Bravo. Some psychological problem from how I see it and very well put. I like the phrase... Logic signs pass him by. You could do with an edit , but I think from one point of view, you've already made your point. Good work.
Perfect. They are all the same arent they?
Good imagery D. Happy to read one of your poems after a long time. Sorry for the negligence. Hope you are having a whale of a time on the road. Praying for your safety.
There once was a blob named Dovina,
Christ, you'd have wept had you seen her,
All of that weight,
Squeeze into four feet and eight,
She had the combined mass of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Pedaling west, halfway across Virginia
tomorrow I'll crest the Appalachians
just 3500 miles to go
can you imagine the ruts in pavement?
Where's Fraser? Haven't seen him all day.
The first four lines portend a good poem, but the rest only continues to portend, never getting to the snow
That isn't why. It's what you can get.
It's aged and antique compared to your style, but has a nice ring and a good point.
those "who" think us . . .
"fallest greenest" is just silly
Can't see the point of this.
The title's cute and clever. And the bird is hero, cannonballs like birdshot. Line 4: "of the sky"
Really like; "My eyes, slave wet, journeyed through yours." Been there, done that; and that's what makes a poem.
Do you mean "voile"?
Is this about me? Because I thought I told you not to tell anyone about the "ass to face" thing.
drop everything except for the fruit stuff. LOVE: "their bent and pretty form."
interesting approach, but no go
too true.
last line needs work.
limp got it right. middle line is from department of redundancy department. first and last are great
that's why we love 'em
a poem that describes itself, except for the no purpose part...
Start with "I rip down the gate . . ." But for what reason you want to do this I can't see.
