cute! ,-)
and the poem rolls nicely over my tongue. Made me think of Carson McCullers.
Have you by now given up and post everything on the fun forum to avoid miscellaneous? ;-)
I wondered why it seems, that your poems always seem to trigger a certain kind of male reaction: as if your poems were cuties (which they are) and the boys in town flock around them to impress them by playing cool by bragging around . That is at least what I do . ;-) I have seen a certain guy whose name has a bee in it, behave like that, too. (Sorry B, but I had to punch you back for your rather brazen abuse of the word "unexpectedly" ( ;-) would have made for a nice gurkskism in that particular context. Good job!) When I catch myself in flagranti, or if I prefer, "caught in the act", I can't but grin. I'd suggest to christian it the newsclips effect.
See, it just worked again. Not bad at all! ;-) Reminds of the linguist Graham Thurgood's always first footnote going like that: "I shall be astonished, if all my faults proved minor". To me not being in/to the male kind of mankind, that phrasing is a cutie, too.
