Re: THE FIRE AS A WHISPER
John, thankyou so much for checking this post out. What you say makes very good since. With my own poetry I will keep this thought in my head, as to this post it came from a book of Rumi poetry and this is the way they laid it out. Thankyou again for the good advice. Blessed Be.

THE FIRE AS A WHISPER
You evidently have the innate gift (or scourge) of being a poet. With this said, I'll only turn to the syntax. Why do you put a period (.) after each line? Are you writing prose or poetry? 2 thoughts here:
1. Go to any bookstore and pick up any published poet, and do you see a period after each line?
2. Poems are more like word paintings, so how would you feel if after each brushstroke, the painter placed this dot--that this process of thought stops here, and Im starting a new one--well where would the composition be?
Take a looky, and let me know how you feel about this.
John
