Balanced On the Edge 
Hi, Christine! This site is beautiful! (I’ve been out of town, so that’s why I’ve been uncharacteristically quiet lately…ha). But you have a very nice look going here. “Balanced on the Edge” is a great title. Boy, can I relate to that one.
And I love this poem!! The details are awesome, but I really, really love the ending. It is so true and so powerful. Too often, humans just spin around each other on that same wheel…without connecting. I will read this one many times.

Julie, thanks for your comments. you’re about the most expressive commenter I’ve ever come across. I really appreciate your enthusiasm. I’ve been out of town too, in Chicago, too busy eating my way through one restaurant after another to blog! Thanks for reading my poems.

Christine, I love ‘swamp hypnosis’ too; I’ve commented on Juliet’s blog. It makes me want to pack my bag and head straight for New Orleans …
