No Longfellow am I

“No Longfellow

am i

to

categorize

this

feeling

sublime…

 

the lump

in my

throat

that beats

like

the hoofs

of a

thousand

steeds.”

There's a whole lotta horse power in this love. I can almost feel that lump. I've had one or two of those...
Beautiful poem.

[Kelly Scheppers]

...thank you, Ana...I know I've had a couple of those lumps myself! ; )

Longfellow's poems just go on forever, and ever...yours don't....this poem says it in so few words...i am glad you are no Longfellow...

you are one of the queens of brevity...and brevity is much more impactful, in my eye...

Some of Keats do, as well. I could never understand why they wrote such lengthy pieces back in those days. Thank you for the compliment, Jacob...much appreciated!

i'm such a fan of the Beats...and even though ferlinghetti and ginsberg got long at times...theirs to me is good long.

Some of our work is very similar. Short and to the point. But I very much like that and this is no different. Beautifully written.

I have a collection of quotes I've written over the years, and last night and most of today, I was typing them up and categorizing them. [...it gives me a sense of accomplishment. ] Thank you so much, Neal. So glad to have you here!
