Stanza 3 is brilliant! The title rips me from the garden and plants me right back in the mundane. In spite of that, I like this poem. 9/10

I pictured a man as well. The title set me up for it. I like it better now. ;)

Wasn't it you that said another of my poems reminded you of Dylan? Anyhow, I won't change it, you'll just have to sing it from now on. ;)

As a Woman I feel that this poem is grossly gender bent! ;)

I'm happy to see this getting high marks. Thank you one and all!
I chipped away at this gem for weeks! It originally had 10 stanzas. I wasn't too sure about the repeated refrain but after its honing I thought it could work. perhaps you're right.

A Curse upon all who decimate such sacred ground! Great poem! My wormwood has over taken the path in my herb garden but I love her still. You should see how she shines in moonlight! 10/10

Too bad about >do not float me out to sea> you seemed like a good candidate for a Viking funeral. Pity really, they're my favorite.

Can you imagine my disappointment? I had high hopes for that film. Silly me, I thought it was going to be about Crop Circles. Instead they tried to spoon feed us crap about faith. Oh I did get a good chuckle at all the inappropriate moments. Aliens of superior intelligence rendered lifeless by water, come to a planet covered in such without so much as a wet suit?! Let the record show that this poem is in no way related to or in reference of that deplorable film.

You naked scalp breathed cinnamon
?? Now I like this poem, but for the life of me I cannot see how that line is first rate. A bald head inhaling spice? I don't get it.

This reminds me of a Beatles tune, the name of which escapes me at the moment. The format made it a bit hard to read but It does evoke the feeling of drifting softly down beneath the sea. nice! 7/10
