ummmmm
potential is the word.
yea, poets really do find beauty in the smallest things
Hey, how long did you have to ponder this matter in the FACULTY DINING ROOM before reaching this stage of enlightenment? PS-"Iraqians" is fucking hilarious.
It seems hand in hand we fall through our hopes and fears. This gave me shivers
Further more you have not really said anything new, which means you have to say it in a memorable way to make your effort worth while, communication and especially poetry is not just ideas in words, but ideas/feelings in words that are well used, shaped and polished like a gem until they shine.
I also think a better title, or more clarification in the poem would be in order.
Fishy.
Yea, umm, no. kinda lost it somewhere around the third stanza, or was it the first?
I have enjoyed this immensly, and you danced around many of the edges I walk in life. Well written, well thought out. Definite-10-
Why can't she be the yellow and you the blue, or maybe purple?
Sometimes separation is the only avenue.
Actually, my eyes are blue-green.
'Creep in to her in the night"
Into her room or back to the uterus?
"And settle for knowing she knows" possibly
"And settle for knowing she knows more."
Does this change what you are saying or make it clearer? -8- maybe a -10- if I were not confused by those two lines.
PERHAPS AT PEACE! AND WITH MANY IRAQIAN AND AMERICAN MOTHERS ECSTATIC IF THEY NO LONGER HAD TO WORRY ABOUT "THEIR BOYS" KILLING EACH OTHER FOR THOSE OLD GRAY-HAIRED MEN IN POWER WHO HAVE NOT THE COURAGE TO DO THE FIGHTING THEMSELVES!
Please, at least point out the grammar and spelling.
An essay. A statement of position. Not a poem. I agree with you.
