I'm not a fan of the F-word (except when I stub my toe), but I have to say, I love the poem and can't wait to tell someone to "take a mountain..."<br /><br />The second one starts out with such atmosphere and just gets better. My FAVE line is "the rats are waiting". That is superb!<br /><br />Now, as if you couldn't top those two, you pull a poetic rabbit out of your hat with Kite Flying - this could well be the best of yours I've read (and there are many to choose from). I LOVE that "blackbird feathers" image.<br />(Those little black books certainly do stir up the old sense, don't they?)<br /><br />KatKat Mortensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877694888419628533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012340126991815859.post-23418613730923149562010-04-12T11:04:18.044+01:002010-04-12T11:04:18.044+01:00These are fabulous!

I love anger, and that is a class angry poem.<br /><br />Also, where does one find the bollix poet?Titushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16380213493011623153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012340126991815859.post-29344051335282917072010-04-11T21:27:36.057+01:002010-04-11T21:27:36.057+01:00I especially like the 3rd poem!
