| Posted by Elizabeth Jill on 11/20/08 at 12:26 AM With all due understatement, Miss Kristina, I can always count on your poetry to glisten my mind. This sparkles with treasured inuendo. I am curious if I've guessed correctly that this poem is, in part, inspired by the current pirate situation in the news? |
| Posted by Quentin S Clingerman on 11/20/08 at 02:50 AM You bring pirateering up-to-date and compare it very insightfully to what has happened--is happening--in all too many businesses. (We've lost our moral compass in this nation as it has been lost in so much of the world. Globalization?) |

| Posted by Glenn Currier on 11/23/08 at 06:25 AM Insightful piece. I especially like this: "looting on land inside rooms at the top." What is needed is just as much creativity in how to prevent amokness as in where to invest the profits. Clever and thought-provoking piece, Kristina. |
| Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 12/08/08 at 05:41 PM For me, this poem works wonderfully in two ways. In metaphor for what's happening in the USA with the financial meltdown and auto giants near failure. But also on a concrete level, as a scene perhaps from Pirates Of The Carribean. Yo! ho! ho! I picture Johnny Depp at the wheel. |
