I scream against the silence
of the meaning that lies...
wrestling wrists
odd veins on head
pulsing purple pounding pies
pressing lovely line of edge
typing some
perversity
a morse code
of what*used*t*be*
and tossing logic to the gods...

*sample*
flicker-tongue
I burn--
I press a thumb--
I press my yearn
I flute the edges
that I walk
pronouncing hedges
that I talk
of sure
alone's disparity
each finger's print
announcing me...

bubbling in surety--
I am sidewalk--
etched in chalk...
I am a wedding
cake--
enthroned--
a tower--
Babel-ing--
disowned.

ACK!

when you write like this, I'm left wondering,
do I even exist?

perhaps only in my mind....

You are amazing!
I think you see around corners, just so you can find yourself before you get there.

I was so afraid that if I came in here it would be fattening...maybe of the mind. Love the section about the fluting of the edges. The weaving of rhyme in and out of the metaphors is so much fun because of the sounds. And thing this does to the brain is something. A fun read.

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

"I am a wedding

Babel-ing

Very effective metaphor.

"Babel-ing"---brilliant!

P.S. Your title caught my eye---"Peach Cobbler" ----I'm hungry because I haven't had anything to eat yet (just a sandwich---but that doesn't count--does it? hehe)

You may not have fed me with food, but you fed me with your words! Thanx!

============================

what you are is a recipe for poetry...a lesson in rhyme.
Look at you serving us metaphor verse for dessert...
very clever and creative write me twin.
Ditto what Martie said

In the space between now and then
I lost the fire, lost a friend
and Ill never be the same again
Still, I believe in the innocence
we gave away.

It's true...sometimes I don't even know where I'm going when I write---sigh...

:kiss" to all...I DO love this place...yer all so lovely!
