The second stanza here totally bowls me over--and the entire poem reverberates with the intensity of its inner logic.hedgewitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13090696134322515899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3107838361391025851.post-26747710383056220502012-09-14T10:03:25.495-04:002012-09-14T10:03:25.495-04:00How incredibly hot and gorgeous this is!How incredibly hot and gorgeous this is!Maude Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03669688074743095866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3107838361391025851.post-55034238963685894892012-09-14T09:46:31.485-04:002012-09-14T09:46:31.485-04:00Yeah, you really turned this in an unexpected dire...Yeah, you really turned this in an unexpected direction halfway through. I thought you were talking TO Tanya, not that she was actually the meaning of life.<br /><br />"Do not believe in your own wits,<br />Or that yours are sharper, somehow, than others'.<br />Once, you believed that lost teeth were boughten by fairies" ... I like this. Good advice. And fairies are always a nice touch.<br /><br />"Take my advice--<br />Sell everything,<br />Compromise everything,<br />Forget position, principles, pride--What good do they do you?" ... You make it sound like our "good" is the only thing that matters. :) That is why poetry is not the real world. But boy do I love this poem and all the freedom and "throw caution to the wind" -ness it represents. Another amazing piece, Shay. I can just feel the urgency and longing in those last couple of stanzas, as if you are actually Tanya speaking in the third person.
