- Hello, rap,
-
- I'm just stopping by work for a moment, so I won't see any replies or
- posts or such until Monday, but I thought I would share an interesting
- telegram I received from a woman who was dressed conservatively, but
- disturbed me with the sensuous bulbous shape of her nose's tip:
-
- POSTHUMOUS STOP A TOO SMALL TABLECLOTH STOP VULNERABILITY TO THE WET
- BOTTOM OF A DRINKING GLASS STOP NOTHING TO PREVENT A MAN FROM SEEING
- THE ANKLES OF A LADY STOP LOVE CANDLESTICK STOP
-
-
- As I try to decipher what the lovely candlestick is trying to tell me
- from her place of hiding, I also share this note from my little
- brother, who seems intrigued by this poetry network...and after all,
- this is family time, right? Why else would the solitary and lonely
- attempt suicide in vast numbers this time of year?
-
-
- So saieth my brother:

- Hello, this is my first and last entry on this poetry thing. I'm
- Don's brother, but don't hold him accountable for that. First of all,
- what's up with you, Phillip? And to that guy who wrote the criticism
- of "Storm", poems don't have to rhyme, they don't even need meter.
- I'm not a poet, but I do know how hard it is to rhyme especially a
- word like sortie, so give the guy a break. There is a lot worse
- garbage on here. Miss Chien or is it e.e. chien, "explosion" doesn't
- need to be capitalized but I enjoyed the poem anyway. Thanks for
- representing the creative side I so effectively neglect in my own
- existence. And thank You for reading, Love and Roses, Dave
-
- P.S.- Roses are Crimson
-
- Roses are crimson
- Violets azure
- You are not, but
- I am pure.
-
- -END-
-
-
- Enjoy.
-
- Yours,
-
