there's a lot said here...frames of mind can play tricks and can sometimes tune into the frequency though it may not be clear on a cloudy night (meaning I could read this for hours and find several different ways to interpret this)....with that said... faithless, and no want of it as she waits through eternity...a penny for her immortal thoughts...even if I'm wrong, I like it, because I may be right shortly.... =o)
nice cinquain, Trisha

Powerful! So brief, yet it's as if you've painted a mural of dark, cooler colors.

things aren't always what they appear to be. short pieces like this leave so much to the imagination and to interpretation and that makes this powerful and as deep as we allow it to be.

i love the image of "templed flesh". that can be taken several ways.

powerful!

[RAWR!]

the thing is, using so few words makes this piece really stand out.
depending on the day, it will always have a diffrent meaning.
atleast for me

i can de relate to this being raised in a strict Irish Roman Catholic family and then falling from grace into existentialism w/ atheism, and then finally agnosticism....not that i am much on ism's...nice peace! stating the obvious that everyone else has to this point--its short but clearly well done in only 13 words...my fav number!!! did you plan that?

[Haden]

wow, i loved this. amazing how in such a short space you can get the point across. "irony" that's the word that ties so perfectly the beginning to the end. nice work.

Poetry is like this is the reason I love this form so much. Perfect little truths without imbellishmemt. They are what they are, and what they are is beautiful.
