Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Fantastic. Love it. The lines that especially work for me are: Love abounds in every sphere; Everything bursts with its sweetness, and the absolutely perfect ending (your ending was perfect. I live for endings like those). Dropping petals on the floor, And I can??t help but crush them. I was actually counting your syllables on your sixth line--very well done. Finally, let me share with you a poem this reminded me of. I don't know if you've read anything by Louise Gluck, but here is her poem "Mock Orange". It is not the moon, I tell you. It is these flowers lighting the yard. I hate them. I hate them as I hate sex, the man's mouth sealing my mouth, the man's paralyzing body-- and the cry that always escapes, the low, humiliating premise of union-- In my mind tonight I hear the question and pursuing answer fused in one sound that mounts and mounts and then is split into the old selves, the tired antagonisms. Do you see? We were made fools of. And the scent of mock orange drifts through the window. How can I rest? How can I be content while there is still that odor in the world? --Louise Gluck Edit: (oh, and as an aside, I have hard time believing the refrain) |
