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 _________________________________ Bad Habits.

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! A |

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. Jim "We are stardust: we are golden: and we've got to get ourselves back to the garden." --Joni Mitchell "Woodstock" |

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. ![]() The support I get from the 5-10 people that always read is mountainous. You keep me writing. Paul I love my dog, and my truck.

...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. ![]() Karen |

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 |
