"Reporter" big tent poetry #43-“read-it-over-someone’s-shoulder” wordle with bonus phrases


There is also the matter of
a typical question that will tangle me up
You smile as if to defy me, I let out a gasp
A flame burns in your boyish heart
like a parade to wake up the hiding world
As you slip one thigh over the other and
proceed to write the story …

  4. Love the line "like a parade to wake up the hiding world". And I like that the poem isn't necessarily what it seems to be.

  8. You're such a tease.

    I liked the way you worked the words in to your poem this week. I wonder where this will lead.

  21. Delightfully sensual, but also I really like how we're at the same time seeing the middle of something and the beginning of something. A loaded moment.

  22. Thanks so much, Joseph. Seems these words
    brought out a lot of sensuality with people.
    I can't say that is what I felt, maybe more
    of a defiance:)

  23. Great poem, Pamela. This short poem says a lot! Thanks for the view over the shoulder. Nicely done.

  24. I love the idea of the "typical question" tying up the speaker despite the fact that it's typical. That starts the poem off with a nice sense of the speaker's imbalance.
