Rules of love?
conversations
expectations
immerse
emanate
put at ease
fact or deceit
face to face
eye to eye
mouth to mouth
the canvas changes
what to believe
who to trust
friend
enemy
lover…
the rules of love?

Oh, how that canvas changes. I guess that’s what life is about–change–nothing is permanent…
And another great song–love Gwen Stefani!!!
October 14, 2010 at 11:56 am
Thanks my friend, also love that song and thanks so much for your support. Hugs xx
October 13, 2010 at 12:42 pm
what an intriguing picture…who to believe…that is a great question…i find the short list of people there at the end very interesting…
October 14, 2010 at 11:57 am

October 13, 2010 at 12:42 pm
oh, sorry…happy One Shot…great to see you! smiles.

The transition from causal conversation to a potential relationship when unexpected ‘brings on many changes’ as the song says…an interesting structure to the poem and image…you always provoke thought with your words.
October 14, 2010 at 11:58 am
You always say the nicest things my friend, know that I truly appreciate your visits ~ Hugs xxx
October 13, 2010 at 1:24 pm
this is deep, layered – the changing canvas of life, it really is like that, isn’t it?
October 14, 2010 at 11:59 am
Thanks Ruth, so very true…always changing but change is good sometimes, don’t you think? xxx
October 13, 2010 at 2:35 pm

Hi my friend, I am good….life’s been happening tooooo fast…thanks for being here, I’ll be over shortly as well. Big hugs and thanks for your comment xxx
October 13, 2010 at 2:59 pm
Beautifully written….such questions, speculation, fact or deceit…I am stepping into a slight bit of unchartered territories, excited and hope hope hope it is good…still I get nervous…new placements for me…and I am just…me. 🙂 You got me thinking before sleep yet again, as I seem to come here lately at night (now near 1 am) maybe something good of your words soak into dreaming 🙂 ~ I think this will be a good slight change for me, maybe.
October 14, 2010 at 12:13 pm
You’re up so late girlfriend, I think we all get a bit nervous when it comes to this….maybe we both should just ponder these thoughts. Big hugs darling oxoxoxoxox
October 13, 2010 at 3:29 pm
It does make you think, especially the last few lines about friends and enemies… Well written, Amanda! xxx
October 14, 2010 at 12:13 pm

Thanks girlfriend…happy to see you on FB also 🙂 …Biggest hugs xxx
October 13, 2010 at 10:38 pm
Was digging the beginning, but then the canvas changed and kicked the poem into overdrive. That shift is very telling. Excellent poem, Amanda. hugs and thank you 🙂
October 14, 2010 at 12:21 pm
The canvas always change, does it not? I don’t like change very much 🙂 Big hugs Adam xxx
October 13, 2010 at 10:43 pm
Really like the writing Amanda. Similar, very similar, thoughts roll around in my head.
October 14, 2010 at 12:22 pm
Thanks my friend and don’t we all ? Hugs xx
October 13, 2010 at 10:43 pm
Powerful words, darling. The picture is very unusual. I like it. What a perfect song for the poem. Great job! 🙂

October 13, 2010 at 11:48 pm
Sometimes, there is a fine line between those relationships and they can shift in an instant. Great One Shot.
October 14, 2010 at 12:24 pm
Thanks Suzi, indeed a very fine line…big hugs xxx
October 14, 2010 at 12:10 am
I love the ponderous nature of this poem.
October 14, 2010 at 12:25 pm
Ditto my friend…hugs to you xxx
October 14, 2010 at 12:28 am
A many-layered ponderable poem, gently nuanced. Nice! Thanks, Amanda! Happy days … Hugs!xx
October 14, 2010 at 12:27 pm
True, but pondering’s good sometimes, don’t you think? Hugs always Jamie xxx
October 15, 2010 at 2:38 pm
Ha! Sorry, Amanda… I meant “ponder” as in thinking about, “ponderable” as in able to be appreciated, not as in “ponderous” as in clumsy, awkward, lumbering …
Had to look up ponderable. Though maybe I was making up words again … a new habit … disconcerting. 🙂 Wouldn’t surprise me. Seems to be my new retirement thing.
Thanks for bringing it to my attention, my friend. Love –
October 14, 2010 at 12:31 am
we should trust our soul and judge the words said by all others with as much neutrality as possible.
October 14, 2010 at 12:27 pm
Agreed Trisha, you have said it well, thanks my friend xxx
October 14, 2010 at 12:38 am
Challenging verse, Amanda! Look, test, try, see, learn, change, all encompassed in your verse. Betrayal and deceit discovered, challenged, condemned, received in pain, and repudiated in spirit. The end of your verse proclaims victory in the relentless pursuit of truth, the exposure of lies and liars. The question demanding an answer… who to trust? Thank you for another great piece of art in three dimensional media. Blessings to you…
October 14, 2010 at 12:29 pm
Sad that it’s a fact of life sometimes…but we can rise above it Carol. Have a good evening my friend xx
October 14, 2010 at 12:51 am
Life changes and sometimes deceives, and so do the seasons. Is that a worm I see in the apple?
October 14, 2010 at 12:29 pm
It is a worm:( 😦 🙂 Change can be good sometimes…thanks for reading, I appreciate it xxx
October 14, 2010 at 1:03 am
I love this! Great piece! =)
October 14, 2010 at 12:30 pm
Thanks Nick, I appreciate your comment xx
October 14, 2010 at 2:23 am
This is a beautiful poem, the construction from beginning to end carries the emotion of it perfectly; the sadness and truth of it sticks in the throat on reading making the piece…exquisite.
Big Hugs
October 14, 2010 at 12:31 pm
🙂 Thanks very glad you liked the read 🙂
October 14, 2010 at 3:21 am
The ending of this one is really good. I enjoyed the Friend. Enemy. Lover. Was a very strong end to an excellent piece 🙂
October 14, 2010 at 12:32 pm
Thanks Mark, sending you loads of love…hope life’s good xx
October 14, 2010 at 3:24 am
This one twisted around on itself. A brief but strong One Shot, buttercup!

October 16, 2010 at 4:02 am
Oh I love this! Especially the canvas changes, love that you changed color. Once someone does speak, it all does change, and sometimes what you feared is confirmed or what you expected becomes something different. xo
October 18, 2010 at 3:08 pm
I am over the moon to see you here, thanks so very much for that kind and delightful comment…have a happy week my friend xxx
