but february made me shiver.
with every paper i'd deliver.
and, if you sart it out, "Dear March, " don't you need to end it, "Love, X"?
And, Sal, do not get sucked in by the promises of March, or even those of April. Wait for My. An d then, slow everythng down until you can hear the grass bending. I t still might snow in May; I have seen it.
bring thisone around.

"Skeletal flotsam - uncollected soul;"
fix these sounds please. take the clicks out. the oceans doesn't click. not even bones click, in the ocean. the notion is great and i like the words together, but save them for another poem.
the jarring rhythm works in 13 but keep it for 14 as well, SVP.

i think you can do better than to mix the quaintness of the inversions with straight subject/verb/object.

i have to go to a work-related activity right now, but i will be back. richa--think metaphors for nature. think parallel structures. think 'as above, so below' and all that that implies, structurally.

is it me, or is this shaped like the midsection of a man with a semi-flaccid erection?

hey sal,
i like the feeling of this--it's escapist, and that really suits it.
it's in your short lines where this weakens:
to hear you sing.
and
None of them real.
i find myself wanting the same beat in these two, because the rest of it has a lovely sing-songiness to it.
the same with the ending--
look-and-feel.
and
sing for me.
as i was reading it, i filled in the last line before i read it with 'make me real' instead of 'sing for me.' tht's what i want, but damn it's so cliche. there, now you have it--i'm a closet cliche-ist.
i can see her eyes. funny, that. i don't remember her singing but i remember her smoking, and that dress.
nice
