Kris: The unspoken power and intensity of this piece is what caught my eye at first reading. On second reading I focused in on "On" and on third reading I focused in on the "the ...". Brilliant, simply brilliant. On the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh readings I wast rapt by the interaction of the words "On the ...". On my eighth, ninth, tenth and eleventh readings ... oh I just can't convert my thoughts to words.  Keep them coming, Kris. At least now you probably have enough inspiration to write about how much of a pain in the butt I can be. The dry spell will pass, I'm sure. You always have three moderators and philip to pick on, you know. Maybe you could try to write a double sestina or a villanelle. lol. Later.

firstly,thank u for reading my poem "hair matters"")here i am to return the flavour... at first i was searching for your poem...i couldn't believe that was all that was to it...then i realised that that was your poem and my 1st reaction was "Huh,what's warnhrt trying to say?" then,i read the title"dry spell" and the quote by T.S.Eliot and just thought this was so ingenious--who could have thought that one could write a poem about the lack of creative juices he is facing???your poem is simple but the subtlety behind it is beautiful....") |

Okay, you got me on this one. I was frantically waiting for you to repost or reedit what you've written and it took some of the other comments for it to sink in what you are doing. Enjoyed it (once I got the point).  Brad |
