When the forests are felled
By our swallowed words
Hungry ears will burn~

For an owl to say   who

The distilling/whittling process leaves us with the essence of your thoughts.

Saying so much with such few words is the sign of a true poet. I tend to be a bit on the verbose side, I can learn a lot from you. Hugs Rick.

Thank you so much Rick. I do get poked for not writing longer pieces, I try, then I whittle, and I whittle... ;), Hugs back! xomo

Every line in this poem is a poem in itself Maureen. Scary beauty. Thanks Maureen.

And you know me, I'm vegetarian; but length isn't everything. It truly is how you use your words. (This is in no way connected to penis size). In any written or spoken form of words "less truly us more"; so I best stop commenting because I'm started to feel emasculated lol.

Thank you Jeff. I hope it's potent enough for the sponsor, he tends to prefer longer, meatier pieces, but me, I'm into cold cuts ;), xomo!
