I keep thinking 'cross your heart' when I read this, just wanted to share that-

That is exactly my leap off point. My muse took that and cross (to) bear and did this with it. A lot of my little poems happen that way, my muse churning over words. ;) xomo!

Evoking a response, c'est l'art! N'est pas? (...) ;) I thought of trying to write out more for the contest but, nope, my muse wasn't having it, now it's telling me I told you so. Thank You for that Andrea! xomo

Hmmm....Do you know that God is love? And do you know that it was the Fathers heart that sent His Son? True love took the shame, the guilt, and all sins, and He nailed them to death on the cross -that He Himself carried and died upon. So, it's the heart that bears the weight of the cross.

Metaphors carry great weight, I engage them respectfully. They are part of the power of words which has drawn me to poetry. Thank you for engaging me Kim, bless you. xomo

He isn’t easy to love... but you love him and you think you are mad to do so?

This is the second time I've come back to this poem Maureen. I still see no one has posted a comment. I've pondered it since I read it, and I grasp it on a cerebral plain but don't know how to say anymore then what you said in this poem. I am in awe.

I find a poem of fewer words can benefit from the weight they each carry, be it metaphor, cliché or homonym etc, more than one idea or story, more room left for interpretation. At least I think so. Thus so. thank you so. xomo
