Oh! And Patti Smith too; I believe that she and Tom Waits had an understanding that was broken, which in turn broke her... I'll have to read up on Mary Oliver. I've only just heard Leonard Cohen; his voice is something else. My second post on this poem, but I had to mention P. S.
u know what i always say i have never dreamed and i will never but this line reminded me that it is not cos i don't dream it is cos i don't remember but...i ain't sure anyways... ....An ExtraOrdinary poem uriaH…loved it one of ur greatest pieces yet… Can’t wait to read more of ur fabulous work.. **KoNi**
You already know my feelings on this. I love it, to say the least. I've been really thinking about that line ' Mary oliver went looking for a husband, but found a poet instead' you know my affection for her poetry, but do you think it's possible you misunderstood Amberlee Carter for Mary Oliver? Just a thought... take care my friend. Always, Amberlee
I really like this poem, because, I suppose, I am the same way...I don't remember dreams because I don't want to...but isn't it odd how the occasional one is 'as clear as the azure blue sky' and stay with you. Good Description.
'...looking for a husband but found a poet.' She may have been better off, you know. Tom Waits - loved him since I was a kid. Peace, Uriah...
a new approach on a dream poem. i love that no matter what you write it still holds true to that Uriah voice. there's always a rippling to your poems, like a stream.
Great image of the hurricane smashing windows. Also a big fan of Tom Waits.
