I could totally see you pushing the almost surreal nature of that owl a bit more or -as jim mentioned- perhaps it is begging to be a story?

The “cemetery” one is one I should try to revise. It was previously published though in this form so hmmm

I was actually even more thinking that this might be great in sections like part 1 part 2 or even played with as a list poem? Such great detail. You had me from prom and storms :)

Than you so much for commenting on the individual poems. I want to get back to those haikus and I particularly want to do something with dread. Stallone in a poem is a rare gift :)

Have you ever played with cento? It is essentially a more complicated found poem. You made my day with this :) I think you are totally qualified – as one of my readers – to help me consider those poems. But I think what you say is true – sometimes I just grow bored of a work: published or not.

Sorry….I must have cut off too much myself…I was complimenting.
Long, plain sounding, drawn-out, and predictable are not what I want….
don’t do that!
