You would say that. You're Ed, you wrote it.
That's one of the best poems I've ever read!!
thanks - great minds think alike
Apparently geese play a large part in your life. In California you may be able to marry one.
brilliant, love you Bob.
For a first attempt, it looks like one of mine, but no where near as rude.
Yes, every man dreams of a clingy emotional wreck who is utterly obsessed with them and writes unbelievably swollen poetry about them.
"on a summers ablaze" doesn't make any sense. And this is not a villanelle. -No vote-
I disagree with hypatia. I find the rhymes here sublime, though pity/serendipity did feel rather like throwing myself at a full run into the back of a parked Dodge Dart.
If you were forced - let's say at gunpoint, or else by some crazed chef wielding a large rancid hamhock - anyway, I'm getting off topic: What I mean is, if you were forced by a hamhock-wielding maniac to identify yourself some other way than by your connection to Dave, could you? You should probably think about this question a lot more than you're going to.
This "getting into character" is one of the biggest appeals of this poetry thing - I do it too.

Lemme guess - red?
Excellent.
I find this comment especially funny, coming as it does from a 19 year old boy who spends most of his time pretending to be Catullus. You massively fail on yourself.
Beautiful.
And 'please' wouldn't go amiss either, we barmen appreciate good manners you know. Not that I am a barman, I'm just imagining what a barman might say. I actually work in an expensive cookware shop.
Ridiculous spelling of 'ridiculous'.
