For All You Poets Out There

I never thought to stifle
an image thought an eye full;
I admire a winker thinker
who may compose a stinker
but still attempts to tinker
with words so wondrous
inciting thoughts so thunderous
inspiring poets under us,
it merits making a fuss.
--Judi Van Gorder

In response to "March 5, National Pasty Day"

I think some of the old dishes we learned from our grandmothers are on their way out because they take a little work. Also, the ethnicity of the prominent population plays a part. Here in California, Mexican and Asian foods are more prominent, unless you have connections to the old mining towns like Grass Valley, most people have never heard of pasties. I was raised on them but my husband thought pastry was only for sweet fruit pies so I rarely made them when he was alive.

In response to "March 5, National Pasty Day"

We eat pasties in Montana. The old mining town of Butte was known for them throughout the region.

I do remember a steak and stilton pasty from Eyam, England (2011).

In response to "Winter Garden "

Oh my goodness! How beautiful this one is. I love the idea of the white flowers blooming in mockery of the cold. Such a lovely, powerful, and regal image, expertly portrayed.

And that internal rhyme!

Stunning work.

In response to "Journal Entry Jan 8 - Discussion - Patterns"

This is lovely! I enjoyed the rhyme and the listing at the end and the way this read both as a poem and as a journal entry/note-to-self. (And I love how you wrote out the rules of your form so others can give it a try!)

Re: list item #2,

I'm speechless and honored that you see something worth emulating in my poetry, but I also hope you know that I'm in awe not only of your knowledge but also of your great skill with language and imagery in your work.

I think being creative like Tink is an amazing thing to aspire to, as well.
