This is such a lovely all-encompassing love poem, at least in my eyes, taking in the world and bringing the thrust of it back to "in the same little eon". You often bring me new looks at poets. I don't know William Meredith. I still read a little French & also enjoyed seeing how close I was to translating.

I was reading some of your past blog ...Hi Tabitha,<br /><br />I was reading some of your past blog posts. I enjoyed Agnes Varda's quote. I like how she puts periods after single words, which to me makes more of an emphasis on the word, then when it in a sentence. I am also curious. I find real life, flowers, CATS, people, children, and nature interesting. Love her the truth in her last sentence "If you keep your eyes open and your mind open everything can be interesting." I enjoyed the poem about punctuation, and I think I've read it a long time ago. I love the thought of parenthesis being angel wings.<br /><br />On a previous post I enjoyed the artwork on wolves. I have always been fascinated with wolves and foxes. I enjoyed reading the tidbit about a genetic mutation in wolves becoming smaller before domestication. I have also read interesting articles and books on wolves. In an article, I remember reading those certain wolves, who were loners and didn't quite fit into a pack of wolves were some of the first wolves to live around humans. humans. I don't remember exactly how the words that the author used to describe these wolves' behavior, but it was like these wolves were less wild than the wolves in packs and over many years this eventually led to wolves who stayed close to humans, genetics becoming less wild and tamer, which I found fascinating. I wish I could remember where I read it.<br />.<br />I also want to thank you for your beautiful new year postcard. I love Elena's swirly dragon painting with the contrasting colors and those fiery eyes. I love the rhyme and historical words in your poem. I especially enjoy these lines "Stow words and memories that heal, Keep compassion on tap and pour a deep flagon... here be dragons." I'll raise my mug of green peppermint tea to that. Cute map, also. I hope you are still able to receive comments from an older post. :)Gail Aldoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07444221924693333224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-91636461349673530.post-80291784400372893312024-03-09T17:58:43.758-05:002024-03-09T17:58:43.758-05:00Happy Birthday!
