Greetings Louise Wiggins is Elizabeth ![]() ![]() This is your account anniversary month and I'm here to celebrate it with Anniversary Review. Before I'll proceed with my review, let me say ![]() ![]() ![]() "Dust on a Golden Shovel" is a very alluring title. I was immediately drawn to read your piece after seeing this. The title alone already convey a very deep meaning and that was what I wanted to uncover. The things I particularly like are the following: Compelling concept: The poem tackles the profound topic of the soul, described as "the eye of God in us," a window into eternity. This instantly engages the reader with its spiritual and philosophical depth. Vivid imagery: The poem uses evocative language to describe the soul as "soft as slowly flowing water," "hard as its surface, transparent," and "slows light almost to visibility." These metaphors provide a tangible sense of the soul's elusive nature. Emotional resonance: The lines about risking the soul in love and despair, along with the repetition of "We live this," effectively convey the weight and importance of our choices and experiences. Thought-provoking ending: The poem leaves the reader pondering the ways we navigate life with our souls, whether "with closed eyes, or open/in darkness, undressed/or in mountain-wrapping fog." Overall, "Dust on a Golden Shovel" is a beautiful and thought-provoking poem that delves into the complexities of the human soul. Its vivid imagery, emotional resonance, and philosophical depth make it a compelling read. You've perfectly executed each line and I enjoyed sailing though each. Thank you for sharing this. Write on!
