Teach Me More (Mindful Memorable WS # 6)
you taught me to soar
without wings
to paint with words
to sleep
on the clouds
to hug and kiss the stars
to sway
and bask the best of the day
even if it were dark
you taught me
every little hearty bit
almost everything I want
but you never
told me
where- when you leave
to keep
my heart

this is awesome rula
this is awesome rula
the only thing that spoils it for me is the repeating of ‘heart’, not only are they only six lies separate, but also, with both finishing the line, they really stick out
what do you think about changing one? to maybe make the first one ‘breast’, ‘affections’, ‘centre’…
‘
I can’t pick any favourite lines – I would have to write them all out. well done, and memorable in its beauty of imagery
- soaring without wings, painting with words, sleeping on the clouds....

Very well done Rula!
Your voice here is like a feather-touch. It's so easy to lapse into the sentimental when speaking so openly of love. You did it the hard way, the real way. You gave us the blue rose and its thorns. Exquisitely done!

Hi Rula
Can't find a word I'd change. But try line breaks between line 6 and 7 then between line 9 and 10 and see if you like it...................stan
