ah, the man behind the curtain and the birth of a poem
Thanks, Beth!
Gesh this is good. Stanza 3 in particular stands out for me. Love it Brad, truly.
Thank you so very much, Bree!
Congrats on another publishing at Spill Words! You got me thinking, literally, how not having a bowl – of any kind – would change my life. I’m glad you form ‘bowls’ because they do change my life!
Interesting perspective, sis. Love you bunches!
Love this whole piece, especially the notion of taking something like a dictionary or glob of clay and creating something that touches others.
On a less serious note, I had a flashback of an art class I had to take as part of my degree—talk about a duck out of water. I was in a pottery class with all of these art majors. I’m spinning my clay on the wheel, and it goes flinging halfway across the room and lands next to a cute girl’s foot. It was something right out of a romantic comedy, but instead, I had to walk over and say, “Excuse m, but I think my clay is under your foot. 🤣🤣🤣 Needless to say, I did not get the girl or an A.
Thank you, Pete. And thank you for sharing your wonderful story!
congrats on another poem at Spillwords!
Thank you, Jim!
You are spinning and spilling your words in all the right places.
Thank you, Geoff!
You know some of how your words land but you never know all their impact as they are merged with other words and passed around all over the place.
That may be the hardest part about being a writer. You never really know the reach of your words. Thank you, Geoff!
Congratulations! And a most beautiful, intriguing and powerful piece!
Thank you, my brother!
Bravo, beautiful Brad. Like one of the old masters might write. You certainly got a vote from me my friend right now. I love the comparison, truly beautiful. 🤗❤️🦋love Jonikins
Thanks, Jonikins! The analogy lent itself to some great visuals. Be well!
It was really beautiful Brad. ❤️🤗🦋love Jonikins
