And whomever said you ...Tricia, you amaze.....phew! And whomever said you helped us to see how others can struggle with their poems was very helpful. I read the entire thread....I would be the guilt-ridden one in the group. Fearing my work not "right" and feeling terrible about being behind. But I think the group experience is also important to push us beyond where we are. I so admire the poetry sisters here skanny17https://www.blogger.com/profile/07488350213473016250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7320080607016581524.post-50794935943542584572020-05-30T17:00:48.294-04:002020-05-30T17:00:48.294-04:00Oh, Tricia...I loved seeing all these notes.

You are hereby absolved of anything, and I'm glad you shared this whole origin story! I especially love the lines that begin with "star dust" and "in times of live and loss."

I'm often interested in what makes us humans tick. Perhaps you needed a huge influx of stardust? Love what you've written, Tricia! Thanks for the challenge, not sure if I can do the summer but I hope it's still on for later?Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7320080607016581524.post-68417491780813874822020-05-29T14:12:45.289-04:002020-05-29T14:12:45.289-04:00OH, Tricia!

Crying because I had no idea you held guilt or worry or responsibility over this. Sister -- LET IT GO. If we can't be like a river -- constantly finding our own level and carving new paths -- what's the point? And by the way -- this poem? The result of all that?

We WILL pick this up again - at some point. And that's the beauty of poetry; it waits for us. (Also? Point me at a lai, a villanelle, or a sestina and I am NOT a machine.

I hope those who read it will recognize themselves--wherever they are as writers/poets---and know that the whole process is messy, messy, messy-- and there's nothing to be done but try and try again. That said, your sonnet is as far from messy as can be. It leads us forward, both with images and word choices and Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12225998457253574928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7320080607016581524.post-15811719441595412472020-05-29T11:08:07.127-04:002020-05-29T11:08:07.127-04:00I thought the sonnet was inspiring and beautifully... I thought the sonnet was inspiring and beautifully written. It's a good time to think about the universe at a time when we are sending rockets up to explore. I would definitely like to be part of the Poetry Sisters group. I know I would learn a lot and would do my best to contribute.
