Richard Lewis couldn't have said it better. In fact? He didn't.

Quasi bombastic leave blower. And extra onions.

Sounds like a Narcissuses' pre supper hymn to be sure.

enjoyable read, blessed with 9.

All that is missing is majestic music!

Considering it is painfully obvious from your imagery that you have never hunted before and are relying of clichéd observations from your past and maybe the dictionary, the fact that you use it as the base metaphor for what you are trying to say is, how I should put this, ridiculous. Thanks for you time. Rally other than that it is quite lovely. And such original thinking.

Daring!!!!! Original!~!!! Super!!!!

The fact that Z has to send/post a picture of the event for the poem to really to take hold hurts the poem. Maybe you could give the reader just a bit more to make it make sense of what and why it (i.e. “Nature” is being said. I am afraid that the name just doesn’t cut it. Of course, I am sure hatter’s hare will disagree, but what does she know, she only drinks pilsner. I think we get that idea when we look at the picture, but alone I think the poem fails. Initially I was afraid you had holed up in the john with a tattered copy of “Iron John”.

Is this a poem or simply a collection of statements with a tag line at the end? I need to know.

Nutty and impressive (in the way that it leaves an impression). I like the unusual formatting. On the downside, I feel like there is an oversimplification, or a misunderstanding someplace; just a feeling.

Ack. Seeds - I hate seeds.

Okay - lots of really interesting and good things happening in this piece! Great imagery. The second stanza though - it just doesn't gel for me. I think you went a tad too far in the simile then the further description of how you were assembled - the whole yard gnome/lawn thing. Almost starts to sound like a bad detective novel "she was like the night, really dark and when I was around her I would always wack my shins" - okay, an extreme bad example.

I can hear it speaking to me, but I'm not sure what it's saying - it is interesting, but puzzling. I don't mind puzzles. As an aside, a nocturne is usually about the night - is this part of the puzzle?

See the Bitch! poem comment of using a title as a final tag line and ultimately a young cop out for a poem that would probably work better as a lyric.

Nice work.

:0) I was worried about that poor crab, now it's a bite. Your images are fantasic as usual. 23.49

A nice needy love poem with zing!

I liked the 4th stanza. The rest does not live up to it.

Everyone I have ever met seems to think their life worth a novel. Never know though, yours may have that quality. I'm not fond of lengthy soul pourings. Sorry, but this one made me sleepy.
