Enga mellom fjella: where from across the meadow, poems sing from mountains and molehills.


Enga mellom Fjella




Sentinel

         Marked
                   as if you own me
I bow before the Bitterroots
and just like you
                   my rocky soil, my withered grass
                   lays prey to the empty sky.

Have the shackles been removed...

I've felt that way at various times in my life. When I went to college I was on my own for the first time. That was freeing for 3 semesters but... problems... then I went to Kansas and really bloomed. May have been the happiest time in my life. I was 20.

Now? I'm dog-paddling. Better than drowning.

I wonder what anchor needs to be pulled up.

Then again, an anchor means I'm not always meandering wondering where home is. Truth? I dunno. Am I like a snail or turtle carrying my home with me? Or am I a bat seeking out a cave.

I'd say I was a mole.

As for my writing, I do try (desperately) to venture outside of my comfort zone. My story-telling has improved. My poetry languishes. I need to vent as to why I don't think WDC is a very good site for poetry... in some other blog. Meanwhile my blogs beg for comments and interaction. Comments make me feel alive in a way that a thumbs-up doesn't.

As for publishing...

I responded to "Exciting Things Happening Here!Open in new Window. by Charity Marie - <3 Author Icon regarding her book sales. "The numbers are interesting because it shows how much of an investment is needed. Folks ask why I'm not "published" (I am); but they have no clue what's involved."
