Posted by Julie Adams on 07/11/08 at 04:55 AM what a intriguing piece, it lures you somewhat unwittingly to the shocking last two stanzas...I love how you expose, selectively and with purpose, rather than random crocodile tears forcing a moment...this piece pulls to mind tragedies like Oedipus, Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet, etc...even Freud...such power plays ring true and familiar...the haunting but unforgettable images fossilized in my overactive imagination—the goal of any poet I'd like to assume... a pleasure :) peace to u, jewels |
