now this is really beautiful. you have a delicious way with words.
thank you for your comment. i’m so glad you enjoyed it, i will include that poem as my second entry for the anthology. speaking of which, i’m working on the cover right now. was there any text or anything necessary to have on the cover? i’ll bring both a hard copy and a flash drive of it in case we need to make changes to it tomorrow.

you’re welcome, Maria Christina! I think we start these blogs in a moment of optimism…the stats for how many blogs are inactive after 6 months is significant. I have 2 other blogs, too –the write alley and art city ventura–and it does keep me busy!

I enjoyed the intimate, erotic relationship between climber and rock. Interesting the later specualtion about what impression the narrator’s soft form left on the boulders. Strong middle section too, with all the great words describing rock.

Thanks for visiting my yoga blog. I’ve been so busy teaching yoga lately, that I haven’t had time to post in a while. One blog is enough, especially keeping up with all the contributions to RWP and other prompts. We can’t do it all, right?

I think of this poem in the context of Sierra granite faces so I like thinking of it as resonating with you too, Julia, and your shoreline granite!

I live near a granite-bedrock shoreline, so your poem really resonated with me. Especially these lines:

‘explosive hot magma breath crystallizing
country rock scraped away by glaciers
rough epidermous polished to glistening
freckles of lichen splashing gold, green’
