| Posted by Leslie Ann Eisenberg on 12/28/03 at 06:23 AM your lips are the parenthesis around
my expectations....your teeth to lure the blood to just beneath my skin.
....that line stopped my heart. i was done. the last line a blur to me. |
| Posted by Kalikala Smith on 12/28/03 at 07:21 AM wow, i don't know even know what to do with that imagery. i'm gasping for air and i'll let you know the outcome later. |
| Posted by Jon-Jacob F Deal on 12/28/03 at 02:35 PM Your poems are so... Visceral. I'm glad to see you're still posting here--weren't all your works moved to your personal site for a while? You seem a bit more up in your down-ness, somehow. I would say keep up the good work, but if you're like most poets I know, it's more of a compulsion than a choice, anyhow. |
| Posted by Rachelle Howe on 12/28/03 at 10:52 PM yes. biting, and so true. and it's all inside of us, lurking. yesyes. loveit. |
| Posted by Kristine Briese on 12/28/03 at 11:45 PM Very powerful images here, miss. I love it. |
| Posted by Michele Schottelkorb on 12/29/03 at 06:03 AM well, from icon to icon, intriguing dark verse from inspiration... blessings... |
| Posted by Don Coffman on 12/30/03 at 07:54 AM From an emoticon to a quite interesting poem; that's definitely good imagination. It's a nice mix of sensuality and disappointment with someone who's all talk. |
| Posted by Max Bouillet on 12/30/03 at 04:42 PM That must be one heck of an icon. Sensual with a dose of reality the brings the blood close to the surface of the reader. Excellent. |
| Posted by Tony Whitaker on 02/04/07 at 12:15 PM Wow, a just is just a kiss,
A sigh is just a sigh
As time goes by
But this poem
And the kiss
Lives on forever..
Going into my faves |
