I hope this is your first of many it is poignantly beautiful. The repetition seems echoey and fits with the notion vast space.

And yes Laura, I see the face. Your poem reminded me of the movie about St. Francis--Brother sun Sister Moon. I saw the thread in today's poems as a yearning for harmony and connection (?)--and I admired the contribution of each poet.

We hear things differently on so many levels! Today's favorite, for me, was Mike Ratcliffe's. Loved hearing the background research and thought process involved too.Michelle Heidenrich Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02051827857519159837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8303906221917588052.post-3562701876685993952015-02-19T12:28:21.609-05:002015-02-19T12:28:21.609-05:00Wonderful poems!

And, I love Michelle's pantoum. <br /><br />Laura, I'll a bit more about process. In my reading about Pythagoras, I also learned that it was believed that each of the seven heavens sang one of the seven sacred vowels: the first sang alpha, the second epsilon, then (h)eta, iota, omicron, upsilon, to the seventh singing omega. All of these blended into harmonious praise for the creator. I incorporated this into my poem. There are seven lines, each starting with one of the sacred vowels, alpha to omega.Michael Ratcliffehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02469869423353363535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8303906221917588052.post-87725482200028773272015-02-19T12:27:03.366-05:002015-02-19T12:27:03.366-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Michael Ratcliffehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02469869423353363535noreply@blogger.com
