Click hereThe lyrics never made any sense,
but I sang them anyway.
With tubetop and cut-offs
stretched tight over flat lands,
I sang loud the lament
“torn between two lovers
and feeling like a fool”
Soon after you convinced me
to touch tongues I knew we fit
together like the radio.
One day down in the woods you would not
look up from the thin strips of bark you peeled
from the green twig , I swore
“I never promised you a rose garden”
yet there they were,
tight buds dropped in Robert Herrick’s basket.

loved your description of peeling the bark from twigs, Your usual attention to detail is what draws me to love your work.

champagne1982almost 18 years agoI love the contemporary and historical literary references. This is a great read; full of humour and teasing. Thanks.
wildsweetonealmost 18 years agoThis one gives me food for thought and several hours of reading. There's more here than meets the eye and I like it, very much. The only thing I still need to figure out are the stanza breaks. I'll keep reading!
*hugs*

The Mystery Valiantalmost 18 years agoGood poem and nice images. But a little soft and lacked any rhythm that I could catch. It just wasn't poetic in a true sense. Almost seemed story-like. Good idea on the situation! Would like to see more texture to the flow and rhythm.
