taureau20! Oh! I have missed you!! I miss your over-the-top wonderful 'smelly' poetry... How's that for a plunge into kitschy-ness?!It was Gabriela Mistral's birthday on April 7th... Thought about you! Printed out the astrology chart from astrodienst, then the article from wikipedia. Saw this quote:
quote:
Mistral may be most widely quoted in English for Su Nombre es Hoy (His Name is Today):"We are guilty of many errors and many faults, but our worst crime is abandoning the children, neglecting the fountain of life. Many of the things we need can wait. The child cannot. Right now is the time his bones are being formed, his blood is being made, and his senses are being developed. To him we cannot answer 'Tomorrow', his name is today."

I realize that she was heavily affected by the death of her nephew whom she considered to be as 'her own child'...
But with romantic liberty, may I also apply her words to the "children" we gestate and birth through the wombs and loins of our deepest creativity...? We squeeze and process life-- the history of our pains, our mischiefs, our wonders and wanderings-- through these writings that we (shyly or self-consciously) offer and share with each other here at LL --- poetry full of HEart, moods, and mysticisms...
The Mistral poem you posted, The Rose, tortures me (in a good way)! Her words and images perfectly pivot-- turn, invert, flip, and fall--, like that leaf in another poem you've posted in this forum... You have the crafting ability with words and images that she does, I think.
Welcome back, taureau20! I'm looking forward with happy anticipation to 'dissolve' your poetry into my senses, once again...
"More taureau20 please!!"...
