Flip

Crofts of humble mute to grumble What prods a heart to seek succor? Fall to tumble mind a’jumble spayed fingers join to clasp in prayer. Flipped to sober fearless warrior What tools to fight off plights of fear? High to lower wise the warrior Gains strength and force in quiet’s calm. Thank you Karen O'Leary...I'll send you a picture of 'Flip', when I can get back into Illustrator.:) You're a gentle and kind lady, and very inspirational!!

Hope and fear lost in a beer awaiting invitation. Finally steered clear within the mirror avoiding imitation. Love when poems take me on a journey of my own words. Thanks. Peace. :) I know that kind of sounds egocentric. What I mean is this. Poetry that spins the readers mind is a good thing. :)

Your fine lines ignite my ecstasy, but pride makes me in whole fumble. The resultant rumble of these words beats the threshold as their impact are felt. Colliding with my heart BAM! the incident was more than a mere stumble as I accept the freshness of this poem while pride shatters in crumbles as it immediately stopped being a hindrance. Lovely poem Michelle, your pages are so homely.

Nicely done Michelle! I love the questions posed. Their answers definitely lead into introspection. Lovely!
