Leanne Hansonfrom Just west of the lounge room Associate, 3708 posts	on Apr. 7 2007 Tracey, I can't comment on Cocksure, you must have it locked. But I love the sound of the first stanza particularly, it has a great rhythm that works really well read aloud. I thought it fell a little flat in the second -- it just sounds like too much information telling too little of specifics, if that makes any sense at all. The last lines are, of course, priceless.
Paradiso, Tracey Associate, 1902 posts	inspired from Leanne on Apr. 7 2007 Leanne, thanks for the feedback on both poems. It's funny, I think I cut out the lines you liked best in the second version of "plastic bags" and I was very uncertain about doing it. Maybe I'll put it back in. And I'm sure I'll be revisiting the poem again (and again). I'll check out your advice regarding "Cocksure," too, when I have a bit more time. I'm supposed to be getting my home ready to entertain people tomorrow on Easter. Hard to do when you're the kind of person who's easily distracted by shiny objects. Thanks again!
