blast of violet glaze, a bed spread
waiting for me.  quandary of time
loosening for now, a sudden issue

Cheryl, one more "a" in quandary (no, not "quaandry"!) & let me say how much I love this poem, it's like a whole novel, and a good one. Tom

oh I was afraid it had an 'a' there, but didn't check.  my southerness is showing.  we pronounce it without the 'a'.

thanks for your comments.  i was actually describing one moment, but a whole novel will definitely do.

thanks much,
cheryl

tom, I guess you can move this to 'submit' altho I haven't been scoring points there lately.  I'm in a drought & don't reply much either.

thanks,
cheryl

..don't know about the "if" but am moving from Workshop to Submit board...

didn't mean to sound self-righteous.  what I meant was 'if you really think it's good enough'.  sorry, that comment really sounds bad.  I think I'll delete it.

cheryl

I wanted more.  There is not enough here for me to really get it, and I wanted to.  Best wishes!

I'm sorry Jonathan.  This is all there is.  There's nothing left.  I think my other brain has it.

Thanks for reading and commenting,
cheryl

ah, so that's where the other halves of all those poems are! of course! pardon me, have to run go root through the brain recycle bin...

o my, and can you imagine the poems in a brain recycle bin?  maybe a cross between Poe, Buk, and S. King?  Freaky...and just think...I helped....mwahahahaha!

;)

I don't get this one, I'm afraid.

Cheryl,

love this one.  could also be named "quickie", but quandary works much better.

tiko

lol, yes you're very astute, tiko.  quickie is right but I hope the poem is a little more elegant than that.  glad you like it.  kinda thought you would if you read it.

thanks,
cheryl

it is elegant and most enjoyable.

tiko

tiko, thanks so much for your attention.  I appreciate it.
