[louder and with more feeling]
The dissatisfaction Rolls on the tongue Like the lingering word Reciprocity. My imagery, <I> heard him say, My imagery of you is me. When mirrors start laughing You know you’ve cracked, Repeating yourself After seven years bad luck. My childhood of <write>rs block, Knock <three times> if it’s you Such naïve little birds Are the ones that hit windows, So now I’m looking out- But here Stop to look back, Read <a>loud seems softer Than the words that happen When you don’t speak. So speak to me, Read me aloud and I’ll speak to you… Not here, not now though, But some<day> I promise I’ll talk to you. |

| Very tricky. I like how you added that little message in the poem. "Such naïve little birds Are the ones that hit windows," That is my favorite part. I am not sure why all I know is that I love it. I love all of your work as I believe I must have said before. This was very intersting and I enjoyed reading it. | Posted on 2005-05-11 00:00:00 | by Cigarette Smoke | [ Reply to This ] | Yet again, I'm really impressed with this. | I really like it, and there are some wonderful little turns of phrase in there too. That first stanza really knocks your socks off, and the whole thing has a very edgy, contemporary feel to it that I'm really fond of. The line: "When mirrors start laughing You know you’ve cracked" Is one of those really sharp, witty things that's going to stay with me for days. Read with a smirk on the lips. The only thing I'd say is that the line: "Read <a>loud seems softer" is seriously confusing in it's meaning, and I'm not sure I get the point of it. Maybe, if I'm interpreting you right, it would be a little clearer written: "Read <a>aloud, it seems softer" Or maybe that's just me. Also, I don't know what the point is of the sentance spelled out in <>'s. I mean, sure I know what it says, but I'm not sure I understand why. To me it doesn't seem necessary, although maybe that's just because there's something I'm missing here. Either way, it gave me a really good read at this ungodly hour of the morning and I really enjoyed it. Nice going.
