, Hannah, especially how you link th...Wonderful poem, Hannah, especially how you link that second stanza with the seventh to emphasize the value of "sort[ing] the years / by talking // to each other". <br /><br />The interesting thing, of course, is how the poem raises what we do with time and how time changes our perception of what happened when.<br /><br />You also create such a visual with "our skulled-up// versions of how / we've forked / over time". <br /><br />Great title, too.Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13290283101378474845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6171487865623213768.post-57573643152633479982011-12-26T11:38:05.732-05:002011-12-26T11:38:05.732-05:00Everything about this strikes me.
