elementals

to reach out and 

compare stories of 

how we came to this 

place, unbidden 

but for 

the draw of like souls 

and like minds 

exploring the dance 

of laughter and tragedy 

in a circle, always a circle 

ever-expanding, sewn 

with deft fingers 

pulsing the horizon 

with earth and fire 

and the unknown

[JR Darewood]

this is amazing!!! and not just a little bit. It's really, really amazing. Why isn't this page full of comments about how amazing this poem is?

You structure the lines so that each new line is a reveal, each phrase generates a sense of anticipation for the next. the physical position on the page and the "in a ciricle, always a circle" I love it! Lots of great images too. "exploring the dance of laughter and tragedy" etc.

One constructive note: I'm not sure about the word "pulsing" I like the image, but how do fingers *pulse* the horizon?

Awesome poem. I'm sticking this in my library
