As the sun continues to warm the May Earth every all things become animated including this poem I wrote a while ago, it just fell out of my note book, perhaps wishing to be set free.
If Susan Boulet Creatures Spoke They Would Say
We are fur and feathers and
flesh glittering over the marsh
of your desires we
send up offerings
into the daylight animated
shivering in delight
we are longings
from the deepest well
released set free
flawless.
As Told to Carol Carlilse

I don’t know which I like better–the poem itself, or the image of it falling from your notebook, “wishing to be set free.” 😎

We have a local artist who does paintings like those of Susan Boulet. They are beautiful. We have one of her paintings. Wish I could afford another or more. Enjoyed your poem Carol Lee.

Love the video; I’m a big fan of LIsa Gerrard (she sang in the soundtrack of “Gladiator” and the group “Dead Can Dance”) and Jeff Rona has done many soundtracks, neat guy. Lovely poem, Carol.

Since I first saw Susan Boulet’s work I find myself gazing at people and wondering which animal they most resemble. Enjoyed your poem.

I knew You would ask that. What do I resemble? My daughter and husband often accuse me of having a Chicken on my head because I have so much fluffy hair and I was born in the year of the rooster. Animals have an affinity for …all creatures k9 wolves, foxes and Mr. Tricky himself coyote. I’m always getting tripped up by my own doing 😉
