Beside myself I snub away my wanting it pleads yes then no then yes again like a plundering wave palindromos only the mirror-glass has meaning here and I wait for silvered answers off reflected sea but the sea the sea is turbulant it unfolds and releases yes then no then yes again I’m unable to grasp its inattentive pull its sandy institution that one infinitesimal existence which lies loose eastward crying yes then no then yes again and at the end of this land in the wailing of gulls in the fresh-smell of pacific I swallow the sky again |

Cirrus There is much emotion and longing in this...I could feel it while reading...painting a picture of the currents inside with a great metaphor of the ocean. Well done! Welcome to Passions!!!! |

yes then no then yes again... this was like one of those deceptively simple rides, that swing you back and forth and back again...please take this as compliment--it almost gave me "gas"-- this is one of those poems that hits like music...affected me on a different level.. it made me feel PHYSICALLY--SEA-SICK AWESOME. |

Well. I know you know. The writing, the pacific reference..yup I know AOL - good company no? I have the hopes of crossing the pacific with words still. The pacific is very wide however isn't it. Do you know that certain parts of it..have orange sand? A fine piece of writing cirrus- and you must explain the meaning of that name to me... will look for more indeed.

M much better 6th draft, onto the 7th .....lol - nope seriously, glad you chucked the "gills". "palindromos" was inspired! lose the "again", and i still think the definite article before "sky" is unecessary. otherwise much improved.....much impressed! F PS i meant the final "again" of course PPS you have a bootiful heart btw F, aka cardiac consultant extra ordinaire [This message has been edited by furlong (06-04-2002 05:47 AM).] |
