Description long did I hope
you’d learn to
love me

but as my bones
sift into dust,
I finally see

some things
cannot be
taught

Wow, just wow. I love it, it really resonates with me, absolutely amazing. Short but really captures it! Love your poetry (missed it too while I've been buried under school work!).

Excellent!

I'm actually doing extremely well, Cindy. Everything about this semester is smooth sailing except for my parents, and I'm learning how to get away from that.

That's wonderful. I'm so glad life is good. I'm sorry about your folks. Having a few domineering/manipulative people in my family, I know how that can be. That you've learned to sidestep some of that drama so early is magnificent. Took me years...

tamabald [2009-04-09 12:08:26 +0000 UTC]

strong impact is something that by my opinion tends to drown in too many words, which is why i'm glad you decided to cut it. this way it cuts to the core perfectly. brilliant poetry!

a rueful economy.

"ridiculous the waste sad time
stretching before and after"

as Tom Eliot said.

Blueskye27 In reply to AlecBell [2009-04-09 11:48:50 +0000 UTC]

I started this poem several days ago and couldn't get it to work. It came to me last night to employ that economy, so I cut it by half and ended up with this.
