men men men

it actually has quite a few meanings for such a short little poem. part of it is a woman's dissatisfaction with casual sex, you could say. another is touching on the difficulty we have saying no (at least once in our lives, anyway). i could explain the metaphors bit by bit i guess.

prairie muck - pretty straight forward, not completely clean and muskeg is a canadian marsh. words feel moist (speaking into my stomach). sex talk. lie down flat and yellow (yellow is sickly) and dry (self explanatory) like a piece of highway grass. so i'm complying, even though i don't really want to. bending like grass. and xeroxing manitoba in his lips, ahh that means, i'm grasping at something familiar. trying to make him seem like less of a random person i'm finding comfort in.

i think that's the glory of poetry. you don't have to understand what the premise is, just the feelings that the words and images envoke. cause honestly, i don't know if i'd want any one to know exactly what i'm talking about.

the subject matter made me squirm a bit. but sheesh, a powerful little piece. did you just get some random inspiration or did you know someone that this happened to? what's the story, morning glory.

yes, the lack of punctuation is confusing for most people. but its supposed to all be one thought, and i feel like when i use periods it disrupts that. in this poem i rely heavily on linebreaks for pauses as opposed to the more conventional comma

"there would proof"

i think you're looking for 'there would be proof' or 'there would prove'. besides that though, a very interesting poem. frank like you. =) no funny business

all i can stress is DESCRIPTIVE WORDS

they are like the glitter that keeps my poetry looking radtastic. though message is certainly important, the words and metaphors you choose will be what set your poem a part from the rest. right now your language is feeling a little cliche
