go deeper into the woods soothed my pages, butterfly fluttering from the rose of peeling shelves. and in no breeze at all, a sparkling ensued... a very powerful poem indeed. congrats for becoming POD. tony God bless u
" A sparkling ensued and all the golden path were opened" Intensity of emotions flowing through the poem is just supeerb. Congrats on poem of the day.
once you'd begun, reminded someone dressed in lilac, in a peaked hat, shimmering, as I longed to be- all alone on a nursery stage proclaiming: I am the princess great great expressive great 10++++++++
Such a lovely poem. An interesting tale nicely penned in persuasive expressions with conviction. Thanks for sharing, Mary.
Congratulations, Mary Angela, for having this selected again as member poem of the day! The only change I would make would be to move the poet's notes into the actual poet notes area instead of leaving them with the poem itself. Well done!
The childhood memories along with your sister have been so nicely and touchingly delineated. Thanks and congratulations for being chosen this poem as the member poem of the poem of the day again.
Such a beautiful poem. Congrats on being selected as POD.
Mary, what a beautiful memory of you and your sister Sharon that you've shared with us. I probably appreciate it more having recently lost my younger sister. Sparkling is the operative word in the poem. Congratulations and thank you for sharing such a moving poem with your readers. : -)

Such a beautiful poem spun together out of childhood memories. Heartiest congratulations Mary for a well deserved place.

Imagining Grandmother playing Mendelsohn at the weddings....A sweetest memory together with your beloved sister, how loveliest moments you memorize. I have enjoyed very much this enchanting poem, Mary Angela, G.B.U. in Abundance. Amen.
In the first line! ! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
And more threads are enwoven: The roses FOAM in the woods at night, and their petals PEEL like PAGES from your shelves. Your sister kept the thread of stories (or music) like LACE, which evokes church dresses, and your vision of the OTHER SIDE features both of you in lacey dresses...so far back you've arrived in a future Heaven..
Lovely anecdote about your sister jumping up to comfort you at the performance. These remembered moments are reflections of eternity, retrieved from a swift-passing current and treasured...yet never frozen, because they form a shimmering constellation. I see traces of interweaving everywhere...going FARTHER BACK in the woods, and in the fairy tale, and in the music, where GOLDEN PATHS WERE OPENED. When you go farther back on the paths, you begin to think God was in that quality of light.
A wonderful poem with fabulous imagery! Loved it
