And I&...I loved the line Hedgewitch quoted as well. And I've pulled so many hairs out of my head over your poetry that I'm now as bald as Rush Limbaugh's butt will be as soon as I'm done ripping it up over his stupidity. (Yes, his bust is now--I believe--in a place where other honored Missourians are on display in our state capitol. AND they--a coincidence?--just installed a security camera in hall where the bust is. There have been busts there for years. Why now the need for extra eyes watching?)<br /><br />Oh, sorry. Let me wipe the spittle from my chin. Great poem, as always, Shay. You're the most mercurial writer I've ever encountered. Different tones. Different forms. Different rhythms.

What a great tag...."pretty stupidity" ... What a great tag. :) I should use that instead of "humor" on mine.<br /><br />I love black jaguars. You can't get much sexier than that. They're dangerous, sleek, and untouchable.<br /><br />Love this:<br />"Jaguar black<br />Is the rain-beat pulse"<br /><br />"At my wrist,<br />At my throat" ... Mmmm, your most vulnerable places. If sliced just right, they'll bleed you dry.<br /><br />Body can be the worst kind of cage.<br /><br />"sandalwood incense" ... Yum.<br /><br />"I would move through the stars like silver grasses" ... My favorite line.<br /><br />"Whose canopy carries my almost-human cry" ... So heavy and sad, the canopy is probably breaking from the weight.<br /><br />You've effectively conveyed a deep hopelessness. Now I feel like I need to have a good cry. ;)<br /><br />rosemarymint.wordpress.com✿https://www.blogger.com/profile/01044032159371976375noreply@blogger.com
