lisa, i love when your intelligence shines through into your writing. this piece is another classic example of this!
tis so good! ;-) xox

Superb and supreme,well done Lisa !!

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! Another classy piece!

Yes….
This reminds me of the trouble I have with finding a medium between love and lust. And then I assume I know neither haha, thus the basis of my own work.

Great work.

Excellent piece Lisa…I will now look at a vending machine in a very different light…but probably continue to push No3…:P

Top work …Hugggs xoxoxo

my goodness…absolutely love this…so clever and heartbreaking through every little paragraph
x

Oh how I love this. I so identify with it and have to say, if I had to choose…it’d be number 1 for me :) (Naughty Demon choosing 3! heh)
This is one of your very best pieces babe..and I just can’t tell you how much I love it.

Very clever…I love how powerful and succinct this is. And in the end she chose to be whole…I agree life’s learning curve can be problematic at times but hey! you know what they say…the views worth it after the climb…excellent piece.

Oh Lisa….this is just …..my lord, you have left ME without words here….lol….ever think that could happen?? lol….what an insightful piece of work…..this is truly one of your best, this just reaches into your soul and and makes you really think about ones life, outlook…..and makes you search your inner-self for what is our life truly made of, what is important, and all that makes us who and what we are… and all the lessons we encounter along our journey…...I love this so much Lisa…...Once again you momentarily left me speechless, love youxoxoxox Trishabear

this is so good, what a great image, so clear & powerful!

My goodness…...what a strong piece!! Love how you’ve distilled this so beautifully…..you are so exquisitely talented, my dear!

I do not have the correct change in my pockets, I’m breaking the glass…

you have quite a style and way with words that never fails to hit a person like an opened handed slap to the face…................OUCH!

ahh brilliant metaphor really lisa, dont worry i wont insert the correct change like some, i ll be sure to take the whole vending machine home and eat one snack at a time
:)

Excellent! clever and so well written…

Well, that’s a mighty tall order there! But, what a fucking brilliant piece of writing! I’m sitting here with and ear to ear grin on my face – Just chuckling to myself. I guess you can cheer me up rather well after all. You’re amazing lady! ;~)

Lisa…....’ .i get this’ and it is lovely.
We are so much more…........change
best wishes to you …...sandra

This is fantastic!!! Such a wonderful way to see this. Brilliant!!!

This is brilliant. You really make some really complicated aspects of life make so much sense.

Brilliant! I agree. We really are machine and customer of ourselves. I think at some point we must purchase ourselves (be comfortable with who we are). Whomever else comes our way, and the observations and purchases they may make (or may not make) (to their gain or loss), they must entirely own themselves. Nice to be free of the vending of our own making.

I agree with the previous comments. This is fantastic!

A lot of heart mind body and spirit went into this piece Lisa !
lots of love to you oxo

What a fantastic piece hon.

omg i freaking love this!!!

Lisa this is a divine metaphor…...........I’m speechless and adore how your mind works! xxx

Lisa, this is an outstanding piece. On my long and never-ending walk on the road to self-love and discovery your words have and will always be remembered as very special. xxxx

For some reason I had to read this a couple of times, because perhaps I was standing too long in front of the glass, saw my reflection particularily in the words “the heartless pass over her heart, content to be without one” which saddens me, only to find that the dreamer and a pocket of change. I also like how you have written “for she” as it reminds me of “for she is me”...it also interests me how you have used something that is so cold and mechanical as the metaphor, the main frame of this poem.. all in all, wonderful and thought provoking!!

this is totally dope
and i love your concept and this is so very true
People have a tendency to want only parts of a person…
you said that truly well put
well composed and something new
love how you related her to a vending machine…truly genius
i love your writings …truly

..you know …lol
never the whole thing…...this was a pleasure to read

true true …..and that what you are
a dynamic duo….smilez

Only just discovered this – I really love the metaphor! Fantastic work :)

OH DEAR!! this is one of the best gifts I have ever gotten!! I am seguayed to this piece by your precious fingers..these feelings of love I know.. I am laughing and shaking my head.. dearest.. you are completely my most favorite poetess or poet ever.. unmatched in literal verse bringing expansive joy.. and unmatched in the ‘do it yourself’ understanding variety …if you dare!!.. truly you are my mentor of word love and intent straight from the heart. OMgoodness.. I am smiling.. too soon for tea and too late for a nap.. what to do!! I am flustered!! tee hee.. Hugs.. my most precious gift!

Brilliant…absolutely brilliant!!!!!!!!!! You shine as a writer!!!!! Jasmine xo

there is no change that could buy a treasure such as this. and only a fool would try to possess something that even god has left free. i would sit next to the glass and whisper poems through the coin-slot. not in the hope of acquisition but for the sheer joy of sharing beauty with perfection. for the honour of keeping company with a free being. the honour one feels when a bird pauses on the grass to share a brief eye contact before flying away.
that way, if you ever left the vending machine, i would know that you were free and that you chose it.

enough said

Fabulous metaphor and Glorious writing, your originality and creativity are stunning, though somehow the whole picture seems too cold for you, (or for my perception of you and my immediate vision of a vending machine) there’s a taste of Dorothy there and I’d sooner see the pieces of you hidden along the yellow brick road ready to be found by those who are willing to go looking rather than available to anyone with a little loose change and only half a mind to feast on you because you just happen to be there…
