Cyclamatic ? Wow. There's a word. Say, is it just me, or do I rely way too much on images to do my speaking for me?

This is really good Skamper. Not sure about that -maybe-.

thanks again...your input is appreciated and I dropped the 'maybe' don't know why I added it, cos there's no maybe about it.

relying way too much on images to speak for you - isn't that what we do, draw the image in words?

This reminds me of one I wrote where a woman gives back an engagement ring. And his rib.

Great stuff skamper--the first stanza really sets the tone for the rest of the poem. Nice work.
