Second blog -- answers to an ocean of prompts
Kathleen-613's creation for my blog

"Failure is unimportant. It takes courage to make a fool of yourself."
CHARLIE CHAPLIN


Blog City image small

Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet
confinement of your aloneness
to learn
anything or anyone
that does not bring you alive
is too small for you.

David Whyte

For: "Space BlogOpen in new Window.

Prompt: prettypoetry’s "Invalid ItemOpen in new Window.

"It is so beautiful the way you all reveal your real selves!
The things I learn are invaluable every time we talk!
Sharing the greats of your heavens, the hell of your hells!
Your stories are mesmerising, the way you walk your walk!"

What do you suppose the poet means?

---

I think the poet is appreciating people a lot; I might be wrong, of course. For a split second, I wondered if it were a satirical poem.

Yet, on second thought, I don’t think so because the entire poem is only of those four lines, and I really think she’s talking to us, the WdC people, celebrating who we are and what we write.

What is there not to celebrate? We come from culturally diverse backgrounds, converging upon a single ideal: our love of writing. Our stories and journeys are all different, but we blend beautifully. As much as our individual uniquenesses can be treasured, our medley is a united whole. So, thank you, prettypoetry, for writing about us. *Smile*
