It doesn make me want to read more of Loy and I do agree with Sandra, that this particular piece really opens up when you reread it.<br /><br />KatKat Mortensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877694888419628533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4821243838031243709.post-57164233383648195882009-06-27T20:09:38.974-07:002009-06-27T20:09:38.974-07:00Hi Sandra: Yes, there is a shift.

Most of the poem is descriptive(I love "innuendoes of your inverse dawn") - but the beginning is more like a prayer of adoration. I like it more with every reading.Sandra Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12052047359365369942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4821243838031243709.post-24470797296502997272009-06-27T17:11:40.621-07:002009-06-27T17:11:40.621-07:00Hi Reya:

...Wow, what a poem. Love the portrait of her, too.<br /><br />Do you read Val at <a href="http://monkeysontheroof.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Monkeys on the Roof</a>? She wrote about the moon today too. Really different kind of post, though.<br /><br />Hope your weekend is very fine, John.Reya Mellickerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13076092659507965666noreply@blogger.com
