Healer Poem by Sandra Feldman

Yes, Daniel has interesting insights in poetry and in making connections across the arts...from novels, mythology, and epics to music, the bible, and the Dark side of the Moon! :) Poetry is a unique form that challenges us to make large connections with the least amount of words and the strongest images and metaphors. I also experience healing and inspiration through reading and writing poetry. Thanks sis.

And i thought all you need is love! : -)) Beautifully penned. It has the precision of a guided missile and the insights of an encyclopedia.

Very interesting concept. There you go again, making me delve deeper and think about things I don't normally think about. Poetry is a different art from short stories and novels. Yet it is, perhaps, similar in the same way watercolor paintings are like acrylic paintings are like oil paintings. Akin? Perhaps. I will have to ponder this. Pure feelings? For me, the greatest poetry does appeal to my emotions.... other people may respond to the intellectual poems. Does poetry heal? I think many poets aim to heal or to soothe... Sandra, you served a delicious and complex dish here. I am going to be mulling this over into the late hours. Well done, Sandra, I enjoyed the read. Succinct but containing layers and layers of complexity. An important read. A defnite 10.
