What about this for the 3rd stanza:

Their life is motion, a frenziedDivine.[/quote]

This is great. One line stands out to me, \"Tyranny menus the girl with a smile\" mostly because I\'ve never seen \'menu\' used in this way. What does it mean?

I\'m not sure what happened with the formatting before, it\'s fixed now as it was intended to look. The last lines are my favorites, too.

I used a filter on Instagram for this one; it\'s very similar to the original - it just added more blue to the glass (refection of the sky that is reflected off my coffee table).

This is one of my favorite poems, but I cannot explain it, nor do I understand it. It came to me after I watched http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0258816/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_26\">The Reckoning. I think I need to rewatch the movie and see what kind of reaction I have to it now...-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------THE AWAKENING

a small baby\'s cry
a mother\'s lament
for her child will hidethe walking dead
a curse on his head
a mother\'s lament
for her child will diethe baby grew
his mother knew
an eminent ascent
for her child will lienow a grown man
forsake thy hand
an eminent ascent
for her child will fightbattles are won
but his life is done
deny all descent
for her child of mightleader of light
giver of sight
deny all descent
for her child of flighttake wing, young man
you must away
your splendor reserved for another day
your proud brow will aid you now
it is a gift from your father  

a lovely read

I really like this; really, really like this!First, it made me look up \"adjure\" and second, the emotions evoked by the words are powerful, and third, I really liked the shape of the poem.The only thing that slowed my roll was:

I wish I could explain myself,
though I can't no more.[/quote]I think it might be stronger if you kept the grammatical formality as the rest of the poem:

I wish I could explain myself,
but I can\'t anymore (or \"but I cannot anymore\" or \"but I just can\'t anymore\")[/quote]

Some of these remind me of the ending to Pride and Prejudice movie (the one with Kiera Knightly). Very well taken photos!

Which ones remind you or P&P?

Originally, the image I had was a single lily, but it was just cut-n-pasted onto a word doc and looked pretty shoddy. Over the summer, I came across this figurine at a friend\'s house and played with the angles. I\'m always reworking old poems, either with wording or images.I chose this image over another flower because I was struck by her expression and the \"Lady Liberty\" feel and support it lent my words. I had a lot of fun playing with the image, fading half of her out with extra lighting - is she disappearing or reemerging?

As I said before, I took a lot of sunset pictures when I was housesitting over the summer. Here\'s a collage I created of my favorites for a https://iwouldratherread.wordpress.com/2015/06/28/muse/\" rel=\"external nofollow\">Daily Photo Challenge through WordPress. There were several huge storms that raged through the area, a few sunset pics were taken just before they started.../monthly_2015_10/Sunset_Collage.jpg.2ce588c2a23e5242463457fb0ee57444.jpg\" class=\"ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image\">

I don\'t think I added a filter; the sunsets I caught really didn\'t need one. I could spend hours looking at sunsets and clouds. Thanks guys

Bashfully, yet determinedly he said \"What do
I need to do to get neutered, not spade?\"
