so did he explode? if it ended all others...
perhaps too simple....
this is nice. i thought it was going to be some dorky sci-fi thing (which i probably would have liked, despite myself). something slow and creepy about these images.
when you were a kid, did you play pinata with hornet's nests? it seems that your goal is only to illicit a negative response. if that was your intention--you have found success.
I pity the fool that gives this a bad rating!

what is this, rkf? i understand minimalism, but this almost isn't there.
excellent. most excellent.
it almost meant something---
sounds like a kid i knew once. big mouth, bad teeth.
wow. incredible insight. and all this time I thout it was an art form, dealing with the purification and distillation of imagery and emotion.
that's the story of my life. very succinct. bravo.
Jesus Christ! An abudance of imaginative expression. It's difficult to leave you comments. I'm usually overwhelmed by your imagery and the accuracy of your observation. This one especially.
I understand the pain you have gone through in this poem hon... but rest assured, the one whom you seek, you shall find and happiness eternal, you shall roam free :o) Great Poem!!
There's a lot of detrius in the beginning of this; meaningless phrases. Perhaps your intended effect; but it shrouds the meaning you're heading for in the second half.
Not only a beautiful sentiment, but flawlessly executed as well.
One can admire the work without admiring the sentiment. A worthy lesson, at least.
WONDERFUL STUFF
I thought you said you chatted as fred but you were in fact Frass. How come bein'Vegan is here? hmmm...?
Good Poem, Keep it up (10)
I wonder how many stories about green fairies this poem has engendered.
