haha...so creatively done...love the old world look you gave it...and the alphabet play on the right...only missing the y and z right? some wonderful imagery as well...peaceful...the lovers walking...days like honey...like much gay..
Gay, this is so very beautiful. I have no idea how you manage to accomplish such a thing....but it needs to be a wall hanging and also to have a greater audience. Kudos!
Thank you - I spent a fair amount of time with the collage. I like doing things like that while I'm thinking. Appreciate your comment so much (as always!)
Absolutely a poem! Just incredibly well done. I read it back and forth and it was terrific and so beautiful. Thanks so much for taking the time to participate and to make something so beautiful as well You have your Christmas Card (and could possibly even go commercial! If you wanted, without feeling antithetical!!! Thanks. k.
You're so very kind. I appreciate all you do and after having gone through such a rough few weeks. I think you're very brave and would so love to get to know you in person. I admire you much!
very cool...can be read only left side, only right side, both together...and plays so well together gay..wow...can imagine that it was a lot of work to get this work...love it
"And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on, So that I come again to my father's house in peace; then shall the LORD be my God:" (Genesis, 28:20-21)
so creatively done...love this...and the message a simple one....when we let go of all our unnecessary focuses, all of our valueless characteristics... when we let go and just focus on living..then we can maybe, for once, actually achieving peace....so very well said
I love this, got so much from reading it. A prayer one moment, an incantation next, and at the end what it always was: a very fine piece of poetry with a job to do - which it did well. The beauty of it was matched by the lovely images.
then we will know Peace. this is gorgeous work, Gay. I'm sorry I missed it at the pub. Wonderful word work. "acceptance in the streets" stands out for me. The whole piece is thought and love inspiring.
Played around with this all afternoon. Not quite a poem - probably more a statement - but at least I addressed the notion and maybe that counts too.

ReplyDeleteI know Grace - we are all so much more alike than we are different..how do we end this need for tribal groups and alienation. So unnecessary.
