Little Girl Lost, thank you! I feel very honoured by your words. Your poem and your haiku are very beautiful - it was my pleasure to read them. I'll read the others too. :-)

*THAT* is fantastic!

I love it! I've been to places in Mexico (and a few other spots) that this poem took me to in the very first few lines.

Excellently done!

The barren, austere feeling to these words is so real Vesper. A unique work, I enjoyed reading this. Great photo to accompany too.

Hugs, G

Thank you, Charles. :-)

Aniquez, so nothing-ness could bring something. I had that feeling when I wrote this. Thank you. :-)

Oh, Cat, thank you so much. :-)

Mark, you’re so kind. Thank you, as always, for your encouragement. May we all find perfect moments ahead of us. :-)

Bernard, I’m glad you liked it. Thank you. :-)

Hopefully, Jason… :-)

And I thank you, L.A., for your kind appreciation. :-)

Kaye, I see this blue flower as our eternal quest and eternal regret. I thank you humbly for your praise.

Karen, what can I say… I had to mention your name because I admire your poems so much and because it happened that you wrote these two at a time, for me, when their meaning resonated deep in my reality. Your praise means enormously to me. Thank you.

I have to say, Vesper, that you have created a beauty from your search. You certainly "have" it - even if your groundskeeper seems to think he can't compose the guide. Here are a few of the many, many lines that strike me. These are really gorgeouss language:

"no flash flood fingers
patter these deep canyons," and

"wary weary birds
take detours
over greener landscapes," and

"he's still rummaging
for his blue flower,
his forgotten forget-me-not,
somewhere among the rocks
of his life,"

You, my friend, can compose anything, and you prove it time and again.

But, yet, it is in the searching for our little bl...

But, yet, it is in the searching for our little blue flowers that we find all that life has to offer; and it is from those findings, meager as they may seem, that our compositions come.

This is one on my favorite renderings of your to date. Profound in its succinctness, rich in literary form and significance. Really, really good!

his forgotten forget-me-not

love the contrast of this line. Sad with a dash of crusty humor.

Thanks so much for sharing :)

Your blue flower stands out well in this bleak illustrative piece.

'the sky is a cobweb
in the corner of
a condemned room'. Nicely done.

It is hard to have had that one singular perfect moment early on in the journey. Harder still when trying to go back and find out what it was that made it so right a spot in time.

This piece is just wonderfully done Vesper...may your perfect moment always be ahead and may the ones that will allow you to recognize it be only slight in their imperfection.

Its amazing to see how wonderful poems so full of life could be crafted over 'nothingness'.

I love you almost poetry. :)

austere and lovely.
