How many of them were dismissed? Cut out hearts and romances a string too taut and violins weep and salt the wine. I heard her in your silences. I felt her in your pauses, curse me as if I were your work plaguing you at home again. How many times will you do this? As many times as corks will bounce. I think you've got a nibble-kiss.... I think reality has found you in desperation sound captured in these absences fraught-fetched and tangled lines as heavy-laden keep. A ring you'd like to wish away and laughter from me makes you say things you thought were kindnesses oh-but-I-just-can't-do this so cut the test and Judas-ist posturing with your false kiss betrayal is your own, I say. Tomorrow is another grave... beckoning my bones. I'll leave you with your rope. |

What do you mean "this is so bad..." I have a question if you want to answer. Are you a teacher? Rileigh |

The Serene One is baaaack! Hi, Karen! Your closing line was a doozy of a humdinger! It is what I have decided to do with someone whose bitter, negative energy is extremely draining. I'm worn out from trying to help this individual. "I'll leave you with your rope."   Linda |

cross? I'm not even a proper student, much less a teacher. And in case anyone is wondering-- Inspiration? FACEBOOK. My head still hurts...I can have a public forum spat with my husband, and I would think that's all the damned lotharios would need to know. But nope, "got pics?" criminy!  |

Well, dear Karen, your last line fits the whole just so perfectly. This will stay with me for a while, hopefully enough long to not induce me to feel guilty for any of his reactions. Great job, thank you! Love, Margherita |

Actually, the only thing I like about this is the last three lines... but my it is good to see my old friends again. And I had told myself I'd play those mindless games over there until I quit thinking in poetry. After reading this, I think I've succeeded. *laughing* ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh my...  I <3 my pipfriends. And oh my Helen, even a little princess crown is too heavy for my head. But I love you. |

Karen..." I'll leave you with your rope" Enough to hang himself with I presume. Regardless of what you might think, I think this is a great write...Paul ~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~ |

About the only poetic lack you have is judgment of your own work. *S* I was appreciating the whispered screams of frustration, blown away by the ending... then your response that it's bad??? One of us is missin' sumpin', lady... and it ain't me! LOL |
