LadyH Nice contrast between the violent fluttering at the beginning and the serene girl at the end. |

5, Starting with the word "backyards" is great. Soaks you right in. It reminded me of a Dylan Thomas poem. |

Very short. I'm still trying to figure out writing song lyrics. Bear with me. You could maybe even hum along with this one. I hate the ending. |

Please excuse the morbid subject. I certainly do not want to offend anyone, nor am I reflecting any of my own suicidal thoughts... |

Bravo bhughes! I applaud the morbid diatribe. SO so succint and pointed. Love it!! (Yeah, you can all say it now) |

morshy: Great, great, great. Almost sounds like a poem you would read to a child, but not of course. It has that rythmic quality of sing song. |

Please treat this gently or not for I am a story teller and not quite the poet. This is just another one that popped out and wrote itself. (Hey, I heard that!) Enjoy. |

pfff... unfair of me to leave this looking like only Dragon's affected me --this odd little word list with the unusual strictures is eliciting really remarkable work from every single one. Rather than do the dissecting myself (well, out loud, that is), I'm sooooo content to let the reliably clear thinking 'five' lay 'em out in summary! |

Morshy and bhughes. By adding just a few words to the list, you came out with good prose. |

giraffe I very much liked your poem/song. I did like the revised ending better. |

5, It took quite a few reads of your poem to get something out of it. What I got is probably different from anyone else's interpretation, but it was fun. I got sing-songiness of childhood progressing through adolescence to adulthood and having to face consequences. |

Dragon: "To crush a beetle". Great comentary and currently relevant also. We are all just beetles who need squashed for our wastefulness of our natural resources and our insatiable thirst for more, more, more. I'd better turn off this computer so the "elements" don't get me! lol. |
