Well, you've done it again! Educating us further on poetry and art, with a beautiful example of each! Well done, friend.

Marcia, I love how we can post images with our words here. Because I love them both so much. So glad you enjoy the notes. And thanks for your very kind review. With regards, Sue

You're so welcome, Sue. I too love adding art to the words. How lucky are we? Great job, as always. Take care, friend - Marcia

I must say that this is the first time I have clearly understood Fibonacci numbers and the golden ratio, Thank you for taking the time to give us your succinct explanation. I had not heard of the form before, and you handled it quite well and I thought "Born" was such an appropriate first word and "until we die" the perfect climax. Your art choice, as usual, was magnificent.

As always, I appreciate your close read. Thanks for commenting on the born-die sequence. I knew you would like this artwork! I just KNEW it! How did I? Ha! Isn't is great??!! Those two bold colors together with such simple curves lines. (seemingly simple!) Thanks for your review, Joan....Sue

reply by Joan E. on 25-Feb-2009

Seemingly simple--I wish I could paint that way--I started realistically and moved to abstraction and for the last few months, I've been experimenting with combining my art and poetry. The important thing, is I liked your poem as much as your art choice.

We do have much in common. It's a pleasure to have you as a friend here.
From my heart,
Sue

Thank you--the feeling is obviously mutual.

Simply takes my breath away...You in your own artistic wizardry have captured the very essence of what every person on the planet has felt.

What a connection, what a wonderful testimony of longing and desire to succeed in life.

no_obstacle, your review has gone straight to my depths because of how you express yourself. To have a few of my words so appreciated means everything. Yes, our human needs are so complex from beginning to end. Thank you for your wonderful review. Sue

Wow, this format blew me away. What a massive undertaking. Math is not my subject. But anyway the message is so clear and concise and I hope that the desire to live and learn burns within all until we die, also. joan marie

Yes, yearning is a double-edged sword. We need to yearn, but sometimes if not fulfilled, we "long" too much. A balancing act it is. Thanks for your great review! Sue

I agree. I really enjoy reading your work. I always am pleased by the diversity in your work. jm

Sue, this is another great poem. I loved the message because no matter how old we are, we all have the same human desires. The artwork was great and nice job.

Very clever poem. I like the Fibonacci take on poetry. I'd even like to see someone go even farther with it. Ending with 21 syllables? Or maybe even 34? Could be interesting. Thanks for the excellent (and enlightening) read!

Very cool idea. I think 21 would be a good one. Thanks very much for your great review. Glad you enjoyed it and the notes. Sue

HA! After I read your review, I went back and cleaned it all up. MUCH better now. Had to separate them into paragraphs, etc. Glad you enjoyed this, Jaela. Sue

reply by jaeladarling on 25-Feb-2009

Oh, LOL! I was just referencing my own ineptness at understanding poem forms. This one looked particularly complicated to me. You amaze me with your skills. :) Cheers!
