What kind of terrains would we have on our world if our thoughts were used to create them? Awesome piece. Wonderful possibilities to imagine. :)Ravenblackhttp://theotherdayplace.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930188128946500869.post-72228144619245408312012-06-22T18:37:43.582-04:002012-06-22T18:37:43.582-04:00This is cool in the way that it moves from what I ...This is cool in the way that it moves from what I would call abstraction to a more concrete, though epiphanous moment. The first stanzas are much like seeing an assemblage of shapes, colors, thoughts somehow projected onto a canvas. As these combine and order into recognizable form, the sense of epiphany begins tontake shape as well. Talknabout being immersed in the environment! I can see why one might lportray nature in this way, deconstructing it so speak, thereby getting beyond cliches and other notions that filter how we see the world.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08784125345525784337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930188128946500869.post-72702806418655140622012-06-22T17:48:51.116-04:002012-06-22T17:48:51.116-04:00great response tro the prompt... loving your '...great response tro the prompt... loving your 'midday moon' (I thought Americans used 'noon' rather than 'midday'?
