In This Place

Love to celebrate the power of the seed and the hope it brings even in destruction.

I loved how the weed, who is small, ugly, possibly disrespected, maybe shot sometimes with weed killer, is quietly so strong it can break stone! Don't underestimate the 'weed' There is a mystery in a seed. I love your reference to the seed. Only a seed is so powerful that it eventually moves the earth. Such a great metaphor. One I would read to a fifth-grade class and even a college class for a very interesting discussion. I hope you don't mind my comment. Loved it.

Thank you for commenting on my poem. In do turn I am paying respects to one of yours, but you have so many great poems. I will try to read more. This poem is perfect; worded and in a way the way it looks on the page. The weed in the beginning comes from the seed at the end; as if this poem grew from the ground up. Plus the single word line "Nestled" suggests the weed in some ways is hiding. But the best is that you wrote "man made world"; that's why Nature is a Woman; a Mother. Blessed be.

This had loads of POWER... I loved it. Makes me think of the mustard seed. So small, yet Faith... moves mountains...
