the edges of myself

words, words, words

my heart cannot be

tempered; though many other

parts of me endure.

    What I love about your haikus is that I can read them over and over and they never become old. I think I read this one 20 times now and still love it. 🙂

      what i love about your comments– is they make me feel all glowy and understood. (i know glowy’s not a word– but i really like it– and sometimes as a poet you get to take liberties, right? particularly when talking to another poet.) thank you for your amazing comment, as always.

        That’s one of the things I love about writing…taking liberties. I think the heart of a poet is sometimes best understood by another poet. 🙂
