Notes About The Poem

Premiere Contest WinnerHonoring the Anima

She rises above a pool of twilight blue, The water glimmering liquid crystal Fluid as an oiled navel which brightens her flesh, That inside pure eyes, mist radiates On her curve, and frost trickles heavily across Dampened lips …blending with manly scent. A gush shudders at the rhythm of her depth While the anima of his raw grace, such kindness Transforms her outline into a Borealis Laying on a nightglow of lace and hemp … Till male and woman become undefined, Aligned through his surrender to a feminine Seed , as the water continues bathing them In the discovery of astral glow… like so, The sweet vapor within her body rains ------ and his tears Fall upon her quivering pores, Honoring the fertile goddess within. …………………… Anima- “ Every man carries within him The eternal image of a woman.”—Carl Jung ---------------- Animus/ Anima –Part 1: Anima Contest Sponsored by Tom Quigley 5/8/2016

Its very interesting to me that the first verse is allegorical of an evening sky replete with the moon's overwhelming sensuality which segways into the second verse's intimate soaking between a man and woman. Your elegant language and sensual imagery are on par with the excellence we are accustomed to with your work Nette. "While the anima of his raw grace, such kindness transforms her outline into a Borealis..." a powerful illustration of the masculine and femine creating a superpower...J.A.B.
