I enjoyed a hand full of poems, An Indian Walks In Me is one of them. This is going to sound corny but it reminded me of Pocahontas, yes the disney movie. When grandmother willow tells Pocahontas to listen to the wind. In the song ‘the colors of hte wind’ She says “every rock every tree has a spirit, has a name”. In the poem the writer says, “ I hear her say ‘They speak.’”.
Being a mushy person, the love poems stuck with me. Patchwork was short but sweet, I firmly believe that love is more than saying you love someone. I feel showing someone you care with your actions makes them feel more loved than simply hearing three words.
I like the part in Marriage when the writer says “ Two peaks Alone... apart yet join at the heart”. I believe that to have a good relationship with someone you still have to be your own person, it is unhealthy to grow very attached to someone.
I really liked Mountain Chimney, Tumbled Down.
Test Cow related to Full Body Burden completely. The cow in the story is “hot”, this term was used many times in FBB.
I love this quote from Mother’s Advice While Bandaging My Stubbed Toe.
“So chose your path with wary eyes and do likewise with humans too. Be wary, but run on... Go barefoot and feel the joy and when pain comes, bind up your toe and go your way again.” I really like this quote because I try to live my life like this. I want to enjoy life as much as I can even when someone terrible happens, because tragedies are inevitable.
