| Posted by Karl Waldbauer on 05/01/06 at 02:19 AM This is hauntingly delicious, Anne. Excellent ending...you've inspired me to deal with an "ex" in a way he would never expect, but surely understand. Thanks! |
| Posted by Julie Adams on 05/01/06 at 06:04 PM I love this piece, and how you stayed with the metaphor, while not allowing it to overcome what was being said...loved: "nothing more than a dream/ on the verge of turning into a nightmare"...this rings so true in so many instances...thanks for sharing another poem...always a pleasure to read you...peace, *jewels* |

| Posted by Steven Kenworthy on 05/02/06 at 03:28 AM i know people who have this effect on me. one imparticular. so intensely gut-wrenching to think about how much power someone can have over you even if you know it's not for the best. the onion comparison is brilliant as we are all textured with more layers than we could even imagine. so good anne. |
| Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 05/03/06 at 06:31 PM Maria steered me over here. As I said there, a romantic culinary deight. Well done Anne! |
| Posted by JD Clay on 05/04/06 at 02:35 AM This is more than a collaboration over an onion - it’s a melding of the minds sans the peel. A philosophical communion that preempts thought altogether. Mental salad. Twin-sisters from another life! Very impressive!
Let me go on record with a shot at who’s who. Anne penned the odd stanzas & Maria penned the even.
pe4ce...
