    nice!

    thank you, harun – have you ever tried the exercise? it is not as easy as it seemed to be when i started – though there is something wonderful about doing it.

    Yes! You said it right there in that comment .. it’s not easy, but it is wonderful once you get going!
    Damn good job on your version! I loved the imagery!

    red,
    it took a long time to really get it right – amazingly so. i loved the exercise though and i thank you for the inspiration, babycakes. ;)

    I am from under a rock
    least wise that is what I was told by my brothers when I was young

    must be a pretty special rock, then. :)

    This is an amazing poem – love the style and I think it DOES look challenging… everyone’s results are so unique.

    hello curiousc,
    it really is a great challenge – i encourage you to try it. very self-revealing. thanks for reading.

    Hi Sarah! This is wow!

    Lemme try:

    I am from the rose
    That chose to pluck out its torns
    Rather than hurt the soft palm
    That caresses its flowers.

    sherma, this is lovely. i would love to see you try the longer version. check the link for the format and give it a whirl. it’s wonderful not just because it produces a uniquely you poem, but because it really gives you a look at your life with new eyes.
    hugs
    sarah
