Epiphany Comments

A free flight of creativity on winged imagination. Really an interesting story nicely crafted with clarity of thought and mind. A beautiful creation.

A lovely concoction of imagination, creativity and rhythm. It also has an equally engrossing narrative. This poem has introduced me to a completely new genre of writing poems. Your compositions have so much to teach new poets like me!

This poem is amazing! ! ! ! I love it so much that at my school then we have a fine arts festival every year and everyone has to memorize a poem and so I picked this one because its just so inspirational and calming to a little 6th grader like me! ! ! ! Thank you so much Ms White! ! ! ! ! This poem really inspired me to write stories! ! ! ! ! !

I don't know allot about Buddhism, but I like what I am reading in your poetry and in looking up your inspiration. I looked at your website and it is much easier to follow your poem in its proper format. This is a prime example of a poem that is strengthened by the use of form. I see that Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is a meditational chant that helps lead the pracitioner to epiphany? I love the line, I dreamed I would not speak the babbling gossip of the air. I love the use of words in this poem, they seem so carefully selected and meaningful, but also at the same time, they lend to the chanting form of the reading. The repetition, in a strange way, seems to help the mind to focus and cancel out the background 'noise.' Thoroughly enjoyable read. Well written and throughtful. Thanks for sharing.

A wonderful poem Harley.!
