~I wrote this in honor of the women that share their pain on paper so well they are often hard for me to read~

Ladies
With their midnight inks
Urn their emotions
In sacred places
Set like traps
On paper
Their baited lines
Fish me in
To their pathos
Picking my lock
Memories
Repressed release
Too pointed
Too poignant
Too, too intuitive
Tentatively
I taste
Their manna

Wish I could write like Michael. Some have it, some don't.

I'm glad you don't Jerry, I can read you any day of the week even when your poems make me cry. Your poetry makes me feel bad for you at times but it doesn't remind me how bad I feel about me.

I've known a few women who can bait me in with their lines, even though I can sense it won't end well... though I of course could never know how that feels from the perspective of a woman. Your sensitivity sets you apart, Lori.

Glad you liked the poem. Rather odd writing a poem to honor the writing of people you can hardly stand to read. LOL!
Yes I am sensitive...I cry at cartoons... it is embarrassing.

Bait? Hmmm... The Sunshine Gospel Poetry 101 according to Karilea: 1)The Title is Bait! (I gotta trick people into reading me.)
