Charissa's Grace Notes 
Such an interesting and varied little cycle, but I think this is my favourite for the sheer beauty and unfixed nature of the image. I like to interpret it as the white “leaves” of your poetic pages going out into the spiritually starved earth of the blogosphere, but it is left tantalisingly open.
EXACTLY Elli…we will do some poetry exploration, and get to the bones of that one.
I was blown away at how her style meshes with my own, what with layers and nods and implications hidden behind “blatancy”
Oh gosh…LOVE this!!
This is so simple and not simple at the same time. 🙂
I know, RIGHT? Does she not seem like a young poetess in the Charissa school???
Most definitely! 🙂
