Your poetry never disappoints Shay! .....and I have never seen the Jim Carey movie you were telling me about, but I do agree...we all can have signs almost hitting us in the head, but we don't always see them, or truly listen.

Your poem, three sentences, I admire that too. Cool that you made a chained rhyme poem that so deeply resonates with your specific voice, and images that are purely Fireblossom.

Not sure I agree with the premise of the singer being reduced in any way, though--there is so much more that goes into the making of this song than just the bitter knowledge of the blues.hedgewitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13090696134322515899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3107838361391025851.post-33840834603009548862018-01-14T11:53:34.806-05:002018-01-14T11:53:34.806-05:00I especially love these two lines: "daughter ...I especially love these two lines: "daughter of both silence and <br />random lightning strike."Sioux Roslawskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17924021828536277618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3107838361391025851.post-40000101983489592132018-01-14T11:38:44.143-05:002018-01-14T11:38:44.143-05:00"...aboard a black-winged bird...."
