It’s Perfect! So I’ve decided when it comes to this genre, boomie and perfect and beautiful/emotionally moving all seem to go together! Most excellently well!

    you know boomie, I’m kind (I think) but your talent is real, just so you’re aware of that as well! It is a pleasure to read your work and to share it as I can!

    You are kind… Most days I am just a silly girl who jumbles words together.

    My point exactly. Some of the best artisans I have been fortunate enough to meet see themselves in a different light than others (an endearing quality in your case). If your followers are any indication I’d say they disprove your words quite handily. Silly girl!

Loved it. Seems most marriages that start with that much fire end dangerous and quickly.

StacyMichelle on January 4, 2013 at 7:51 pm said:

this poem is evocative because of what it implies: “you’re too late. you will suffer the consequences. enter at your own risk” very well done, Boomie. This is my 2nd favorite of your poems

    well I it wasn’t really a poem per se, but “accepting my truth” was lovely. you were open & honest & writing from the bones. I could tell.

    Ah, thanks so much Stacy…yea that was a tough one to put out there…i expected it to be the end of me…but so far so good.

    The scars of heartbreak do make us more careful about who we connect with. I nominated you for an award sweetheart. Enjoy.
