Your professor must have been a cynic. Glad you rebuffed him!
Lol, it was sort of a passive-aggressive rebuff!
LOVE LOVE LOVE that poem!
It was so much fun to write, Barbara! Thank you!!!!
Lovely poem Dheepa. I love the introduction and the title as much as I love your poem.
Thank you so much, Surabhi! I remember how much fun I had writing it!
So important to listen to the voice inside not the critics outside! Always love food examples. I can taste the poem!!
Yes, and it's definitely a journey! Lol, I love that you tasted the poem! If we can taste a page, why not a poem?
I love this one. Thank goodness I never had such a professor as the one you describe in the third stanza.
It was a shock--I never imagined approaching literature in such a way!
I can feel that!
“I knew my tongue could bridge
the chasm, and that time, I tasted
apples and light.” You walk us slowly, but ever so surely into poetry with this line. From there, it’s a free fall forward into your light. ✨
Allyson, thank you, thank you so much for listening to the poem! I am grateful and so very happy it resonated.
