I read some of your poetry and must say, I might just start stalking you . . .

Wow...thank you so very much...you not only read but you inquired and really left your thoughts behind. So for that I cannot thank you enough.
Ok...so the Q'n'A... Why was the silence naked? I wrote it that way for the simple fact that some silence can be so deafening it leaves you feeling naked and raw. Did you purposely choose crater like over crater-like? Yes, for no more of a reason then the fact that I wanted separation, as that was what I was feeling between us. Is there a reason the only "I," used as a personal pronoun, that you capitalized is the start of the second stanza? Only that at that very moment I felt like a fool...feeling like I had the wool over my eyes and I'm big time allergic...for the rest of the poem I felt small and wasted and that one line was my empowerment. I'm happy to have someone take the time to really read and understand and ask... THANK YOU. Kelly |

It's a complicated feeling in the poem. I didn't want to make it easy for people. PArt of it is to let them just read it and experience it as a happening. A moment... an instant of real life and make them think about it. About life and eros and thanatos.

I wasn't trying to make them terribly noticeable rhymes. ;) Sonnets are old hat for me and I've learned to enjamb them so the rhymes aren't harsh.
