In a corporeal internship...

0 posted 2001-07-18 08:56 AM


(Now that I've posted most of my older poetry and lyrics, I'm ready to dive into some fresh writing and thoughts.  Since my style tends to be lengthy and very strict form and rhyme, I'm going to try something a little different for me:  a new series of poems that I'll call "TWENTY OR LESS..." implying that each will consist of twenty or less words, in free-form style, with the intent of letting the words conjure up subjective impressions and definitions for my readers -- let the previous boundaries of style and form evaporate, for a while, and let's see what your impressions are...  Enjoy!  -MVS)
========================================


Her sweeping beauty
Beckons desire
Love knowingly mocks her
His struggle is her will
This man is beneath her

And how many ways of interpretation will this take? Several, I believe, and I myself will appreciate them all...

well done, Mark!

yes.. a bit more complex in structure this one begs several meanings..layered in onion fashion one over the other perhaps...

nice piece Mark...

Hm, I like the image it produces for me. Though I suspect thats not the entirely correct thought for this. I see strength to be who you want to be, and to fulfill your life thusly.

My Lady:  the more you polish--the more it shines!  

Ron -- every layer has its purpose as does the peeling of each one...  

Sandra...  there is no "correct" -- there is only a reflection of self at a specific moment in time.  I like your reflection.
