Sara, these are both great.
Sarah, this one is really well done. Very beautiful and communicates the concept of creation from nothing to something, and the first line is just too true.
PS I have been traveling and got backlogged on my online communications over the last few days. I'll catch up.
I love the first line. The second one is true, with its lurch long bridge of hyphens but the state of the poem...is in the first line for me.
I like the fallout shelters in her mind.
Thought in sharp focus.
Waht a beautiful way of talking about poetry!
Beauts. I really enjoy the wallop these things pack. And I doubt that without it they'd be American sentences at all.
Hey Writerwoman, I'm starting to see the unseen, it looks like you've got the 'write' idea here!
I love the first one. Great image!
good work - I especially like the "fallout shelters in her mind" - I think I have some of those. :)
You did well with both!
interesting prompt. i need to check it out.
"Putting pen to page -this life- making beauty out of nothing at all.", I loved this one, Sara. You wrote down the thoughts in my heart.
the second one had me noddig - 'so true, so true'. The first is just stunning
I thought I left a comment here, Sara, about the first one being so vivid an image, and made me shudder..brrr
And the second one is just so true! And you do it superbly..:)
