I really like this. I love the way you sustain the double meaning throughout. allowing both to signify and develop. It's wonderfully sensual and suggestive and vibrant despite its qualifiying admonition...BRgds.,Alan.

Thanks Alan.....this was a revision of an older poem......I was trying a different voice within the poem.......Kat

Kat, I love the voice you're using in this. It has a raw trickiness that makes me feel like I'm on a roller coaster. Slick and well written...C

I give it a thumbs up, I reckon you could probably bonesaw some of the cliches if you wanted to and still keep a good piece mind ;p

here's a twist on Neruda's "I love you and I do not love you" (sonnet XLIV)... I like your edge, the lovely bite and rawness you have here.
I agree with ziggy about the cliches, still it's brilliant the way it is. "when your ego grows/ big and hard" .. love it!

I just wanted to add that I like what you have done here. The double meaning playing through out. I like the first two lines and then how you ended the poem using line one.



thanks everyone......cliches



nothing to add as valuable feedback except to say I love it's edge, very appealing to me.

This is sad and true and beautiful.
Sometimes I wonder if men and women really suit each other. Perhaps they should live next door and just visit now and then.
