Stone Angel

An angels hand I grasp I hold Taken breath away held rock solid still The angelic prayer is a silent ordeal Sculpture of my guardian confession

I like the tension here between cold strength and warm caregiving. One of the tips I believe I learned here about poetry writing is to always look twice whenever you use the word "the". If your message still works without it, then poetic flow invites you to dismiss it, or maybe replace with "this". That also came to mind here, especially where you use a minimalist style in which every wordchoice clearly counts for both beauty and truth. GD

I appreciate the time to give me some poetic insight and a tip about the word 'the'. I decided to go back and reread as well as make two small changes after reading this comment. Which I feel has made this short write that much better. I thank you for the constructive criticism and knowledge shared! :-)

This conjures a very solemn image for me ... melancholy but spiritually centered. Wonderful substance and an unusual flow, sans punctuation ... I like that. Nice - blessings! :-)

A photo prompt from @realisticpoetry on twitter. I shared this on my poetry.com page with the image. I really enjoyed this short write because of the statue pictured. I do not typically write in this way which is something I look forward to posting more of. Have a lovely evening Greg and thanks for enjoying my new work!
