~ just back from a week long retreat of silence, contemplative dance and writing, on wild land, full of such things
that brings singing.

The Summer Day

Who made the world?
Who made the swan, and the black bear?
Who made the grasshopper?
This grasshopper, I mean--
the one who has flung herself out of the grass,
the one who is eating sugar out of my hand,
who is moving her jaws back and forth instead of up and down--
who is gazing around with her enormous and complicated eyes.
Now she lifts her pale forearms and thoroughly washes her face.
Now she snaps her wings open, and floats away.
I don't know exactly what a prayer is.
I do know how to pay attention, how to fall down
into the grass, how to kneel in the grass,
how to be idle and blessed, how to stroll through the fields,
which is what I have been doing all day.
Tell me, what else should I have done?
Doesn't everything die at last, and too soon?
Tell me, what is is you plan to do
With your one wild and precious life?

Mary Oliver

I so love that poem up there, it holds a truth that slaps me in the face.

I've been a prostitute with my poetry/prose, but I don't feel shame for that. It's all part of the process

Suzanne Dia : Dear Jessie - sung by Madonna on March 14

Baby face don't grow so fast
Make a special wish that will always last
Rub this magic lantern
He will make your dreams come true for you

Ride the rainbow to the other side
Catch a falling star and then take a ride
To the river that sings and the clover that
Brings good luck to you, it's all true

Chorus:

Pink elephants and lemonade, dear Jessie
Hear the laughter running through the love parade
Candy kisses and a sunny day, dear Jessie
See the roses raining on the love parade

If the land of make believe
Is inside your heart it will never leave
There's a golden gate where the fairies all wait
And dancing moons, for you

Close your eyes and you'll be there
Where the mermaids sing as they comb their hair
Like a fountain of gold you can never grow old
Where dreams are made, your love parade

(chorus)

Your dreams are made inside the love parade
It's a holiday inside the love parade

On the merry-go-round of lovers and white turtle doves
Leprechauns floating by, this is your lullaby
Sugarplum fingertips kissing your honey lips
Close your eyes sleepy head, is it time for your bed
Never forget what I said, hang on you're already there

Close your eyes and you'll be there
Where the mermaids sing as they comb their hair
Like a fountain of gold you can never grow old
Where dreams are made, your love parade

(chorus)

Your dreams are made inside the love parade
It's a holiday inside the love parade

... a smile for you on friday inspired by joni up above.

MikeLondon : What's the other criticism site? on February 15

Hello, you said you joined a another site recently that is much more serious with criticism. I'm looking for other sites as well and am curious what you found.

Cvillelisa

"Response to Criticism and Critique" your post

I've recently re-joined another site that is far more "serious" about ripping and shredding people's poems.

On the whole, the poems are definitely of a consistently higher quality with regard to things that are measurable (punctuation, line-breaks, spelling, etc.) and some are excellent (many many published poets announcing their acceptances daily) but I also feel that perhaps there is a sucking out of Voice and individuality that goes on.

So, what I wanted to ask was a few things:

1. What type of feedback, critique etc. do you find most helpful?

2. Do you often make changes or edit your work? Do the critical comments make a highly, moderately or not at all difference in the revision?

3. How long do you wait before making revisions? Edits? Let the poem stew? Make immediate changes?

4. Do you find that over-revision and over-critiquing leads to sapping the original work (even if it failed the readers) of its energy?

Thanks, looking forward to some discussion.

Lisa
