If I could stand on the sill
Your cracked window, my home
I’d finish your every sentence
With one of my own
Caustic completed with growth
Tell me something I don’t already know
If I could stand on the sill
Your cracked window, my home
I’d finish your every sentence
With one of my own
Caustic completed with growth
Tell me something I don’t already know

to be honest, Audrey, i find this a little strange and demanding, especially the use of ‘caustic’..that is not a criticism but a response from a reader who feels challenged by this…and then on the other hand i see ease and such intimacy between the two that there’s intimate understanding…i’ll go for the latter interpretation.
Sorry for going on but good writing does that to me.
Big Hugs

JF, you couldn’t be any closer to understanding my poem than if you had sat down with a cup of coffee and heard my confession. You have a window to my soul that many cannot tap into and I truly relish your interpretation. You make me feel heard. Thank you ever so, love.
I’m listening intently, jf. xx

Sadly, I don’t. If I did, they might be a lot better and less abrasive to true poets. Thank you for thinking so, Susan. I’m glad you witness my attempts. I work hard on some…but 8 times out of 10 they’re done in 15 minutes tops.
