I could feel your ribs
they were short and strong
and I asked them questions gently
they refused to answer
as you gritted your teeth

I could feel your ribs
they writhed, but only a little
as you gritted your teeth
before letting out a laugh
you never had me fooled
I could see the ticklish
in the green swirling
universe of your eyes

I like this because you share in a way that is unique to you. It's hard to describe, but I love your poetry.

And ... get some sleep so you won't be tired as blank!

I think your second verse was perfect on its own~~

Good stuff here, Paul.  I can see your development in each piece.  You are one of the poets on this forum that I look forward to reading.
Well done.

I have to agree with Maureen, your second stanza could have stood on its own, and told the entire story, which I loved!

Jim, thanks very much. Those are encouraging words. Uncommonly kind, you are, sir.

Suthern, thank you for reading. I am glad you liked it!

Mysteria, I am beginning to agree with you both more and more. Thanks for reading!


The support I get from the 5-10 people that always read is mountainous. You keep me writing.

...you will probably always have a poem tucked between your fingers in the grip of a pen or the stroke of a keyboard, but I like especially that this one came to life between ribs.     Green universes...sounds like love to me!

viking_metal - I like this writing a lot, as it says what is says, and that is 'where be those ribs'...

Although the second stanza is strong enough to stand on its own, I so much love these lines in the first one:

"and I asked them questions gently
they refused to answer"

The anticipation before the tickle LOL
