notes I gathered

things I jotted down

In time

In space

In you

In me

I am lost --

and that's

where

I should be ...

I ran into you

and into me

the moment

I felt your 

smile

penetrate 

my history

and be

come 

there's the window

that peeks outside

your room.

the tree,

the moon. 

and there, 

between 

 the pasture 

and forever,

is me.

not easy to "capture" that time in a timeless moment ..really like the interwoven theme of intimacy ... and i like that you bring nature (the pasture) into things ... i always like this kind of form as it works its way down and across the page ... makes me pause with each little section ... but when i hit the "window" verse i says to me self ..oh...that is so cool! ;) i don't think the bold font in V1 is really necessary ... i understand that you want it emphatic ... but i don't think it is necessary ... and i wanted the last two verses to be on different steps ... now these impressions are not critical Lyn ... my sense of balance when looking at the whole form is what prompts my thoughts ... this is such a deep intimate personal experience in reading on love ... not just between lovers but on God too ...as the work with time and space draws thoughts of God to me ... for "just jotting down" you created a very emotive thought provoking poem says i! :)

Thank you for your thoughts. And I concur on formatting. Was attempting to alter but tedious to edit on phone. So I will do so from computer

[Einstein Noodle]

i don't know how anything is done on those phones but answering or calling someone ;{ so good on ya for trying .... its been a fine year reading your stuff ma'am! and having your reviews of mine ... Happy Many More to you and yours! :)

[Lyn Anderson]

I fixed it how I like it. I always change the fonts up from one poem to the next.:)

[Einstein Noodle]

;) read it again...so lovely!

I like all three, but the third one appeals more Lyn. Peering out of windows and gazing on the natural environment is definitely a me thingy. The tree, the moon, yep I've done that.

[Lyn Anderson]

Thanks, that's mine too.:)

[Chris Shaw]

Great minds and all that :)

[Jon Roggie]

I like the second write. Mixes with my sense of humor!

[Lyn Anderson]

Thanks my friend, neither of us have been around much at the same time. Nice to see you

[Coyote Poetry]

So beautiful dear Lyn.
"the tree,

The above lines. Perfect. Thank you for sharing your amazing words and thoughts.

Thank you. That means a lot, coming from such a romantic poet.

[Coyote Poetry]

I love your work and you are welcome Lyn.

I simply can not decide which of this latest trilogy or 'trilyngy' I like the most... they each deserve to be mounted in their own write and on their own separate page, but then of course they would break that strict trilyngy mold......... N

[Lyn Anderson]

Yes I know they are. Separate but not. Perhaps I should split them up and sew them up again. We'll see

leave them as they lie ......

[redzone]

I love how your "thoughts" connect and make a whole, even as they each could be separate... there is a continuity here, a story with beginning, but no end.... your last few lines are so tender and filled with such emotional impact Lyn, I think you make all of us who read your words sigh and say I want some of that "forever".... this is one of your very best poems Lyn, at least I think so...

[Lyn Anderson]

Why thank you darling. I appreciate that. I know I could edit these to be separate or connect them through formatting, but I prefer them as is ...

[redzone]

as do I Lyn... it is you, no need for them to be different than they are.... you allow the reader to connect or keep separate but mostly to enjoy...

[Lorry]

Love the idea of being lost and knowing that's where you are meant to be. Sums up my life really, a bit like having question marks for eyebrows, speaking languages others don't understand, but knowing that is where I am, more often than not :)

[Lyn Anderson]

Thank you for the very perceptive review

[Lorry]

You're welcome :)

[Nipplegrinder]

I feel as if there's a few poems, in these lovely notes.

[Lyn Anderson]

There are. That is how they were written. :)

"...between the pasture and forever is me"
I like the sustain of that line, Lyn. It's lovely.
I think I understand where you were heading with the layout of this one, though I dare say the sweetness of intimacy and the internal shift would come through just as clear had you opted for a less flamboyant (?)structure ... Still and all, the content is romantic and dulcet. A lace curtain moves with the breeze.

[Lyn Anderson]

thoughtful review. Yes, it is somewhat of a conundrum. I have always written poems in small thought blocks of connected themes, and later torn them apart in the edit. Sometime along the way I started presenting these poems as they were originally written, separate poems on the same page. Some people intuitively connect them as stanzas, and then they do don't find the format pleasing. For my own part as they were written separately I can't seem to connect them. Although I can see people's view on that, I am torn.

I give up. Trying to edit my own comments. Autocorrect is having its way with me
