The Gazelle

I read somewhere recently that you were thinking of leaving. What a tragedy that would be. This is one of the best poems I've read today. Happy new year to you.

No I will not be leaving but am toning my poetry down due to language difficulties. Thank you very much for your kind comment. I am pleased you liked this.
Happy New Year to you too.

I love the imagery in this one, Pia and what a fantastic word...'discombobulate' is;-)

Very much enjoyed.

Tina;-)

Thanks Tina- glad you enjoyed.. thanks for telling me..

Language difficulties, Pia? If this is representative, then I'd say you have no difficulties at all! There aren't many poems where you find 'discombobulate' used in a way that is both entirely appropriate, and which fits without jarring the rhythm. Brilliant. :)

I really hope you stay with us, Pia :-) You're a much loved writer and poet on ABC, I hope you know that! And I agree, congrats on pulling off 'discombobulate' not many people can do that ;-)

Thank you so much Stan and Magic- really appreciate your kind comments.
Think I'll stick around a while longer.. thanks for your support

Hej dear highhat
Agree with all of the above.

ps
who else would help me with Danish translation if you left?

Hi Scozen- Yes I would hate to leave you in the lurch.
Thanks for the support

;)Pia

Thank you cherry-picker

"With wit and watchfulness". Best line for me. Cherries too. Thoroughly deserved. Happy New Year.

Or should that be,

Godt NytAr.

I couldn't put a little circle (?) over the A, sorry.

And I got the translation from a dodgy website so if it says "please don't go" I'm sorry.

With your trademark feline playfulness assured, I enjoyed this, Pia. It bobs along like a smiling cat.
Typo- 'its prey' instead if it's, and don't worry, nine out ten Brits get that one wrong! It's like your and you're.
Glad you haven't flown away.
Richard

Scratch- You got it right- Godt Nytår to you too. I'm glad you looked in on this one. Thanks.

;)Pia

Hi Richard- Yes that one can be difficult- I have corrected it now and I do know the difference- a typo and slip of the mind.
Thank you ever so much for your comment. I really like your poetic remarks and thank you for stopping by.
Hope things are going well for you?
Have a lovely day and weekend.

I like what blighters says, yes it moves along like a well greased eel sliding down an icy ski run. Very good pia. :-)

ha ha thanks for the metaphor FB- great-I wonder if eels ever feel the chill?

Dear Pia,

don't ever think of leaving here please, just take a
break if you need one, I for one would miss you so
much and your wonderful writing.

I too love that word discombobulate and agree that
it's a word I've never heard used before.

I loved that last final words:-

shoot me in the head
even with my last breath, I'll never give in.

Such powerful words, loved this piece and well done
on the cherries, really deserved.

Jenny.

A great bounce back Pia!!! Smile ... Like the way you got into the animal characters in this piece.

Jenny- I really value your support- think I am picking up again- thank you ever so much for your kind thoughts.
Glad you liked this poem
;)Pia

Blessing- glad you enjoyed- thank you for telling me

;)Pia

I agree, when I read you might be leaving I was devastated. I can't tell you how much I would miss your poetry. This one is an example of how you can use the English language incredibly well! The images are breathe-taking.

Beeme xx

Gee Beeme- that certainly means a lot to me- coming from you. I am a great admirer of the immages you especially bring forth in your poetry.

Thank you very much for your encouragement. So heartfelt appreciated. I will try to plod along and you know what- the cherries don't mean as much to me as comments such as yours ! ;D

;)Pia

Pia, your difficulties are well hidden. You must be a sort of magician with words.

Rich

Thanks very much Rich - that was such a nice thing to say.

;)Pia

This poem is really beautiful: I could imagine it with every word written!

..."you pose as the lioness stalking its prey,
creeping stealthily in the tall grass"...

I'm glad you decided to stay =) Thank you for posting this, such a pretty poem; cherry well deserved for a very well written piece of art.

Savannah

Thank you very much Savannah- that is very kind of you.
