Fly With Me Poem by Colleen Courtney

Are you familiar, Colleen, with Garrison Keillor and his NPR show THE PRAIRIE HOME COMPANION? His sign off phrase goes BE WELL, DO GOOD WORK, AND STAY IN TOUCH. I have failed on that last count. So when I saw this recent poem I decided to correct the error of my ways. The opening line is very honest, and in our youth oriented culture very provocative. You're telling the truth about human experience, but with the wisdom of a poet you don't leave without a vision and that vision is the next six lines of a seven line poem. That's the proper balance for a poem with the vision of a love flight, a loving flight, a flight with love - there are so many dimensions to this vision you give us!

Irresistably insatiable you. i do know how you feel,

an excellent write and so true

The honest love educates and empowers from inside. Love guides in tender and right path. Together you can fly to unimaginable levels of ecstasy. An excellent poem is brilliantly penned....10

There is no greater gift than being loved for who we are. A beautiful reminder for us all.

Beautiful, reminds me of me and my partner

flying without wings in a weightless mood skating through the white clouds will be a crazy experience- nice write - I like it

A fine poem, Colleen! It is good to see you back on PH!
