Heart-achingly ...Tore the heart out of me, Glyn... <br />Heart-achingly beautiful poetry.<br /><br />Powerfully evocative images -- the combine to exhale. Oh my -- that is *precisely* the apt description.<br /><br />And rain that might turn to snow -- that is exact the mind of a farmer.<br /><br />Simply put...<br /><br />This is exquisite.<br /><br />I'd like a whole book of words like these, kind sir. Please.<br /><br /><br />Wide-eyed and breathless...<br />AnnAnn Voskamp @Holy Experiencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11742205499025104067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791261486111154318.post-75467714311537754382009-11-20T13:41:54.717-06:002009-11-20T13:41:54.717-06:00I like this:

It's strange how these things come out -- I started with the scene with the dough, and suddenly she's moving outside and it's him, then the child emerged, and then back to the dough. But I will say it was inspired by a blog I visit often -- Ann Voskamp's Holy Experience.<br /><br />Thanks again for the comments. One of the best parts of poetry is to see how words and images and ideas touch people.Glynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10802111972232088511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791261486111154318.post-18893316198716282822009-11-19T20:46:19.776-06:002009-11-19T20:46:19.776-06:00Very nice!

The apple pie: I can see it being made, smell it cooking, imagine the eating of it.<br /><br />Kneading the dough, working the fields: division of labor captured so well.<br /><br />The visual image of the farmer is very strong, as is the picture of hands mixing, kneading, rolling out the dough.<br /><br />Very nice indeed. I didn't want to find myself at the end.<br /><br />I'd like to suggest you submit this to Ted Kooser's American Life in Poetry. I have a link on my site.Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13290283101378474845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791261486111154318.post-40060635543225581292009-11-18T20:00:05.939-06:002009-11-18T20:00:05.939-06:00This truly was a delight to read Glynn.
