Juan2: Thank you for making me sound cleverer than I am! You can comment any time!
And Kenneth: Margaret Atwood - well, I never turn down a compliment... If I could have a little of her success, too. And write a book that comes close to Alias Grace or The Handmaid's Tale.
Janet - thanks for visiting. I hope your grandchildren bring you many years of sweet new discovery. |

| Beautiful. I'm discovering that all over again with grand-children. Well done. J |

| I admit my judgement may be muddled by sentiment for my own young child, but I enjoyed this a great deal. It seems like I'm always comparing to Margaret Atwood for some reason, but this poem DOES remind me a lot of the style she used in her poem "You Begin." |

Hey rosie, this is very well written. It conveys all the love and warmth of watching somebody grow - which could a parent figure watching a child (a feeling I must admit I know nothing of except in writings such as this) or perhaps seeing a peer rise towards greater expectations (I opted for the former on first reading). The diction is spot-on as each word is used with great effect, I like how it grows from a giant door, to the sky, and finally to the endless world found within words. Very well done.
happy writings. |

Sorry, Cheryl: bit of an in-joke, about an incoherent message Grae had sent me by email...
Thanks for the kind comment! |
