Recently I had a debate with someone over the use of 'this (is)' in a poem. I always wonder what happens when you pull it out - because there's always something happening. To me 'this (is)' is like a pointing finger, it's outside of the poem. The other party didn't agree. To him it was something he used frequently, without any objections. He liked the rhythm of it, and the decisiveness. I think he would have used your poem to prove his point. But maybe I would have too.
I've got a problem with 'she dreams'/'she thinks'.

You should try 'Epiphany' by David Hewson then.

Well - it originally was intended to be a poem about..anyway, it slipped off track and I ended up with this, don't know what to think of it. I like it and I don't like it.

I give you the apostrophe. Not the periods. The sentences have been cut by the stanzas. Why? Because of my breathing, I think.
As for the meaning of the poem, well, I'm afraid that if I try to explain it I'll ruin my chances of getting across what doesn't seem to make sense. If you know what I mean.

I'm in the dark. It seems a very private thing to me, with strange imagery.

Iâve made some changes. I think itâs a bit more clear now. Iâm still not satisfied though.
The part about the bus is important to me. Thereâs got to be some element of choice in the whole thing.

Thanks. To me it's like stripping a thing until nothing but the thing itself is left, something like that.

If Frank leaves you in the dark, maybe you should try to find a door. Like 'The Day Lady Died', that's a beautiful poem.

I don't think this is a poem. It's more like a sermon.
A poem has at least two faces. A sermon only one.

Nice. I should skip the amazement: if it's there, the poem should prove it. Not your telling me.

Don't care much for those animals. Who does? But the Lost Socks - now there's one of life's great mysteries. Two go in - one comes out.
