Song of the Builders ( After Mary Oliver )

Thank You for sharing these gems of wisdom
artistic marvels dear A!

beautiful...the message..invoking introspection, reflection
on the fragility we posess

Thank you, Cold One. Appreciated.

Wow so so good! I love this👏👏
Beautifully penned
Pure poetic perfection!👏👏

Thank you, Hunter. Appreciated.

This is so much in the spirit of the Oliver's - the premise that there is a foundation we can create upon to improve our private universes within a  shared universe. The ending yields promise that there is room to grow.

The middle is where the reader needs to pay particular attention to glean the dmessage - understand the difference between response/reaction and approach/action. Hostile behavior is always a reaction to what we perceive through the bodily senses.

And how appropriate for the "Bone" competition! ❤📝

Thank you. I appreciate that muchly.  Oliver is one of my all-time favorites, so to know I did her justice makes me happy.  💜💏💋

Thank you, Barona. Appreciated.

This is really beautiful, written in the ponderous way of Mary Oliver, it really embodies her from what I've been reading so far, it has your own wise message also.  I'm still walking the beach and coming up with something, I'm enjoying all the great reads along the way :)

Thank you, PR. I really appreciate that association with Oliver, her being one of my favorites. I do love her style and natural essence reflected in her poetry.  

I am really looking forward to your entry!

beautifully constructed ..the singing builders ..the architecture, with the unshaken plinths ..of love.
the raised vitality of response than the methodology that is almost always stressed by we the blindly theorists ...is enlightening dear Wise One..again am getting fonder of your minimalistic & unique talking format in putting them..#juzme from ur captivating scribe
write on <3 xx

Thank you, my Sweet friend. <3 xo

I'm happy you're resonating with these inspirations by poetic Gods and Goddesses ( in my opinion ).  They give so much in the realm of love and poetry: themselves.  How can we not be inspired and awestruck by them?

Has that feel-essence of 'quietly getting on with it' - an attitude that will ultimately save the world (I hope). Thank you.

(PS: if you've not come across Andy Goldsworthy, he's worth checking out as a 'builder' in Nature)

Thanks, Josh.  I'll look into him.

If you believe he's noteworthy to feature, please list him in the poll comments and we'll get him added.

Oh, slight mis-communication. Andy Goldsworthy is a sculpture with Nature, not a poet. A lot of his work is photographed because it soon disappears under the forces of Nature. To me, he takes a poetic mind into the world of natural sculpting.

Well thank goodness! I just assumed he was a poet until I researched!  

Still and gentle, hopeful and sturdy.  I enjoyed what was positively established here. Thank you, A. You are such a talent.

Thank you, Poppy. xo

Thank you, Lovey. I truly appreciate that.

Wow! This is lovely! And, that ending!.. Mary Oliver is one of my favorites as well, and this just encapsulates her spirit entirely, but in your own pure voice.

Thank you. Rachelle!  Truly appreciated!

I hope you will brave the comp if you love Oliver!
