Black coffee in a handled bowl, morning paper still warm from the press, under the umbrella by the door, waiting for my morning flower show. Seven fifteen and Venus is stepping off her shell, shaking off the sea foam and searching for her keys to unlock the flower shop and put every petal and blossom to shame. Goddess of flowers, they bend and twine to her will and smell sweeter for her touch. In her shop, "May I help you," she says, and I am helpless. It is impossible. to take a flower from her hand and give it to another woman. Type II poet. Its worth the work. |

I noticed that there is some sort of rhyme in it but it is not apparent. I don't know, it might just be how I'm reading it. But I really like that unobvious rhyme. Not only that, but I thought the piece was genius. You're a great storyteller; and that's hard to find in poetry today. Well done sir. "Well I wish that you would cheat with someone, 'cause you're like diggin' holes in water and we know that can't be done." |

That would be assonance, Ed Grim. Bronzeage? I really like this, and I'd like to learn how to do it, too. It's lovely and not overwhelming at all. Much appreciated the share. |

You referenced this in an email and I'm sorry I haven't read it until now. This really kicks. Very well constructed AND no unneccesary clutter. Very well done my friend. Dane |
