See the Bitch! poem comment of using a title as a final tag line and ultimately a young cop out for a poem that would probably work better as a lyric.
ROBERT Bly is a goof.
even out here in the sticks, we know about john bly and his 'masterpiece'. i did not HAVE to post that page. i agree with you that the poem needs a little more framing. but i believe it captures the joy the guy was feeling. i was not arguing taht point; i was merely observing that you are, once again, cranky. you may not feel cranky, but it comes across that way in print. cranker. that point stands.
Iron John is a book by Robert Bly. The other point stands.
Nutty and impressive (in the way that it leaves an impression).
I like the unusual formatting.
On the downside, I feel like there is an oversimplification, or a misunderstanding someplace; just a feeling.
jeez you are cranky tonight. are you sure you're not holed up in a john?????
leave hatters hare alone--she has bushels of green tomatos and her pig farts when she gets into them! the things she has to contend with!!
Is this a poem or simply a collection of statements with a tag line at the end? I need to know.
The fact that Z has to send/post a picture of the event for the poem to really to take hold hurts the poem. Maybe you could give the reader just a bit more to make it make sense of what and why it (i.e. âNatureâ is being said. I am afraid that the name just doesnât cut it. Of course, I am sure hatterâs hare will disagree, but what does she know, she only drinks pilsner. I think we get that idea when we look at the picture, but alone I think the poem fails. Initially I was afraid you had holed up in the john with a tattered copy of âIron Johnâ.
Daring!!!!! Original!~!!! Super!!!!
Considering it is painfully obvious from your imagery that you have never hunted before and are relying of clichéd observations from your past and maybe the dictionary, the fact that you use it as the base metaphor for what you are trying to say is, how I should put this, ridiculous. Thanks for you time. Rally other than that it is quite lovely. And such original thinking.
enjoyable read, blessed with 9.
Quasi bombastic leave blower. And extra onions.
i'm horrible with titles. i usually just attach some name to it and go on with my day.
I know I'm a bane in the neck. Once I have "tooled up" a little better and gotten through some personal stuff, I will write better poetry. I assure you that hanging around the fives, while a great group as it is, is not my goal. I'm still learning patience. I ask nothing else from you.
bub?
unfallable.
