Just noticed there's a break in the last stanza on the first link - probably best to view the whole poem by scrolling down the main page link on "Literary Burlesque"! Lots of other great stuff to read there, too.
Thank you, JoAnne - and thanks for coming back so soon after your comment on my last post! I haven't slept yet! Off for some zeds now...I've re-drafted and edited fifty six poems today - pooped!
You are really in your ascendancy, Rae! I am so pleased for you. It was "Four Hours . . . " that nabbed me. I'm in that kind of state and you wrote the words I couldn't come up with. Thank you.

Wow. Wow. Wow. You have been so busy lately and doing wonderful things. I love this poem. It's all very inspiring!
ReplyDeleteGosh, thanks, Andrea! I actually thought of you as I was writing this poem - I had a feeling you'd like it - so pleased you do!
ReplyDeleteIt's a brill site if you hadn't come across it before - I can well imagine some of your work fitting in there.
Very happy to spread a little inspiration!
Good, good poem. I like the perspectives, and Cannibal Feast in particular really resonated. Memorable images throughout.
ReplyDeleteCool you!

Macabre. I like how befitting is the image. Your poetry is getting so sophisticated, Rachel. It's great.

ReplyDeleteRachel, your poetry is so vivid and your writing so lean. It's exhausting and rather wonderful.
ReplyDeleteYou're on a roll. This poem really makes me want to run wild and eat something raw.
ReplyDeleteExciting, unusual work!
Rachel, it appears you have quite a gift! I loved the poem. Good stuff :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lori - I find a lot of art work really inspiring. "Sophisticated" - yikes! Better stop now, else I won't "get" what I'm writing!
ReplyDeleteLeslie - is that a sign I'm about to fall flat on my face?!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad my words resonate for you - thank you - now I must publish something to lift you to the tree tops!
Thomas - you just described me! Haha - but seriously, thank you.
ReplyDeleteKass - go hunt crudites! Roar! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteWendy - hullo! Thanks - maybe less a gift than a run of luck but I'll take either!
ReplyDeleteOh, that's lovely! Well I definitely do.
ReplyDeleteAndrea, I wrote Objet Trouve after you'd posted the art I said reminded me of Bosch - the rest of the poem tootled along by and by.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Rachel. Another excellent piece of work. Very intense and dark, just the kind of poetry I like.
ReplyDeleteHeaded over! You're doing so well lately with all your writing - congrats!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jonathan. Great new profile pic you've got there, too!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Talli! Appreciate the support.
ReplyDeletePS Andrea - just noticed you changed your pic half way down the comments - I like that photo - very apt for this post, too!
ReplyDeleteWonderful, Rachel! All your hard work and perseverance bearing sweet fruit - delightful!
ReplyDeleteThank you, GW - I'm not giving up!
ReplyDeleteLove it. Love the stark quality and the surprising images. N x
ReplyDeleteWhat am I on about, Andrea - "Destroyed Object" is what I wrote after our art ramble! The poem I mentioned before is a totally different one!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Nu!
