I think it works well to leave it to the children, mosquito bitten little legs and fierce stances remaining... gleaming with bug spray, perhaps? Or, is their skin dark, and this is why they catch the light? <br /><br />SO much to delve into!tanita✿davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01671822274852087499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-824466663015731028.post-5118120433776633532017-08-04T07:57:38.785-04:002017-08-04T07:57:38.785-04:00This one was difficult to write.

I'm grateful that my Poetry Sisters use a Google doc to share our poems prior to Poetry Friday---a place where we can share comments and revise in supportive setting. This month in particular, they helped me find a balance of facts and emotions. As for word choices, thank you for the encouragement! That is one of the things I LOVE about poetry---the chance to flaunt words, if I may be so bold. To show how many ways they can be used, to play with their assigned meanings and see if we can go somewhere adventurous.

You never cease to amaze me with the words you choose...a dam for the permitted, liberation from without is a lie. <br />Very thoughtful and well done.
