I read the feedback on Fray and part of me wants to write a fullblown explication of the poem--but another part of me wonders if I've got it all wrong. Because I see a whole lot more than sweetness and love in that poem. In fact, I don't think it's a love poem at all.<BR/><BR/>Am I wrong?LKDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02171027823523187126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8487146.post-1115317002189383612005-05-05T13:16:00.001-05:002005-05-05T13:16:00.001-05:00Thanks, too, Steve.Thanks, too, Steve.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05607786046959671496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8487146.post-1115316983205520852005-05-05T13:16:00.000-05:002005-05-05T13:16:00.000-05:00Hi Ruth!

(Actually, it's where they host the Doonesbury site, but still, I read it when I can.) <BR/><BR/>Anyway, read your poem and followed it here. I'm going to get ahold of your book and spend some quality time with it under a tree or propped against a cafe table in the sun. Think of me doing this and take great pride in your life. <BR/><BR/>If you want to know more about me, check out www.wyw5.blogspot.com - that's my little slice of the 'sphere.<BR/><BR/>Peace, poetry, morphemes and more to you sir, <BR/><BR/>steveStefushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07662275997035354438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8487146.post-1115262365504482142005-05-04T22:06:00.000-05:002005-05-04T22:06:00.000-05:00hi paul,what do you call a fellow poet of the pres...hi paul,<BR/><BR/>what do you call a fellow poet of the press...press bretheren, press brother, press mate, press monkey, press the button...<BR/><BR/>i'm just figuring out this little blog thing. i've hopped by oliver de la paz's site (my pal) and a few others...i've figured out that link list so i'm going to add you to it, okay?<BR/><BR/>press cousin, press cuz, press-idente, im-pressive you are...<BR/><BR/>oh...and p.s. before you hit our press my pal adrian matejka boasted your mad talent much...<BR/><BR/>press-ent tense includedpoet-scholar-professor-typehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11892034134489818540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8487146.post-1115235950176488072005-05-04T14:45:00.000-05:002005-05-04T14:45:00.000-05:00You paint a beautiful picture with you words.You paint a beautiful picture with you words.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
