Ut Oh!

Excellent Diamante Deborah>>James

Also appreciated highly the reincarnation observation, as you are among the smartest poets I know:) In your context, a tabula rasa refers to our natural condition before the need to incarnate ever happened in the first place. It refers to the state of mere Being, one I'm sure you know plenty about from all your meditations. In this state of purified glorious Love, there is nothing to written because there is nothing to be written on nor anything to write with. This is usually called 'Oneness'.

huh my first impression was a boogie boarder at the beach gets stung by a jelly fish...I guess one that would leave him lifeless, i heard a few of those exist off the coast of Japan, huge ones. Fun form to work with huh, it has this werid flow to it even though you just recite words and commas. Ruben wrote an awesome one that introduced me to it. Call me crazy (I do on a regular basis) but should the title be 'Uh Oh'? I don't think you'd miss that so I'm confuddled on the Ut. Nice one Deb -Yoni

A diamante verse has strict rules The purpose is to go from the subject at the top of the diamond to another totally different (and sometimes opposite) subject at the bottom. A seven line poem, shaped like a diamond Example Line 1: 1 NOUN-A Line 2: 2 ADJECTIVES-A Line 3: 3 GERUNDS-A (verb + -ing) Line 4: 2 NOUNS-A + 2 NOUNS-B Line 5: 3 GERUNDS-B (verb + -ing) Line 6: 2 ADJECTIVES-B Line 7: 1 NOUN-B a warm safe beach scene with a picnic to a boogie board in a storm.

I've read this over and over...what is dead? I don't get the content of the poem. It starts out as a description of a beach day...then I got lost.
