You have a real knack for putting words/images together that don’t naturally come together and creating an original, surreal, and at times surprising ‘blend’ of descriptions e.g. ‘black climate’ ‘savory tear’ etc. Once again, a poem that needs a lot of mulling over (smile). I’ve printed it off to keep re-reading and absorbing its mysteries…CathMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14143141734424055810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3178437599315653605.post-29352822866315962322009-07-06T04:04:07.031-07:002009-07-06T04:04:07.031-07:00You are a Picasso of the word.

Brilliantly sublime.<br /><br />The last lines of your poems often helps me to understand the content better:<br /><br />"living a half-step beneath the melody of shrubbery,<br />your rough napkins could not rub away the rouge"<br /><br />You are a master of riddles, jazzy salty stanzas, poignant reddish tones. <br /><br />Bravo! :)Jenny https://www.blogger.com/profile/17128326064445770505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3178437599315653605.post-2760919708722799562009-07-05T15:53:11.154-07:002009-07-05T15:53:11.154-07:00Capture the moment in time...hold onto that moment...Capture the moment in time...hold onto that moment, it's the one thing worth fighting for.dark wingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11578017573561438355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3178437599315653605.post-17332909683796633992009-07-05T14:57:07.521-07:002009-07-05T14:57:07.521-07:00All I want is a kiss and a baguette under the Eiff...All I want is a kiss and a baguette under the Eiffel Tower... is that so wrong?Wendileahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08434441854457931445noreply@blogger.com
