Linda Pastan (1932 - / New York / United States)

Linda,

This is such a tender encouragement to new poets, many of which exist on this site. It is tikkun olam to support the word generation that follows. I loved the poem. I give it a 10.

I liked this one very much. I like your syle of poetry, you do have a gift, you know how to bring those words to life.

perhaps...

'The poison of the Honey Bee
Is the Artist's Jealousy.'

-from Auguries of Innocence

How did Pastan ever get a Pulitzer writing this stuff? Sorry, this is trite poetry. But again, she lives in Maryland, as I do, so I wish her well.

I would just like to say I love the poem

if only there had been a flower...to write about. good one.

I am amused with this poem... yes... nothing like finding a new poet! ! !

Well, I have just discovered you and this sums up exactly how I feel about your work. Lovely.

I have been 'picking flowers' since I discovered PH, and your work is one of them.
How wonderful it is to make great new poetic friends who boost your ego AND help you become better at the same time. Love your work, and look forward to more.

Great, 'imagey' write. Regards.
