   I’m seeing your comments for the first time today. Thank you.
   This poem “wrote itself” in the years I commuted to St. Edward’s School from Jenkintown in the early morning stop and go traffic on Broad Street. The Images tossed about in my head until I could begin to capture their essence from scribbled jottings and memories of a blessed time in a loved ten year ministry with the Holy Child Sisters who served at St. Edwards until it was closed by the Archdiocese in 1993.

   Compact, succinct, specific…not a wasted word…every word pregnant with visual, audial and mental meaning.
   Karen, your poetry is “primly elegant”. Thank you!

   This is one of my favorite entries in Heart Stirrings. I loved it from the minute I first read it. Karen, you beautifully captured the image and I was so struck by your last line,
   ” . . . not to vivacious hope
   (the grace of evergreens)
   but to a feisty faith in future blossoming”
   Oh! I pray to have that feisty faith in future blossoming for all the days of my life!
