I like the enjambment in this poem. "Sweet Solidarity" appeals to me as well. I only wish there were some indication of a break between the penultimate and last lines to make the reading easier. Not punctuation, as that's not in your style, but perhaps a simply line break?

Kudos on another excellent piece. ellsbeth

Not all life's mad rush,

Let me dwell in peace—your hush,

¿Did I make you blush?

But then,—gentleness can crush,

One hair strand,—caught on a brush.

That's express poetry: clear, aesthetic and unique. For some reason, I find the rhyming cunningly appropriate.

i can definitely relate to this piece right now. great word choice!

wow! the image it conjures (ae least in my mind) is really beautiful. .

*Sigh* so simple, so effective...so beautiful...

ah yes, the only sane thing in the world of crazy. got a really soppy picture in my head of a couple gripping onto each other within the eye of a storm. wonderful, kudos.

cool! I really love the theme of this one. It is so real, so beautiful... it makes me glad that I can read!

write on!

aw! i love it! there is such a GREAT contrast here, all the movement in the first half against the sweet steadiness and solidity of the second half. the "somehow i find/you" was a *perfect* transition, it made me smile :). i'd even say there's some real warmth in the last two lines *basks in the warm fuzziness* :P excellent poem, love it to bits. :)

short but great...love your style

We do need a place of peace in order to keep ourselves sane. Great work.
