How Do I Love Thee? by Elizabeth Barrett Browning and Painted Diary

Oh WOW! How on EARTH did I miss this one MS KIM?!?!? Lovely lovely collaboration of sorts lol - Really a brave piece considering EBB was one of poetry's main innovators and her work still inciting creativity from new poets and such. Just wow!

The Following Text Is Quoted:

I love thee to the level of everyday's
Vampirical Dance
at dusk
where her hungry blood
awaits
transfusion
as she lay

I thought this stanza in particular not only epitomizes the piece but does so very intricately. I love the style here - with the longer lines of EBB and the quick, concise lines you've added.

A brilliant poem MS KIM! Thanx for the sharing AND Congratulations on the publication! = AWESOMENESS!

Dear Ms Jacquii,

You hit it on the head. I was very hesitate to write this because of EBB's stature. However, I always wanted to collab with a deceased poet, and with the concept in mind, this poem by EBB was perfect. So I went for it. I am honored that you took precious time to read and to comment Ms Jacquii. See what JPiC does to me? lolol The publisher said in all their years, they have never come across a piece like that, so I am proud that I was brave enough to write it, and take a risk. Thanks Ms Jacquii.

Hey KIM - I have to say I've never seen anything quite like it either - That's why I'm loving the style - It's so unique and so..........MS KIM (if that makes sense) A Brilliant piece or writing really!

You go GIRL
