Blue Poem by Meggie Gultiano

mysterious it is...eye catching....nice to read...as if its like a song, sung with good tunes...humming could be as long as fits the tone.....i love this... naizz

This is a creative writing. I don't know the significance of the color blue but I noticed that jade was mentioned and that is green, my favorite. What fascinates me is the missing ladder symbol. I don't really understand all these symbols. The only part I understood was the part about the desire near the end. I liked that very much. I do wish I had wings. Anyway, that's about all I can say about it. A very unique and creative poem that I mostly did not comprehend. GW62

A poem painting in the color blue. Lovely, fragile, and elegant. Warm regards, Sandra

You are willing to undergo anything as long as you are still loved and can keep on loving. You know this will be a long journey to the 'end' but you are willing to take it little by little and wanting to keep on knowing you are a part of what is happening. Ben

Meggie, I also feel interpretation is never exactly as the poet intended as we all have different perceptions. Even as we are all poets, one poet may work with a narrow vision and be confined while another may have a vast vision for mankind. And some poets will be inbetween. Then is a poet writing for people who don't understand most poetry, or for other poets. I see your blue as scope, as the infinite of he bluest sky. Also you will be protected on your journey and you will find a key to break through to the infinite. You have certainly raised a forum Meggie with this one. Karin Anderson

Since the last of her six consecutive visitations, in Fatima, Portuga, on the 13th of the month, The Blessed Virgin has captured the Hearts & wonder of millions....To reach for the blue...to be wrapped in the blue....is to believe in the ultimate mysteries that challenge our faith, but that bring our mortal existence closer, and closer to her Son, and all that awaits us...if we believe it to be waiting for us. Very nice piece of work...Tho' a tad nebulous...but (imo) thats what makes poetics so much more educating & mind-exercising....Those threadings as thin as Angel-hair in a field of tall grass....Go find it...cuz' the effort was worth it!

What I consider good poems, and I think many other great poets do the same, are those that are not immediately understood but which demand interpretation. The interpretation will vary from reader to reader and may not coincide with the poet's own meanings. Symbolism is usually used in these and everyone may not be familiar with that symbolism and thus may not understand the same meanings as the poet using them or any meaning at all. Your poem is good in that sense of provoking thought and being open to more than just one meaning. Keep writing. Ben
