as of yet

In my tree with Natalie
spying on bags packed
and promises broken
I climb a ladder
of stolen pens
and paper scrapped
for inspiration
scrubbing free the
yesterdays
i revel in you
as eraser dust
blown away
nothing more now
than shadowed smudges
on weathered parchment

  3. i'm really not qualified to critique anything. i'm a 'like it'or 'don't like it' kind of girl, having had the misfortune of once majoring in English Literature and henceforth the joy sucked right out of 'examining' poetry in any way....

    i can talk to you about it on an intuitive level...if that holds any value for you.

    fwiw -- i like it. ;)

    you know where to find me...
