loving this

cheers

nice write, Rick.
really enjoyed the
images and thoughts
they conjure.  only
hitch, for me, was
the word, unfurl.
it just screams poem,
to me; this is a matter
of my personal prejudice
against the word, however.

Am I too much of a weedophile? The "red carpet's" seeds & burrs don't seem like negatives, given the context of the rest of the poem. Tom

always enjoy reading your work, Rick

Thanks, James.  I know what you mean, Tiko.  Unfurl doesn't ruffle my fur, though.  Maybe just by chance that I don't hate it the way I hate some others.  I also see a lot of unfulring in nature, and hell if I can find a better word for it (also like what the tongue does with the url sound).

I love weeds.  They're nature's shock troops, trying to reclaim the world from our silliness.

This is different!  I read it three times.  I really like it exactly the way it is.

This is beautiful. I felt a little cringe at "the Spirit" but that's just my own dislike of "God words", by which I mean things like Good, Bad, Always and Never. Aside from that, gorgeous.

to picks.
