Description
A Very Great Thing
Wow
Sometimes I surprise myself
The things I do
The places I go
This time I've done more
Gone further than ever
It's given me
This great new feeling
Of being alive
Of being true to myself
Of finding out who I am
I am woman
Strong
Powerful
Comfortable
In my own skin
I am happy
Fulfilled
Excited
Wondrous
Truly awed
By this life of mine
I love it!

I'm in Atlanta, once again having connectivity issues, so can't get to any of my fotos to post, or include them with this poem. I'm having such a great time, seeing so many new things and places I can't get too upset about it~~~so I'll just be patient and catch up when I get home!!

:) Nice poem.
Awesome Marilyn. Enjoy!! I'm back in Auburn and its HOT this time, no snow :(
you sure travel a lot. beautiful prose you have wrote
Atlanta - so now you are a Georgia Peach? :-) I know you have to be seeing some incredible things. I have been through a few times but never stopped long enough to look around. Always been over that way by car though. I know you have to be enjoying it. The south has such charm...
"The Gypsy Rover came over the hill..." sounds like a superb bit of 'finding yourself to me - I envy you! Mike
pulling out your creative writing side there Mo! I like it! Small bits of Hiku in there... hiku i hope i spelled that right. haha. ive tried a few poems for school assignments, your writing pace is like my own. quick and descriptive. Which is nice cuz i can flow with your writing really well and truely get into it! ^^ good job Mo!
thanks so much for sharing your wondrous journey of discovery! bloom on... :)
In Hotlanta!!! Big Place for sure!! NIce writing and hope after the weather clears up there you can post some photos!!!!!
Very cool poem Marilyn! and California misses ya! but! at least you're having fun cool!!!
yeah hYperS lol
Ah...connectivity issues and catching up! It's that how it always goes, when you're traveling and seeing/feeling/sensing new and wonderful things?! Your words capture so much, so beautifully. I guess if I were Russian and using a snooty, obscure definition of a rather famous Russian word, I could call you "Moy sputnik," or maybe it's "Moy sputnika," since I'd have to give the name a female ending. I think. Anyway...the snooty, obscure meaning of that word can be translated as "fellow traveler." It's good to read word from a fellow traveler and I'd love to see more. I have a lot of catching up to do anyway, so I'd best get started.
great poem and hope your having fun on your trip.
thanks
Way to go gal, you carry on and enjoy, have fun and take loads of pictures for us to look at when you get back. Sure sounds like you are having a ball, keep it up but also stay safe. Excellent prose. Bravo!!!!!
If you are enjoying yourself, there in Atlanta, that's what counts, Marilyn. Have a fun time.
the only thong thats important is you having a great time .dont even give us a second thought :o(..lol just as long as your ok have a good time and be good and if you can`nt be good be careful !! mick
You go girl! Both in life, and in poetry. Push the limits! Find out who you are when nobody's looking! Oh yes ... and have fun!! :) Yay!
wonderful work thanks for the brightness warm hug, Linda
That's very nice, Marilyn, but in your exultation be advised that if you were a woman in India, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, or various other Middle East nations, your status as a person would be greatly reduced, virtually to a state of slavery or second class citizenship, as opposed to what you have here in the good old US of A. Have a good trip!
We should all take a leaf outa your book and do the same! Good for you Marilyn.
What a awesome poem. Your passion just jumps off the screen. Very nice work my friend :)
Congrats on your travels Beachzz! A nice reflection on womanhood here too. :D
YOU GO GIRL!!!
cool words
