Absolutely loved it. I felt like I could get lost in the descriptions-- and I did a few times, so be careful of that. The only technical difficulties I noticed was that when you're writing about him looking at his watch it gets a little awkward. Maybe just look it over and see if anything can be done. Thanks for the good read, they're hard to come by on here. =)

I'm usually the person dancing. :P But I never really thought about the other side of the story -- the people that may be judging me haha. Morgen rocks and stuff.

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.

Title article: pow wow grounds
Date: 2008-08-08 13:28:59

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.

that was, wow. super confusing

Title article: She
Date: 2008-08-07 16:33:05

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.

Title article: goodnight, america
Date: 2008-08-07 16:18:58

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
