John Rhinem Date: 3/11/2009 7:29:00 AM ....yet we live within a world, which calls for a more serious and grounded few also....and Your ending verse seems to have painted You there!!!!~But, I do believe that there is much more to this write than just these things!!? Perhaps, a feeling of being let down or discouraged by another? Which in turn, I would sincerely hope not!? Yet if so, then I would most surely hope that they somehow see the error of their ways; in regards to "Your Priceless Heart!!!!"....cont....
John Rhinem Date: 3/11/2009 7:21:00 AM ....personally, this is where I have always liked to remain myself~upon the solid and unwavering foundations of strength and reality!!!!~For to float through the air so to speak, of child like innocence and dreams, is wonderful to a point....cont....
John Rhinem Date: 3/11/2009 7:17:00 AM Now this is a much more profound, somber yet hope-filled write~ A soul-searching bound with the strength and resolve of which You have attained through time!!!....Being able it seems, to differentiate the illusions, mirages and pretenses, from the realities of everyday and everything which daily surrounds Your life!? And to embrace the possible concrete facts, of which emerge from it all!?....cont....
colin mitchell williams Date: 3/10/2009 10:40:00 AM I have to agree with Robin, Christie... powerful writing.... in your own inimitable style as always..... great title... and something undertone... raw and even hard ... uncompromising.... till you are hit with the last two lines; and you realise, what you wished was beneath the surface.. is in fact on the surface........ great writing Christie
Robin L. Gass Date: 3/10/2009 9:01:00 AM This is a power piece, Christie, espcially those last three stanzas. So many excellent phrases, too many to list, that pop as I read this and your visuals are great. Wonderful poetry! Love, Robin
Raul Moreno Date: 3/9/2009 2:57:00 PM The finale is spectacular, this is a powerful write...Raul
Amy Swanson Date: 3/9/2009 11:55:00 AM Really awesome Christie, and I found those last two lines to be really powerful. Yes... there is a freedom in letting go of our mirages and embracing our concrete realities, I love how you penned this. :) Enjoy the sunshine my kindred friend! Love, your liony friend with the shell in her backpack. :)
Jason Johnson Date: 3/9/2009 10:28:00 AM I love the last two lines, I am still reflecting on this one. You always have great insight in your poetry..."by the hands that ripped your soul" powerful imagery. Thankfully souls can be mended : ) -Jason
sharon weimer Date: 3/9/2009 7:41:00 AM I especially love your ending lines, referring to a strong reality, rather than the myth of constant rainbows and sunshine. You stay strong, you are on the well lit path. Love, Shar
Carrie Richards Date: 3/9/2009 6:43:00 AM Wow, Christie....the painful and powerful words that pours out of this poem...from someone so young and beautiful, it makes my heart sad if ever you have felt so ripped apart as this speaks. To be in such a dark place...a true survivor one must be, to come back from the shadows into the light. You have a tremedous gift to write, and move the reader. ~ love, Carrie
Michael Jordan Date: 3/9/2009 6:34:00 AM Christie - I know these pains of which you write - A huge part of my recovery is the fact that my son and my youngest daughter will never know of these things because my wife and I have broken the cycle - They will never have to see the cold hard drug induced violent man that I once was - Christie this is a wonderful poem that touched me very deeply in fact I'm putting in my favorites list - YF4L, God Bless, MJ
Laurie Ginn Date: 3/9/2009 6:19:00 AM "Yet surviving with the indomitable will of a thousand iron strength and steel resolve" Such power in the write, tenacity of spirit. Great job Christie as always..loveudo, Laurie
christopher higgins Date: 3/9/2009 6:05:00 AM This poem for some reason really touches me deeply.. I can see a child in so much pain that can't understanding the world around them but finally coming to some realization..being able to move on never fully freeing themselves of the pain but gaining a better understaning of its source.. My interpretation is never the best but this is what came to me as I read.
