I thought to myself, here is an unused bit of me, that I just cast aside for responsibility and the prize of a life that is unhappily comfortable. |

Wow... your thoughts echo the things I've been recently dwelling on in my own thoughts, regarding my own life.
Powerful stuff. You continue to strike chords within me that resonate eerily poignant. I've been thinking a lot about all those people I don't, but could have, interact with as much as I could/should. |

But I think that we are required to sacrifice many of these pieces of ourselves so that we can nurture the most important of those fragments into what we will really become. Had we done so with those other pieces of our lives, we wouldn't have been able to become who we are today, leaving what we HAVE nurtured to be the discarded pieces of that life. |

I can't believe you write these entries in 15 min or less. My own process is much more excrutiatingly slow. You are lucky to be able to write so well with such immediacy. |

Ok, this poem is actually in a highly experimental stage right now, so I'd be grateful if you let me know what works and what doesn't work.

im just going to slam hard into the cold pavement and lie there crying on the ground. the only comfort i will receive will be from that cold stone beneath me.
i tell the Stone im sorry and lay back down cradling my broken, bleeding hand against my chest. im not sure what to do now, so i just lay there and pray. Oh, those who know me are quick to tell me I'm pretty. My Love reminds me of his opinion multiple times daily. |

I LOVE it! At first, it struck me as poetry regarding HAARP in Alaska. But then, by the end, not so sure. Are you speaking of the Moon? Or of the Earth in general? Regardless of my confusion on the topic matter, I was impressed with the beautific and cleverly crafted imagery. It does evoke emotion, though its an emotion that's hard to find a word for - perhaps only 'creativity' can truly grasp the feeling.
Most particularly, I liked the Olmec and Quetzal references, though they pulled me around to thinking all new thoughts regarding the possible topic matter. |
