Brilliant, Jette. Every poem must have its ingredients. And like the delicacies of those great chefs, those ingredients may appear and reappear as new works are finished. The real skill may be in combining those ingredients in such different ways each time, that the recipe never tastes quite the same. This goes to my favourites list.

Poets are regularly impressed by each other, which shows their essential humility. Each person who authentically follows a poetic path achieves something that others cannot. Collectively we personify lushness and abundance, so these lines really ring true for me: A TASTE THAT TEEMS/ THE SPACE BETWEEN MY LIPS

Beautifully creative. Hmm...those poems we read that seem to attain poetic heights that seem almost unattainable for us do eventually inspire us to write our own unique masterpeices.10+

Jette, I have a poem which expresses similar feelings, one I wrote before I turned twenty-one. See “Village Poetry Reading.” I was reminded then that, as the moral goes from The Tortoise and the Hare, the race is not to the swift... -Glen

I beg to differ with your final confessional line...You are a truly gifted poet.

Thank you Susan! I wrote this poem after a read a beautiful poem from another poet, and I'll admit..I did feel the flickerings of a bit of jealousy mixed in with the awe and the tingling sensation one gets when reading something amazing. I guess I'm only human. :) . I also had fun with this one, throwing in a bit of rhyme, though rhyming is not my usual approach.
