I'll read it again and maybe make notes. But what I am seeing is talent. Two with talents polished and controlled (by their muses?) each with different styles. I'm thinking it was hard to get a grasp on what was transpiring and harder still to explain it. I do hope I learn, even a little bit, from 'listening' to you two. I'm glad you shared. <br />Sherry, please don't worry about being old. As my former NASA boss would tell us in report and critique writing, "Write faster." :) Ha. I am not a writer, I just write and like to write <br />what will please most of those who choose to read me. I am much older than you and won't be bothered by that.

It's a wonderful conversation, where you share and explore your processes and influences, and it's like a blending of two voices, in some ways ~ the elder listening and offering wisdom, the younger, listening and sharing new ideas too - and both, walking away with something more, for it. What a lovely compliment to each the other, and for us too. <br /><br />I've enjoyed reading and learning more about you both personally. And so, may you both continue to pen and poem, and create and imprint yourselves on the world, and on our screens. 😁Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2542041444980449672.post-31951861289296189752018-09-05T12:13:21.705-05:002018-09-05T12:13:21.705-05:00Thank you, friends, for your lovely words of suppo...Thank you, friends, for your lovely words of support and encouragement.

It has inspired me halfway across the world for years. And, Sanaa, I have grown to know you as an enthusiastic and giving person, whose passionate nature is revealed in poetic verses.<br /><br />What I most enjoy about your chat is the way you describe your growing as poets. Sherry, coming into the persona of Wild Woman as a means to achieve personal independence; and Sanaa, you have found your space in which to evolve and the voice you wish to sing with.<br /><br />Two most special poets, so well matched in this chat.<br /><br />Kerry O'Connorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00720862912375945249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2542041444980449672.post-16749465961816073212018-09-05T11:01:01.369-05:002018-09-05T11:01:01.369-05:00Thank you so much Shay and Marian 😊 I am glad you...Thank you so much Shay and Marian 😊 I am glad you guys enjoyed our Toad chat💞<br /><br />It was a pleasure working with you, Sherry 💞☕ Yayy 😊Sanaa Rizvihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06681404650477409830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2542041444980449672.post-89304125725755138372018-09-05T10:51:11.417-05:002018-09-05T10:51:11.417-05:00Thank you, my friends.

Yes, Wild Woman feels like another entity, though an inner one, when she speaks through my poems. She is rather quiet these days, as i get older and more tired, lol. Hopefully, she will speak again.

Really fun combination!!<br /><br />Sherry, I didn't quite realize the entirety of your recent journey to Tofino, the part about you passing on an earlier opportunity and carrying regret. I'm so glad the newer opportunity came to you, as you are so obviously exactly where you should be! Yes, do it NOW and value yourself, bears repeating over and over.<br /><br />You both are so lovely and I really enjoyed peeking on the conversation and learning about your processes.

I've always wondered, "What is with the third person thing?" This interview helps me understand how it feels for you. <br /><br />I am incredibly happy for you that you got a second chance to go to Tofino to live. It's where you meed to be, I know it speaks to your soul. And it's good indeed to hear you talk about valuing yourself and not always someone else first. You are important! <br /><br />Sanaa, one always knows what one will get with your poems. You are a marvel of consistency.<br /><br />Thanks to both of you for the opportunity to listen in on your chat.Fireblossomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07040525704916368792noreply@blogger.com
