It's possible that I just don't want to have to pay anyone's dry cleaning bill. <BR/><BR/>Bill--I think of poems, in some ways, as "the long cut". You step off the path and into some moment, wondering if you'll find your way out again. I'm glad you found your way home at the end.<BR/><BR/>Ken--I think you concieved of the symbolism just they way I meant it. I'm glad you liked the title, also. As to being comforted...that's a rare thing in my poetics. I always seem to come up with more hard questions than comforting answers, both for myself and the reader. Still, I feel that poetry is a purgative, not a panacea. <BR/><BR/>Again, thanks to all of you for coming around.Patrick M.

Too often, Haikus (or at least those that are porrly written) don't allow for much of an imagery connection. Yours were all very bold, and by having the linkages that was multiplied tenfold.Risuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05882640814114412051noreply@blogger.com
