fierce and infused with stony resoluteness. I've been there and your poem really works for me. Thank you for posting it. :-)
......to find such an accomplished new poet. The enjambment in verse 2 is very effective. These lines.....
"There is nothing
but the stark stony silence
of a land resisting definition, ownership."
...hiss with intesity. Very nice.
You pricked your lovely fingers
on my poisoned barbs, and
frightened,
you fled
you jumped
you ran away,
bounding
like a wounded,
hunted
doe.
(this for some reason won't template the same as you have written it)
This actually gave me a visual image of something jumping and bounding away.
final lines really smack home.
Thank you so much - who knew I could find an outlet for my poetry here. So many poems that were destined forever to be kept in a dark drawer - thanks for bringing them out into the light with your appreciation.
