Beautiful, profound and so uniquely 'you'..Very touching, Julia. As always, Sandra

Another fine poem which conjures strange images in the mind well done.

Upon reading your poem one can surf a new world and learn a new philosophy

Dear Julia, This is an interesting format: the poem as dialogue. It's a format that was more common in the late 19th century but with rhyme and meter. The title could well have been 'Temptation'. Brava for resisting! A very good poem. Kind regards, Hugh

Very expressive and deeply thoughtful. Enjoyed reading it.

I like the open confession in this, Jules. The sense of immediacy also brings the poem to life. And I like the speaker, Jules. Honest, if flawed, and of course, so spiritual. A nice early morning read for me. Warmly, Gina.
