MasticadoresUsa // Editor: Barbara Leonhard //
It’s my great honor to have my poem, “Words Like Appendages Set Sail” posted on MasticadoresUsa thanks to Barbara Leonhard for publishing this piece. In my busyness, I forgot to share it on my site last week. Thank you to those who have already gone there to read and your comments. If you missed it, here you go:
Words like appendages fall from my lips gathering sounds, nouns, verbs, and consonants to create poetic imagery.
Lips pursed, whispers blown, screams echo to disassembled freedom. I drink in the bittersweet expression in words found as I clink my glass to you my friend that pulses through my soul when words run empty or body parts crumble not recognizing the shell in which they exist.
We swim the torrential waters ….
I would be honored if you would go here to read the rest of my poem and share the appreciation at MastecadoresUsa for their support of our literary community.
Thanks truly for reading and again to Barbara for publishing this piece and your support and dedication to detail. It doesn’t go unnoticed. Press on her site for details for details on submissions.

Congratulations Cindy.
Thanks so much Sadje🥰
You’re most welcome 🤗
Top-notch writing as always, Cindy. This is a really cool piece, and the imagery is stunning. Well done, friend! 🙂
Oh Mike.. I’m honored by your affirmation which propels me forward.
Thanks my friend. 🥰🥰
Your expressive words, not one of them is less than the other, but this phrase jumps out at me, “body parts crumble not recognizing the shell in which they exist.” Then followed by the line, “We swim the torrential waters” If only we and all would recognize these things when we are young in think we are invulnerable. My heart is sad over the news that a 40-year-old woman in San Jose has had all of her limbs removed because she cooked a fish she bought in the store that contained a virus. I pray for her Ps. 119:67 and your poem.
Thanks so much Marsha.. You’re so very right… we all thought once we were invincible and we find out fast… sigh.
Oh that’s horrible and I have friend’s sister in law that this happened to over night.. it’s just so sad🥰
How sad! Maybe it is the same person. This was a beautiful girl aged 40. I cried over her.
Congratulations, Cindy. Wonderful piece. Love it.💕

Congratulations Cindy! Is a book of meditative/contemplative poems perhaps,in the works as a followup to your successful book, I wonder ( no pressure) ?
Deeply rich poen my friend–
*These healing waters set sail to the sameness of our souls. I tip my hat to you for all I’ve ever been.***
– May those healing waters flow for all…Amen
Thank you so very much Suzette! I have more of these poems in this fashion and I’m delighted you feel it worthy of a book.. My poetry for my next book is a bit different but I can see one like this as well. Thanks for your faith in me and highlighting those lines🙏🏼😍🙏🏼

This is one of the most beautifully-crafted and descriptive poems I’ve ever read from you. The words come alive on the page. I especially like the imagery of appendages falling from lips. You truly crafted a beautiful piece of art for MasticadoresUsa.
I’m truly touched by your words Simone. Thanks you so very much for letting me know this. I’m honored and blessed by your words, my friend❣️
Congratulations, a lovely piece!
Yes indeed, “We swim the torrential waters together flowing from the river finding sea legs.” Many rivers we cross, drenched by the overflow, finding our breath, in our humanity!
You always string the summary of what I feel and say so perfectly Richard. Thanks so much💗
