[stylist] Poem - "Jesus" - First Draft

[Bridgit Pollpeter via stylist]

I agree with Chris's comments. I had to reflect a lot while reading and
read a few lines again and again to find the full brevity of their
meaning, but I think this is what good poetry does. It makes you want to
ponder it, study it. You think on it after reading.

I like using language to express emotions and thoughts, and you, Bill,
accomplish this. Whether it's perfection or not, whether we completely
get it or not, your poetry is full of thought. I can tell you put your
entire being into your writing.

Hey Bill,

This was a thought provoking poem for me. I think I get where you are
going 
with it, and yet I can't say I understand every line. Which leaves me 
thinking--which is a good thing. I willl say that what really rang true
for 
me was:

and the second time must
arrive in our heartsblood grottoes

I like that.

Peace,

chris
