Array ( [sid] => 11533 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => Sitting in My Garden [time] => 2003-01-28 23:50:00 [hometext] => A poem that accepts that a space once filled by someone can chill by its presence. [bodytext] => Sitting in my garden.
A butterfly flutters by, ignores me
but semaphores bye bye.

Sitting in my garden.
An ant arrives, examines my shoes
And antics away

Sitting in my garden.
A bee buzzes over, checks me out
Then bumbles off.

Sitting in my garden.
A wrathful wasp snarls in, wounds me,
zzzzts off to new wars.

Sitting in my garden.
The sullen space that you once filled creeps close -
and stays.

HI,
I, on the other hand, know exactly why I like YOUR pithy, humorous and sometimes touching poems.
Thanks for taking the trouble to say something positive.

Perhaps you've hit the button with your description of my poems. We are both in our own way alike. By that I mean different to much of the "main stream YPDC"
you know....
lost love........loneliness......suicidal.........heart and soul fanatics...........
I oftern wonder what these characters are going be like whern they've been together for a few years dealing with reality

Thanks for your kind words about my poetry.

Interesting? I fail to comprehend those words. The poem is beautiful. The silver-sweet chill of love, tinged with a mild tongue of bouyant irony. I love it.

Whoever you are, I admire your work.
