Bedroom- Painted House

In a dark second floor bedroom is this fabulous face.

The room was so dark and the colours of the painting so dark that some of the pics came out almost black.

It was quite the shock to my senses,

When I turned 180 degrees around, and saw this.

View of when you come out of the room, to go down the stairs. The black w/ green motif doorway on the right,

….. is a bathroom.

I told you I had a surprise for you on my stop of your Simple Pleasures book tour. All I had to do was pick 1 Bryan Ferry song. This turned out to be most difficult, overwhelming. Better late than never!

Through what I see as 8 versions of her self, Christy reveals 8 versions of my self.

Yes, her metaphors are cunning, and her near rhymes, feet & other poetic abilities are alluring,

  However, it is her ability to stay focused on the self that make these poems very special & simply personally meaningful.

Read “Versions Of The Self” & be wiser, as you will discover in Future Selves.

BTW, the concept of “Versions” itself, is poetry! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Christy Birmingham of Poetic Parfait fame wrote this book of poems.

Yet, it’s more than a collection of poetry. It is clearly a journey, a journey that begins in pain.

Path #1

  As she took me along her travails using metaphor to an exquisite height, I became enlightened. The rhythms of her near and not rhymes rocked me in their arms.

Her pondering did not pander. Rather, I looked out upon her reality with a gentle concern .

In the end, I was rewarded with the sense of being freely born, and although not into a perfect ending, into a sense of dignity, positive energy and wisdom.

The final poem in Christy’s book is titled “What If”. Therefore, I ask, “what if you read it?” Well, if you do, you will be inspired, too!
