I like "your maternal grandfather's colored ancestors from Port-au-Prince". The rest doesn't work so much for me.

A lovely stare? Lovely forced rhyme, more like it.

I fully expect to hear this lyric attached to a Miley Cyrus song soon. I don't mean this as a compliment.

Your argument didn't really get you anywhere did it? Neither did your poem. This is a tiresome subject tiresomely recounted.

There a plenty of things I don't understand here - I'm being very stupid today, blame it on jet lag as I've just flown back from New York. For one, the title is meaningless to me; secondly, I have no idea what you mean about your trip to the store being handbasketed. However, I love the first stanza and the conversational tone of this.

it's not so terrible, has a good ring when read aloud. gets mundane in the middle and not as good in the end. the beginning is good. don't listen to those jerks. what may help also, right in a code,images. say the person has blue eyes, you could write
"lovely blue jay
you flew away
before you even landed
you left my branches bare
i tried to catch you
but you're too cunning
emptiness makes my heart tare"
just a suggestion helps make the poem reading and writing more fun and interesting.

It's a title that anyone and everyone can identify with, n'est-ce pas?

I've been poeming a lot since ... last Friday, I think. I hit on a new voice in a few of them, and I'm trying to figure that out--but in the meantime, thoughts seem to be wanting to express themselves in this form. This is a thought, not something that's looking for publication, so it's not hidden for future re-working.
In fact, as I'm listening to some beautiful YouTube mash-ups [[ http://thru-you.com/ ]] by a person named (or calling himself) Kutiman, I'd love to create some sort of dialog out of it.
So: I hereby release the poem and its accompanying audio into the public domain; if you see some promise in either, do with them as thou wilt.
And I'd love to know what you think. :) I'm particularly unhappy with s3--I don't think it says what it needs to, but my thoughts started to falter (and my rhythm, though a part of me hopes that works ;) ). And perhaps I don't explore the metaphor (if it's really a metaphor) enough in the first two stanzas... and the fear is important, but I just touch on it (that was supposed to be the core as much as the "sounds", but it didn't go that way).

Blindpoetry / nentwined - :-) Thanks for the comments. valuable. Would like to point out though that this is what our thoughts are about most often. We try to sort things out, we wonder why somethings happen, especially when we cannot find a reasonable explanation. Its like - is it this , or is it that. It is not necessary to have come to an answer at that moment, but this verse is an expression of 'wondering'. Just the very act of thinking !

I didn't pick one because its meant to imply a timeless moment. Thanks for the nine and the kind words.

I really don't get what you're trying to convey here. Ditto Blindpoetry, really. Do you know too much or too little? Or if that's the basis of your conundrum, help me realize that better.
Comes off as pretentious and empty.
