While my posts are often a bit rough around the edges, I feel like I'm starting to feel my way around to the edges of my ideas. I need to learn to take more risks and step closer to the precipice. maria.selkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12052847577940056985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915339669985059502.post-47386274914467844352013-03-31T10:51:02.870+11:002013-03-31T10:51:02.870+11:00Memories like ghosts float by

I love your control of rhythm and sound throughout: alliteration, sneaky rhyme and off-rhyme, repeated phrase beginnings for rhythm and emphasis -- all wonderfully accented with line breaks. This is to say nothing of the poem's message, which is profound in its clarity. A level of thought and language control that I aspire to attain!
