Umm, make that spunk..lol..

Actually katray does have a meaning in native american-speak, I think..if memory serves, it's the first rainfall after the planting season...or something similar; I'll have to look it up again. I didn't know this until another blogger here many moons ago told me..

Re: CORNCRAKE

My hand trembles as I clutch the mouse Wiley. You know how it is these computers take over at times and we are only human. I have been watering the garden for an hour no rain at all only sprinklings, so I will have to look you guys up later. Thankyou for calling

Re: Sam

Perhaps Sam you should be like the man who said to every woman he met. 'I love you.'

He got his face slapped a few times, but he was very successful.

Re: and I remember when you fellin lovewith the robot character you were

Thank you Kabu I really love a bit of good criticism or explanation, we can always learn, I know nothing about about it either, but I like what you say yummy. Oh yes I remember, I am a faithless person, poor Dorothy.  I hope she is still on charge, what a woman

Re:

Thank you JFM I must print your comment off and study it against the verse. You are a very interesting person, even if you have got a bald spot, my hair still grows all over but I think is due to the fact that I was exposed to paraffin when I was a youth. One lady grumbled at me. "What gone up a halfpenny, don't deliver any more if it goes up again.'  The village shop was probably a half penny cheaper, but it was a mile away and we never measured it, just filled the can up to the top. I always thought my Dad was the worst business man in the world.

I really like this one, and it seems to me a lot more than just clever. Wonderful construction and novel (back door)approach to a universal theme. I especially liked stanza 3 "small behinds". I love it when a line throws me off guard, makes complete sense, and I have to re-focus on the poem. A little surprise in language like this brings a poem to life--to expect the unexpected. But I found myself stumbling a bit in the meter of Stanz 5, until 2nd read and realized this was the exact middle of the poem (a bit of a turn around into the completion of the thought). It's most interesting this is a 9 stanza poem that seems to move in an internal movement of stanzas constructed as 4, 1 (turn around), and 4 (leading to last line--" the surpise sinker"). So there seems to be something unsymetrical about the symetry of the construct which also seems endemnic to the intention of the poem. But I'm not going to say "hat's off" becuse I don't want to get sunburn on my bald spot.

Saying "I love you" may be the most difficult words for a man to say...WE are programmed to do so much, but at the same token we have many things that we have to figure out for ourselves on earth.
