funny...you have a good sense of humor that comes through in your work and you put the thought of cutting of someone's dick poetically.  I like it.

Ah, this surprised me. I like that!
Smug and clever.

Fun one.  I wonder if that's why some editors use blue pencil.  Don't wanna give no one ideas.

Thought about playing with your lines, but
they refuse to be copy/pasted. 

Poem works for me, though I think the lay out
could be changed.

Thanks for the read. D

Putting this out on the line today - great
title
re-vision of the pen
concrete poetry
representation of a thought
and contrary to my observation a couple days ago
the male does make an appearance!

perhaps the circumcision was what the editor did to her work ?

and maybe Rick is right it is time for more blue ink rather than red


thanks for looking in Rashmi

Definitely! And the debate over the merits of circumcision echoes the pros and cons of so many editing suggestions.

dear Stella

it does me good to know this reached your doorstep and passed the morning coffee quiz

`

should perhaps the Workshop category on all poetry forums be re named Circumcision ?


`

silent all apologies for arriving late to the party.  i never grade in red as they say it draws attention to all the wrong parts and shatters confidence.  if only editors were as considerate!  but then again, there's something to be said for a woman's number written in corvette red lipstick.  lawrence
