The 'I' is always problematic. In this case I wrote 'my' which suggests there is an 'I'. There is the volcano, which destroys but the lava will also be good soil eventually. A person, the 'I', can destroy, with words, with what they do, but it can also be the foundation of a new beginning.Did this make sense? Maybe I just thought too much about this.
Thank you for your comment Ron, I'm glad you enjoyed the poem. 'Grace' hmmm nice, love it.
Ha! But that's exactly it. It's the Etna on Sicily. I thought it's a good image of how something destructive can also create life, literally and personally (as in what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.) Thanks Irri.
Okay so I cheated by reading your response to Irri's comment. I'd never dared to say I actually thought of air-condition when I read this. LOL Very good, Ron.
Thank you Dark. I always read this blog and now I'm in too. Wow!
Aww Lisa 'practical flawless' thank you, but you didn't mention my endless sentences you have to hack in two or three all the time. And I learned a lot just by reading what the editors around here talk about.
Now you know Sly and you made me think about how I'm doing this, never did this before.
Turning the table, good idea. *goes and reads The Phantom*
Wildlife of the Carribbean by Herbert A. Raffaele and James W. Wiley (in the hopes it were a Carribean Island)
Art Formes of Nature by Ernst Haeckel (If I can have some pencils and paper too I would try to copy some of the creatures)
The Silmarillion by J.R. Tolkien (I had finally the time)
Italian Journey by J.W. Goethe
Das große Buch der Vollwertküche (A cook book)
Yes I want to know about Chad: how he figures things out. The thing is I want to know more about Steven, the Methodist church organist too. So even if he isn't the main character, you might let me know in passing?
Very promising first chapter.
This is exactly what I wanted to achieve: That you can relate to the story, to the feeling, to the situation, that it feels real. Thank you for telling me this. It makes me proud and it's so motivating. I think I will read your review again and again when I'm in doubt of my writing.
