I like your suggestion. It's been a few years since I listened to Mayall...that should be fun.

One suggestion is to remove penny from the first mention=--just leave us guessing with, "it goes with a quick spinning.." what the thing is. I enjoyed this.nondisclosed_email@example.com (dmehl808)Sat, 04 Apr 2009 22:52:27 +0000 Re: untitledhttps://bdelectablemnts.runboard.com/p2051,from=rss#post2051https://bdelectablemnts.runboard.com/p2051,from=rss#post2051Tere, Thanks for reading and stretching (or shrinking) to appreciate a form that does not appeal. "fleshy and a bit messy" sounds pretty good. Maybe I'll aspire to that during this Na Po party. Do I dare disturb the universe?

Every time I read it I am liking this poem and finding something new. Word choice, crafted lines, and especially the dance turn like a pas de deux here: as round / in your hollows as sound / in a bell. Damn exquisite, that image. And such attention paid to assonance and open vowel sounds. Then, of course, there is the message: you gots to pays your money and takes your chances. I am not an immediate fan of epigrammatic-like poetry. I guess I like my poetry stuff fleshy and a bit messy. But your way is showing me how it can be done to advantage. Sorry. Ain't got no complaints to offer.

To me titles are like makeup. Sometimes I'd rather not be bothered, ya know? And, hey, if no titles was good enough for Emily, it's good enough for me. nondisclosed_email@example.com (Katlin)Tue, 31 Mar 2009 14:29:33 +0000 Re: untitledhttps://bdelectablemnts.runboard.com/p2045,from=rss#post2045https://bdelectablemnts.runboard.com/p2045,from=rss#post2045Thanks Kat, For your post and giving thought to the title, definitely not my strength, these pesky titles.

Been trying to think of a title to suggest but so far can't think of one. nondisclosed_email@example.com (Katlin)Tue, 31 Mar 2009 13:43:06 +0000 untitledhttps://bdelectablemnts.runboard.com/p2016,from=rss#post2016https://bdelectablemnts.runboard.com/p2016,from=rss#post2016Hurry, it goes like a quick spinning penny, your bit of pressed copper, your chip off the sun, as round in your hollows as sound in a bell; this is the penny you pay to the well.nondisclosed_email@example.com (ChrisD1)Sun, 29 Mar 2009 11:07:29 +0000
