Ah, how lovely. In French it’s so much softer and more seductive than in English

The poem evokes a wisp of longing in me to find that special place I used to have when I first discovered my inner poet–nice reminder it’s still there; I just have to want to go inside.

Envy and delight make a strange combination. Should I
look for I look for my own longhouse? What a pleasant
refuge from the clutter around me. The poem evokes this
image so simply.

cold wind roars
around the longhouse
drawing my spirit
out the smokehole

I’m always amazed at how much some people can say
in so few words. This is one of those poems. The taking
control of the inevitable, the acceptance. beautiful.

I like how the mystery of the “feathered hat” brings this one to life. More of these?

Paroles–prevert, how little the title and suggestive picture on the cover have to do with the sensibilities and the sweetness of the poem. Just goes to show one can’t judge a book by its cover. But I confess the real joy of this one for me, was the comments. To know that Harry Mark Petrakis is still alive somewhere, even if he takes his clothes off slowly now!

A perfect image. And muscial. Thanks for this early morning meditation.
