It's probably the height of narcissism to not be able to delete old email compliments.

That's what I like about your poem- straight forward poems leave me a bit flat, to be honest. A friend complained about my own poetry once, saying it was too "concept-driven", not concrete enough. My thought is: my life is painted in layers of opaque paint. Poetry is a way to strip the paint so we can see the wood grain below the surface.

Walkinbird 3 Jan 1892 sends: Wow, I know I'm verbose and generally use a dense, turn-of-the Century form that drives most people nuts - but "layered?" That's such a compliment! And you are picking up the "creation" as intended. It's kinda philosophical erotica. I can't seem to write about passion in a straight-forward way. |
