In the hushing silence... (Other) by <{Baba^Yaga}>
A gnarled lemon tree and gardenias. The hammock swing toward soft warm rays. Fire ants and jealous lovers sting. Calomine lotion days meant for portable radios. One boy being pushed at merry go round. Another at a chain link fence waiting. Japanese beatles jarred up smell musky. So I let myself let them go. Alligator lizards and black widows for study. A soccer ball pounds the side of a house. Off in the distance. In the hushing silence.

Up the ladder: (Untitled)

Yeah, because there are different ways to do them, and I wouldn't want you to go to k before a. Have fun with a new structure for a change. Nentwined will be forced to add them to the list of structures soon.

Thanks. Encarta is worthless on poetic details. I dug up some stuff on the net. the info was way over my head and the poems were written in english lettered arabic sooooo. With all due respect, I'm gonna finish tryin' to monkey proper with the villanelle, first.
