Arise

[Abigail]

I keep rereading it trying to pick which line is my favorite. I love them all.

[Angela Fischetti]

I agree! This one's a beauty! Thank you, Joseph!

[Lis]

What a beautiful way to start the day. Thank you, Joseph.

[Dave Mead]

Fabulous poem Joseph, thank you for sharing.

[Arthur Powers]

This is an excellent poem - well constructed. It's one of those rare poems that I think "I wish I could have written that one." Well done!

[lou J]

Thank you. Delightful. Makes me realize I need to transform a few recent experiences.

[Bonnie J. Toomey]

It isn’t pointless

But the point remains beyond us

True, and nice play on sound and rhythm.

[Rachael Denny]

Lovely...

[Robin]

You inspire me

[Tooly]

I opened up the email, read your poem aloud (without a word stumble), and it is beautiful! "All our senses swarmed by green contortions of waking earth." Get.Out.Of.Town....brilliant!

[Laura]

Mm these are beautiful connections.

[Blake Nelson]

American Poet Laureate level stuff.

[Callahan Gobble]

Gorgeous. I love how it unfurls to that stellar ending.

[Rebecca]

I really enjoy the sounds in this poem. Thank you!

[Alex Valentine]

You hit something existential here--great piece.

[Karen Harvey]

One I will come back to again. It’s lovely.

[Korie]

Exceptional!
