I hate you and your little dog too.
Good grief, I should have known.

I would suggest a different more assertive user name such as Cyclopsis, or The Maskallero, or for braver sorts THE ADVENTUREs' OF ROCK HARD CORN BREAD or Sir Sherbert.

impressive work 10.
Hilarious, how about 'waves 3' in surround sound?
Jeremi told me I was a lesbian. He knows so much about these things. And in response to the second stanza, do you know how fucking hard it is to find a place right now?? This girl wanted me to live in her living room, now she's moving out. Sweet Jesu, sweet Jesu Glace cut in chunks and whipped into Calvanist roulade filling, this is frustrating.
Hi, my name is Rich and I find Rob Lowe incredibly sexy (Hi Rich)
I like the use of rhyme.
It wobbles for significance, and almost saves itself actually.
well that and he lost his canoe on the day we all rue. the day of toupee. Let us pray, shall weigh.
i like this very much, pig. some lovely moments, here.
favorites:
its immortalized syntax
fragrant colors are riot
And all I can say, in predictable cliche,
Is, God, how much I love you
topaz clouds,
damasking heaven's constant eye [oops--you need an apostrophe in heaven's]
emblazoned in appropriate Catholicism
the only part i am so/so on is "For you are inscribed on my soul." agh. whenever someone brings up 'soul' in a love and loss poem, it sounds cliched. unless handled with delicate mastery. i dare not do it myself for another 3 decades. think of all that i must learn and unlearn before i turn that phrase! and besides, you deftly dispensed with cliche in the preceding stanzas. so, what can you do about it?
i don't know.
beautiful work, pig.
poop?
Any thoughts Ms Z?
I am taking your advice and I thank you for your careful eye.
Love it!
[you speak of her in both second and 3rd person--in this edit, I made it all 2nd, as she is so very near, still.] witness, the z edit:
Salt falls on veneer
Veiled in pauperâs wood,
The clock-watching chaplain sweats
As I refuse to leave you.
Staring at your headstone,
Looking at its immortalized syntax
Chosen at random by your rushed mother
Who coped when I faltered.
Itâs quiet here, and
fragrant colors are riot near.
At least youâre under the willow
You liked the thought of it weeping above you
And all I can say, in predictable cliche,
Is, God, how much I love you.
I stare
at the topaz clouds,
damasking heavens constant eye,
Wondering as I'm watching you
If you are watching I.
For now, I want to believe--
People always do, when they grieve.
Your epitaph,
emblazoned in appropriate Catholicism:
Words describing an everyman.
It doesnât matter to me,
For you are inscribed on my soul.
your word selection always intrigues, 'syntax' and 'appropriate catholicism' are particularly effective in conveying how detached ritual is from death.
