I liked this. Well written.

But on the other hand homo sapiens is not an asexual creature and therefore...

Sounds like most any job I've ever had. Well writ.

Climbing up my naked leg,
this intrepid ant should be
squashed flat for his temerity.
My hand is poised above the brake of hair
in which the struggling pilgrim tickles me.
Ignorance has surely led him there,
which must explain why I still hesitate
to end his foolish trek--
as hopeless as my own.

This is real. Very well written as I had to keep reading all the way to the end. I respect you for your restraint in not having one of the other theater goers straggle her. Your restraint is what made it real for me.

Gave me a smile. I don't tell people I write poetry unless they are really GOOD friends!

Curiosity can be an uncomfortable emotion and the "too-long fall" opens the door to a whole new story that you do not tell. I hate to hear about a man's life cut short before he really had a chance to live. We all have to die, but why did he die so soon? Was he pushed or did he jump? Guess I'll neve...

This one got to me. Reminded me of the Book of Ecclesiastes somehow. Liked the "ants in your lap"--nice touch. Good write.

The trees conspire in company to cut the power to our house for there is something in the woods that hates electric wire and trees have reason, certainly to fear the reach of our desire. The firs that circle round our place seem confounded by the glare. Our floodlights float a misty scrim that dulls...

I like this shade of yellow. I enjoyed meeting these people if only for a moment and the poem made me remember things. Great write.

As I live above water, I felt a bit of rejection here. Almost made me cry.

That's telling them! At first I thought it was a bit too self-conscious, but it's so damn well written you get away with it. Wonderful polemic as it says all the right things with energy and style. The only phrase that stopped my eye was "military service" and I have no idea why. I thought "my enlis...

I liked this poem. It kept me reading to the end because you weave a good story and there were many interesting historical references. I would have written it differently in certain places, but I'm only thinking of style changes that would make it my poem instead of yours so I would not bore you wit...
