What a beautiful poem this was. The connection to water, the allusion to it being your lifeblood, gives added weight to the reference to Virginia and Leonard.

This was perfect in introducing those who haven’t heard of Morisot, which I haven’t. I enjoy the poem being, both, an ode to the artist and an acceptance to an invitation to a place anyone would love to be. The details of color and texture and nature all made me want to go there. And the “Expect me shortly” was Dickinson-esque.

The tone of this one, and the humor made it a pleasure to read.

I liked “elbow from an oboe.” Did you mean to use regardless twice in a row? I was intrigued by the title, but, obviously, this is about some other entity.

I like the brevity of this line, and the no-nonsense “because i’m already gone.”

An ode to a journal. The meaning here is rich. I loved this line: “a stranger from my twenties with my handwriting has scrawled…” I envy your being able to revisit a journal from your younger years and find something so eloquent and brimming with a sense of gratitude.

The energy of ” splash dancing with a/shore welcoming” got a big “yes!” from me. Especially now, the AC feels like it’s sucking my life, not aiding it. To be in the elements without fear, but with joy, resonated here.

Thank you, afarmer. I was recalling a movie when I did this, so I hoped to recreate the sense of unknowing in its ending.

Thank you, shirl. I can’t say much about my intent because I may have been on auto-pilot at that particular hour. The last two seem a lead-in to what I didn’t continue, and I’m ambivalent about them, too. But I appreciate your reading of the poems lines to you.

Thank you, shirl. The best soundtracks seem to be from a much earlier time and place.

Thank you, Caitlin. Coffeehouses are my favorite place to be, and I’ve missed sitting in them for a few months.

Thank you, Caitlin. Very appreciated. I overlooked it in a way in the same way I overlook my own being, I guess. I’m gratified to hear I’m not actually alone in these thoughts.
