Flame me not on the lone prairie
As I offer a flower for you to see,
Or a sunset,
Or bassinette,
Or what ever about the poem will be.

But tell me that you see it
Or could be it
If there’s nothing physical described
But not just a diatribe,
Add some feeling to it

For that is what the poet meant
That why the words are just so bent,
Add some feeling to it.

Of late, conversationally topics flame,
the alley is roaring but still stays restrained,
Critique me on the lone prairie
Discuss the flowers in poetry
Let the sun slip around to rise again
As we take the view of a new day
Talking to those who need talking to along the way,
Politely
With Poetics

Gloom

Interesting response to the "current events." Well thought out and presented in a subtle, yet meaningful manner. And I hate to use the word "cute," but it applies at the same time, considering how amusing I find the whole subject.

I have never been much of a critic myself, and usually don't know what to say after I read a poem.

I always love to read you Gloom

Since I'm hardly ever around, I don't know what this is in reference to, but I don't care, I like it.  I like the way you said it, and I have always agreed with what you have said. You can critique form, and help people to say what they want to say better. But you should never criticize them. Just my two cents.

...well...I'm certainly am a sucker for the crisp and clever write...even when I don't understand it or know what it's about...I just think it was great to work the word basinette into the poem...   Seriously, it was an excellent write.

Very wise and intuitive. Amazingly the point/points you made were so poetic that even if it had been harsh, I couldn't have resisted reading it.
