Has a nice sensual edge to it, in that it suggests the visceral nature of words... very cool! ;)Rob Kistnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11365982588165098990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35391385.post-84382014153040519182008-04-19T13:14:00.000-05:002008-04-19T13:14:00.000-05:00love your unique style ww, yourpoems are like have...love your unique style ww, your<BR/>poems are like have words brushed<BR/>across the psyche, i get the<BR/>feel, that i know well, of words,<BR/>poems as the ultimate lover.Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10598169309616545734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35391385.post-23596652386419195622008-04-02T18:17:00.000-05:002008-04-02T18:17:00.000-05:00I like how the poem progresses from "bathe" in the...I like how the poem progresses from "bathe" in the first line to "drown" in the last. Also thought that "stealing double portions of this life" was a powerful metaphor.

I had been so long away from the blogging world and then too, blogging only sporadically.<BR/>I hope all your novel-writing is going on in a super fashion.<BR/>And I so love this poem.<BR/>It reminds me distinctly of an Alfred Hitchcock thriller.
