Hopes for the blog:
offer up the wild intersectedness of lived experience and engage others in creative, expressive, perhaps irreverant, hopefully playful, and respectful encounters....
enact kindness
create moments of pause for disclosure, discovery, stillness

    Your poem sounds great when read aloud. Your page is special.

    The alliteration works nicely. The sand dancing is only for young lover, older ones are wiser and know that the grass is the place for a dance.

    I see an 'hour-glass' when reading such and I am liking how the sounds swirl around on my tongue.

    Nice! I would swap the words around in lines 9 & 10 to make it a complete palidrome - it still makes sense :D

    I think that Pisces is on to something... that might make for a cool effect... but either way, still a smashing poem! Thanks for playing along.

    Said out loud, this did sound very soothing indeed. Very clever indeed.

    Jon and Pisces-- this is sweet.... I had actually tried that very thing, doing a mirror ( reversal, kinda) as differentiated from " the same" and then I reverted to " the same".... thanks so much for this comment.... I will likely try another and so for a reversal...this one was fun to work on
    Madame, SarahA, Derliwall and PO-- yes, funny that, I was not even into the whole sound thing when I was working on this and then there it was :)
    Punch.... good one! nicely done
    WM--- thanks for the warm and fuzzy advice.... I will take that under advisement!
    Jimmy--- ;).... thanks for that... Much appreciated.

    I really like your palindrome, it is a real one. Do you know what a friend of mine brought me for my 33 birthday without knowing I was going to be 33? the movie palindromes from tod solondz, isn't it quite a coincidence?
    anyway, love to regain communication.
    Cheers
